Invisalign Clear Aligners at Mint Dental Loft
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into better alignment. At Mint Dental Loft, we create a personalized clear aligner plan based on your goals, lifestyle, and timeline—so treatment feels easy, organized, and comfortable.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that straightens teeth using comfortable, transparent trays instead of traditional braces. Each aligner set is worn for one to two weeks as your teeth move closer to your ideal smile.
During your exam, we evaluate more than just tooth position. We also check your bite, jaw joint, gum health, and daily habits to ensure Invisalign is the best and most predictable option for your smile.
- Comprehensive Invisalign evaluation Detailed assessment of teeth, gums, bite, and jaw.
- Digital smile planning Advanced imaging helps us map your step-by-step tooth movement.
- Custom aligner series Clear trays designed just for your mouth and changed routinely.
- Progress check-ins We monitor your smile to ensure your teeth are tracking correctly.
- Post-treatment retainers Helps maintain your new smile long-term.

Invisalign FAQs
- How long does Invisalign treatment take?
- Most Invisalign cases at Mint Dental Loft complete in 6 to 18 months. Straightforward crowding or spacing finishes near the short end of that range, while cases involving bite correction or significantly rotated teeth take longer. Wearing each aligner the full 20 to 22 hours per day is the single biggest factor in staying on schedule.
- How many hours per day do I need to wear my aligners?
- Aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day, which means removing them only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. Falling below that window slows tooth movement and can put the teeth out of sync with the current aligner, which is why Mint Dental Loft checks fit at every visit.
- Is Invisalign painful?
- No. Switching to a new aligner produces mild pressure or tightness for a day or two, which is the sensation of teeth moving and resolves on its own. Mint Dental Loft recommends changing to a new set in the evening so the initial adjustment happens overnight.
- Can I eat or drink with my aligners in?
- No. Aligners should be removed before eating and before drinking anything except plain water. Hot liquids can warp the plastic, coffee, tea, and red wine will stain it, and chewing with aligners in traps food against the teeth. Mint Dental Loft advises rinsing the aligners and brushing before putting them back in.
- Will Invisalign affect my speech?
- A slight lisp is common for the first few days as the tongue adapts to the thin plastic covering the upper teeth. It fades as speech patterns adjust, and Mint Dental Loft finds that reading aloud for a few minutes each day shortens the adjustment period.
- Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?
- Invisalign treats mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite concerns in teens and adults, and works best for patients who will commit to 20 to 22 hours of daily wear. Severe skeletal discrepancies or heavily rotated teeth are often better treated with fixed braces, which Mint Dental Loft reviews at a consultation using digital scans, photographs, and radiographs.
- How do I start Invisalign at Mint Dental Loft?
- Call Mint Dental Loft in Altadena at (626) 639-8618 or request an appointment online. The first visit includes a digital scan, photographs, and radiographs, and produces a treatment plan that previews projected tooth movement before any aligners are ordered.
