Invisalign Upland CA
Invisalign by Dr. Sikka in Upland, CA at Higher Ground Dentistry
Your teeth do more than just help you bite and chew — they play a vital role in maintaining your facial structure and overall oral health. When your teeth are overcrowded or misaligned, it can affect how you chew, speak, and clean your mouth effectively. Improper alignment can also make you more prone to plaque buildup, which increases the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.
Beyond the physical effects, a crooked smile can take a toll on your confidence. Many people with bite issues find themselves hiding their smile or feeling self-conscious in social settings. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
There are treatment options you can seek to correct those crooked teeth or overcrowded mouth and one of them is the Invisalign system.
If you’re dealing with crooked teeth or overcrowding, there are modern solutions that don’t involve bulky metal braces. At Higher Ground Dentistry, our Upland dental team proudly offers Invisalign — a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective way to straighten teeth and correct bite problems.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. These custom-made trays are virtually invisible and serve as a more comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Whether you have gapped teeth, crowding, or bite issues such as overbite, underbite, open bite, or crossbite — Invisalign can help.
Our team will first evaluate your bite and dental structure to determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If approved, a series of clear aligner trays will be created to fit your mouth perfectly. You’ll wear each set for about two weeks, then move to the next in the series — with each tray gently guiding your teeth into their ideal position.
Each day, you should wear the aligner trays for 22 hours so that they effectively move the teeth. It takes about 14 days to switch to the next set of aligners. It is crucial you continue changing the trays as the teeth shift. Our dentist will be able to tell you the right time to change to another set of trays.
