Discreet by Design
Clear aligners fit closely over your teeth, making them much less noticeable in photos, presentations, classrooms, and everyday conversations.
A modern way to straighten teeth
A Clearer Path to the Smile You Want
Invisalign® treatment uses a personalized series of nearly invisible aligners to move your teeth gradually without metal brackets or wires. The aligners are custom-made for your smile, removable for meals and oral hygiene, and designed to fit comfortably into school, work, sports, travel, and everything between.
At Brodsky Orthodontics, your treatment is directed by Dr. Joel Brodsky and Dr. Charles Brodsky. Their orthodontic specialty training and extensive clear-aligner experience help ensure your plan considers more than how the front teeth look. We evaluate your bite, tooth movement, facial balance, and the long-term stability of your result.
Your complimentary consultation includes a personalized evaluation so you can compare Invisalign®, traditional braces, and clear braces with confidence.

Invisalign® FAQ
Clear Answers Before You Begin
These are some of the questions Lakewood and Long Beach families ask most often about Invisalign® treatment. Your consultation is the best place to get answers specific to your smile.
Have a general orthodontic question? Visit our full FAQ page.1. How does Invisalign® work?
Invisalign® treatment uses a planned series of custom clear aligners. Each set applies gentle, controlled pressure to guide your teeth toward the positions prescribed by your orthodontist. You change aligners on the schedule provided by Brodsky Orthodontics and return for periodic progress checks.
2. How many hours a day should I wear Invisalign® aligners?
Most patients are directed to wear their aligners about 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, most drinks, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is one of the most important factors in keeping treatment on schedule.
3. How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
Treatment time depends on your bite, tooth movement, and how consistently you wear your aligners. Many Brodsky Orthodontics patients complete treatment in approximately 12 to 15 months, but your personalized plan may be shorter or longer.
4. Is Invisalign® only for adults?
No. Invisalign® can be an option for children, teens, and adults. Brodsky Orthodontics evaluates dental development, treatment needs, and readiness to wear aligners consistently before recommending the best approach.
5. Can Invisalign® fix bite problems as well as crooked teeth?
Invisalign® can address many spacing, crowding, and bite concerns. The right treatment depends on the complexity of your case, so Dr. Joel Brodsky or Dr. Charles Brodsky will evaluate your teeth and jaw relationship before recommending clear aligners.
6. What can I eat during Invisalign® treatment?
Because the aligners are removable, there are no brackets-and-wires food restrictions. Remove the aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, then brush or rinse before placing them back in your mouth.
7. Will Invisalign® affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight temporary lisp when they first begin wearing aligners. The tongue usually adapts within a few days as you become accustomed to speaking with them in place.
8. How much does Invisalign® cost at Brodsky Orthodontics?
The fee depends on the complexity and length of your treatment. At Brodsky Orthodontics, Invisalign® is generally priced comparably to traditional braces, and flexible payment options may be available. You will receive a clear, personalized estimate at your free consultation.
9. Why should I choose an orthodontist for Invisalign®?
An orthodontist completes additional specialty education focused on tooth movement, facial growth, and bite correction. Dr. Joel Brodsky and Dr. Charles Brodsky use that training and extensive Invisalign® experience to plan more than straight front teeth. They evaluate the full bite and long-term stability of your result.
10. Will I need retainers after Invisalign® treatment?
Yes. Teeth can shift after any type of orthodontic treatment. Retainers help protect your finished smile, and Brodsky Orthodontics will give you a personalized wear schedule when active treatment is complete.
