What’s Invisalign?

Invisalign in Irvine is an alternative to traditional braces that moves your teeth using clear plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. The plastic aligners are like sturdier versions of teeth whitening trays that you just slip over your teeth. Your dentists, Dr. Scott Rice and Taylor Rice, use advanced Invisalign technology to design your aligners. They’ll create a precise sequence that will move your teeth through a series of steps to achieve the beautiful straight smile you desire.
Invisalign can work much faster than traditional braces, and the best part—the treatment is nearly invisible. We encourage you to ask some of your friends and neighbors in Irvine, CA. This smile-transforming treatment is so popular that you likely know many people who have had it. And you probably didn’t notice their aligners, either!
Why Invisalign at Rice Dentistry in Irvine?
We’re among the top 1% of Invisalign providers in California. We focus entirely on adults and know how to maximize the speed of treatment while focusing on esthetics, gum display, straight teeth, and bite management. Our method provides patients with a beautiful straight smile and a perfect bite.
Here’s a revised version with one instance of “Invisalign” removed:
Dr. Taylor Rice attended the only dental school in the US that allows a dental student to become certified for Invisalign during dental school. He’s been performing this treatment for over a decade. Dr. Scott Rice was an early adopter and was certified in 2001—the first year it was available.
Dr. Taylor and Scott Rice’s extensive background in treating and managing bite and jaw joint problems gives patients in the confidence that their results will be comfortable and long-lasting.
