Straighten Your Smile — The Clear, Comfortable Way
At Dr. Richard Baldwin’s dental office in Huntington Beach, we’re proud to offer Invisalign—a clear and virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. If you’ve been dreaming of a straighter smile without the hassle of metal wires and brackets, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently and gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth and move them into alignment without irritation.
This modern solution is ideal for teens and adults looking for a discreet way to improve their smile without the look and feel of metal braces.

Did you know?
Wearing Invisalign is in no way as restrictive as traditional braces? Many adults opt for this system not only because it is discreet, but also because there is no need to change your diet to avoid foods that could damage braces. This is because the Invisalign system is free of braces and brackets, instead opting for a removable tray that can be taken out prior to meals. Also, Invisalign fits well into busy Huntington Beach adult schedules, as there is no need to attend frequent visits for wire tightening. Most patients simply change to a new aligner tray every couple of weeks
How Does Invisalign Work?
Your Invisalign journey starts with a digital scan of your teeth, allowing us to map out a complete treatment plan using 3D computer imaging technology. This plan guides the creation of a custom series of aligners, each designed to make small adjustments to your teeth’s position.
- Each aligner is worn for 1–2 weeks
- You’ll switch to the next aligner in the series as directed
- Total treatment time averages 6–18 months, depending on your unique case
- Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day for best results
Throughout the process, we’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure your new smile is on track.

- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

Is Invisalign Safe and Approved?
Yes—Invisalign is FDA-cleared and has helped millions of patients worldwide since its approval in 1998. It is a proven and safe orthodontic option backed by decades of research and innovation.
What Do Invisalign Aligners Look Like?
Invisalign aligners are clear and lightweight, resembling custom whitening trays. They are nearly invisible when worn and fit snugly over your teeth for a discreet look throughout treatment.
What should I expect during my Invisalign treatment?
During your Invisalign treatment, you’ll wear a set of clear, removable aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners as your teeth gradually shift into place. While every smile is unique, most patients in Huntington Beach complete treatment in 12 to 24 months, with periodic dental visits to monitor progress.
Will I need any post-treatment care after Invisalign?
Yes. Once your Invisalign treatment is finished, you’ll need to wear a retainer daily, especially in the initial months, to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting. Ongoing routine dental check-ups and professional cleanings every six months are also important to keep your smile healthy and long-lasting.
