Why Patients in Woodland Hills Choose Clear Aligners
Clear aligners have become the preferred option for adults and teens who want to improve their smile discreetly. Unlike metal braces, these transparent trays fit snugly over your teeth and are nearly invisible when worn. The benefits extend beyond appearance.
A Discreet Path to Straighter Teeth
Clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment. Whether you are meeting with clients, presenting at work, or attending social events, no one needs to know you are in treatment unless you tell them. This makes clear aligners a natural fit for professionals and anyone who values a low-profile approach to orthodontic care.
Comfort, Flexibility, and Predictable Results
Each set of aligners is custom-made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth. You remove them when eating, brushing, and flossing — meaning no food restrictions and easier oral hygiene compared to braces. Treatment progresses in planned stages, and your final result is mapped out from the beginning using digital imaging technology.
What to Expect From Invisalign Treatment at Our Woodland Hills Practice
Dr. Kass brings over 30 years of clinical experience to every treatment plan. While his primary expertise is implant dentistry and full-mouth reconstruction, he applies the same precision and personalized approach to clear aligner cases.
Your Consultation and Custom Treatment Plan
Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation of your teeth, bite, and oral health. Using digital impressions, Dr. Kass creates a 3D model of your smile and maps out your treatment from start to finish. You will be able to see a preview of your expected results before you begin. This consultation is also the time to discuss your goals, timeline, and any questions about cost or insurance coverage.
Wearing Your Aligners: Timeline and Progress
You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Progress is checked periodically at our Woodland Hills office to ensure your teeth are moving as planned. Most patients complete treatment within 12 to 24 months, though mild cases may finish sooner. The result is a straighter, healthier smile that is easier to maintain.
Invisalign Cost in Los Angeles — What Factors Affect Pricing
The cost of Invisalign in Woodland Hills varies based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Mild corrections typically cost less than comprehensive realignment. Because Dr. Kass treats a wide range of cosmetic and restorative conditions, your treatment plan is designed around your specific needs — not a one-size-fits-all price.
PPO Insurance and Financing Options
We accept most PPO insurance plans, and many policies cover a portion of clear aligner treatment. Our team verifies your benefits before your first appointment so there are no surprises. For remaining costs, we offer financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Lending Club — including zero-percent options on approved credit. For more details, visit our Insurance & Financing page.
Clear Aligners vs. Veneers — Which Is Right for Your Smile?
Both clear aligners and veneers can improve the appearance of your smile, but they address different concerns. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right path.
When Alignment Is the Goal vs. When Aesthetics Are the Priority
Clear aligners are designed to correct the position of your teeth — closing gaps, straightening crowding, and improving your bite. Veneers, by contrast, are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of your teeth to change their shape, color, or size. If your teeth are crooked or misaligned, aligners address the root issue. If your teeth are straight but you want to improve their appearance — covering stains, chips, or uneven shapes — veneers may be the better option. For patients seeking a complete transformation, a smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic treatments for comprehensive results.

Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Most adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues are candidates for Invisalign. During your consultation at our Woodland Hills practice, Dr. Kass evaluates your alignment, bite, and overall oral health to determine if clear aligners are the right approach for your needs.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Treatment with Invisalign typically ranges from 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Mild adjustments may be completed in as few as 6 months, while more significant corrections require longer wear. Dr. Kass provides a personalized timeline during your consultation.
What Happens If Misalignment Goes Untreated?
Untreated misalignment can lead to uneven wear on tooth enamel, increased risk of gum disease, jaw pain, and difficulty cleaning between teeth. Addressing alignment early with clear aligners helps protect your long-term oral health and prevents more complex dental issues down the road.
