Invisalign® Treatment
DR. IGOR OCHEV, SAN RAFAEL DENTIST
“Is Invisalign treatment better for me than braces?”
Each one has its advantages but the answer all depends on whether your case is mild, moderate, severe, or complex. If you’re interested in Invisalign treatment, let Dr. Igor Ochev give you an honest assessment if it’s right for you.
Complimentary Consultation
Dr. Ochev is a Invisalign certified dentist who uses the iTero® digital technology. During your free consultation, please tell us about the issues you have with your teeth and what kind of results you’d like to see. With our iTero scanner, we can show you a 3D simulation of what your smile looks like after your Invisalign treatment. DID YOU KNOW?
Dr. Ochev has been honored six times as Best Esthetic Dentist in Pacific Sun’s “Best of Marin” Readers’ Poll.
Is Invisalign Right For You?
Invisalign can be used to treat the vast majority of common problems for adults and teens. Whether your smile needs minor improvements or more extensive adjustments, Invisalign can certainly help. It’s successful in treating overly crowded or widely spaced teeth. Also, it can relieve more complex issues, including overbites, underbites and even crossbites. In fact, Dr. Ochev can use Invisalign in all or part of just about any treatment plan.

Treatment Plan with Your Goals in Mind
Invisalign treatment involves the wearing of a series of clear aligners over time to straighten your teeth. You switch these aligners out about every two weeks during the process. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and Dr. Ochev, you know you’ll end up with a smile that truly fits.
Clear Benefits Right Before Your Eyes
If you’re ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Invisalign is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other works as effortlessly as this system. Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life.
Key Benefits of Invisalign Treatment
Customized
Dr. Ochev takes precise impressions and customizes your aligners for your teeth.
Effective
Even before your treatment is finished, your teeth alignment improves and you begin enjoying the benefits of a better smile.
Clarity
Your aligners are virtually invisible so hardly anyone will even know you’re straightening your teeth. They’re unobtrusive in business meetings or social gatherings.
Comfort
Your aligners are comfortable to wear; there are no metal wires or bands and the edges are smooth so they won’t irritate your gums or cheeks.
Removable
You can remove your aligners so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss as usual, or attend special occasions.
INVISALIGN TREATMENT
4 Simple Steps
Step 1
Once Dr. Ochev decides your situation is suitable for Invisalign, he maps out a treatment plan with your goals in mind. Then, he takes impressions and pictures of your teeth for digitization purposes.
Step 2
Dr. Ochev uses the iTero scanner to capture a 3D model of your teeth and gums. It’s more comfortable for you than the traditional use of putty-filled impression trays because there’s no mess, unpleasant taste or smell, and you can breathe and swallow as you normally would. Watch the video. Then, he plans out your tooth movements throughout your entire treatment timeline. What’s nice is that you’ll be able to see a virtual representation of your teeth before, during, and after completion of the Invisalign process.
Step 3
From Dr. Ochev’s precise plan, customized aligners are created with advanced technology for you to wear at each stage of your treatment. While the number of aligners varies for each individual situation, a full set of treatment typically includes 20-30 aligners per arch.
Step 4
You should wear your aligners at all times, with the exception of eating and drinking, in order to complete your treatment in the timeline determined by you and Dr. Ochev. You’ll come in for occasional checkups to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners. During the entire treatment process, you’ll be able to watch your teeth gradually moving into place. Your smile will, little by little, move into something you’d like to show off. The people around you will be sure to notice your new-found confidence.
