OUR EXPERTISE

WHY We're The Best Choice for INVISALIGN

If you want to enhance your smile and straighten your teeth but do not like the way braces look, you still have options. One of those options is Invisalign. Invisalign uses clear aligners to gently but quickly move teeth into place according to Dr. Walker’s expertise.

These aligners are made just for you based on digital scans of your mouth, allowing them to perfectly fit against your teeth, rendering them invisible to those around you. The custom fit makes them much more comfortable than traditional braces too! Since you can remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, they are also incredibly convenient.

At this stage, orthodontists can see issues that may need early treatment to address a developing problem.

Invisalign First clear aligner treatment is designed for predictable results and a positive experience while addressing the unique needs of growing children.

No Impressions /3D Printing

Using the latest in scanning technology, gone are the days of uncomfortable, goopy impression trays. At Walker Orthodontics, we use an itero scanner to scan your teeth that is not only more comfortable for our patients, but gives us an accurate digital scan to use for our aligners and 3D printing.

When combined with an on premises 3D printer, these scans can help eliminate wait time for new aligners and bracket systems. Additionally, it allows completely custom appliances made exactly for our patients!

INVISALIGN FAQs

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign straightens your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and shift them a little at a time. At Walker Orthodontics we take a fast, comfortable digital scan with an iTero scanner, so there are no messy impression trays, and Dr. Walker maps out your full treatment before you ever start. You wear each set of aligners about 20 to 22 hours a day, swapping to the next set roughly every one to two weeks until your smile is where it should be.

How much does Invisalign cost in Westlake Village?

Invisalign cost depends on how much movement your teeth need and how long you're in treatment, so the most accurate answer comes from a consultation. Walker Orthodontics offers flexible monthly payment plans and will review your insurance orthodontic benefits with you up front, and your first consultation is always free. Serving Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, and Oak Park, we make it easy to find out your exact price. Call (805) 409-9931 to schedule.

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

For most cases, yes. Invisalign moves teeth just as effectively as braces when it's planned and supervised by an orthodontic specialist. The key difference is who's directing your care: Dr. Walker is a board-certified orthodontist, so your aligners are custom-designed and monitored by an expert rather than mailed to you without an exam. For certain complex bite issues braces may still be the better tool, and Dr. Walker will tell you honestly which option fits your case at your consultation.

Can my teenager or younger child get Invisalign?

Yes. Walker Orthodontics offers Invisalign Teen for young adults who want to straighten their teeth without impacting their confidence, and Invisalign First for children roughly ages 6 to 10 as part of early (Phase I) treatment. Dr. Walker has advanced training in early treatment and clear aligners for growing patients, so she can determine whether your child is a good candidate now or whether it's better to monitor their growth first.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Most Invisalign cases take about 12 to 18 months, though simpler cases can finish faster and more complex ones take longer. Wearing your aligners the recommended 20 to 22 hours a day is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule. Because we have an in-office 3D printer, we can produce new aligners and appliances quickly and keep your treatment moving without long waits.

Do I have to deal with messy molds or impressions?

No. Instead of the old goopy impression trays, we use an iTero digital scanner to capture a fast, accurate 3D image of your teeth, which is far more comfortable and lets you see your treatment plan digitally. That same scan drives your custom aligners, so your Invisalign is made to fit only your teeth. It's a big part of why patients across the Conejo Valley find treatment here easier than they expected.
