Bristol Dental & Orthodontics is one of Santa Ana’s trusted providers of Invisalign clear aligner therapy. Led by Dr. Andrew Finley, a USC-trained dentist with advanced orthodontic training, we help teens and adults in Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Tustin, and the surrounding Orange County area achieve straighter, healthier smiles without traditional metal braces.
Invisalign treatment at our Santa Ana office combines digital 3D scanning with custom-fabricated aligners that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, and because the aligners are nearly invisible, you can straighten your smile without anyone noticing.
What to expect at your Invisalign consultation in Santa Ana
During your first visit, Dr. Finley will examine your teeth and bite, discuss your goals, and take digital impressions using our intraoral scanner — no messy molds required. You’ll see a 3D preview of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like. If Invisalign is a good fit, your custom aligners are fabricated and ready in about two to three weeks.
- Custom-made aligners: Each set is tailored to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into place.
- Removable: Enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene with ease.
- Virtually invisible: Aligners are nearly undetectable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
