Orthodontics improves more than just appearance. It enhances comfort, function and long-term oral health.
Clear aligners are transparent, making them a subtle option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without noticeable metal braces.
Custom-made from thin, smooth plastic, clear aligners fit comfortably and avoid the irritation often caused by brackets or wires.
Because aligners are removable, you can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. Simply take them out, eat, brush and put them back in.
You can brush and floss normally without navigating around brackets. Clean aligners help maintain fresh breath and healthy teeth.
Each aligner is designed to make minor adjustments, gradually guiding your teeth into their ideal positions.
With fewer office visits and no wire adjustments, clear aligners are perfect for adults and teens who prefer a flexible routine.
You may be an excellent candidate for clear aligners if you:
Want a subtle, discreet orthodontic solution
Prefer a removable treatment option
Have mild to moderate misalignment, spacing or crowding
Want to correct bite issues like overbite or crossbite
Are responsible about wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day
Dr. Kim evaluates your smile and goals to determine if clear aligners are the right fit for you.
At Enhance Dentist in La Crescenta, we provide a smooth, comfortable and personalized orthodontic experience from your first visit to your final aligner.
We begin with a detailed exam, digital scans and a conversation about your goals. Dr. Kim checks your teeth, bite and alignment to confirm you are a good candidate.
Using advanced imaging and computer modeling, we design your treatment plan and show you a preview of how your smile will look after aligners are complete.
Your aligners are created using smooth, durable plastic that fits your mouth comfortably and precisely.
You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours daily, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. Each set gently moves your teeth closer to their ideal position.
Every few weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners. Quick check-ins with Dr. Kim ensure your progress stays on track.
Once your teeth reach their final alignment, we evaluate your results and make any refinements needed for a perfect, balanced smile.
We provide retainers to help maintain your new smile and keep your teeth aligned for years to come.

"Couldn’t recommend this place enough"
I’ve been coming here the past 6 years give or take and always have such a pleasant experience! It’s great to know that current practices and techniques are constantly being refined, instead of just adhering to the norm and being stuck in the past. They recently fit me for a night guard and used new technology to get a “mold” for me without having to physically put my teeth against a material. Smooth, seamless, and right out the door! Couldn’t recommend this place enough.
"The best dental experience I’ve had to date!"
The best dental experience I’ve had to date! Dr. Kim was fast, efficient, kind, and did excellent work. His dental hygienist had the most calming presence and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. After not being in a dental chair for years I was anxious going in, but my experience went so well, any fears I had completely disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and his amazing staff. I plan on staying with Enhance Dentist.
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays that apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Each new set of aligners makes small adjustments until your smile is fully aligned.
Yes, for many cases. Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues. Dr. Kim will evaluate your smile to determine whether aligners or braces are the better option for your goals.
For best results, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss.
Most patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which typically lasts only a day or two. This pressure is a normal sign that your teeth are moving as planned.
Treatment times vary, but most clear aligner plans range from 6 to 18 months, depending on your alignment needs. Dr. Kim provides an accurate estimate during your consultation.
