Invisalign in Glendale, CA
Looking for Invisalign in Glendale? At Textbook Orthodontics, your clear aligner treatment is planned and checked by Dr. Nathan Nourian, an orthodontist who focuses only on straightening teeth and fixing bites. Our Panorama City office is about 15 miles from Glendale, usually a 25 to 30 minute drive up the I-5.
Why See an Orthodontist for Invisalign?
Many dentists offer Invisalign, but aligners are only as good as the plan behind them. Dr. Nourian completed a 3-year residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. He maps out each stage of tooth movement, decides when attachments or elastics are needed, and checks your bite at every visit. You see the same orthodontist from your first consultation to your final retainer.
Cómo funciona Invisalign
1. Consultation. Dr. Nourian checks your teeth, bite and jaw and tells you whether Invisalign or braces will give you the better result.
2. Digital scan. We scan your teeth and plan every step of movement before your aligners are made.
3. Wear your aligners. You switch to new aligners on the schedule we set and wear them most of the day and night.
4. Short check-ins. Quick visits let us confirm your teeth are moving as planned.
5. Retainers. When treatment is done, a retainer keeps your smile in place.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign works well for many cases of crowding, gaps and mild to moderate bite problems in teens and adults. It suits people who want treatment that is hard to notice and who will keep their aligners in most of the day. If your bite needs more correction, metal braces or clear braces may work better.

Invisalign in Glendale FAQs
How long does Invisalign take?
It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Dr. Nourian will give you a time estimate at your consultation once he has reviewed your scan.
How many hours a day do I need to wear aligners?
Most of the day and night. Take them out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush.
Can my teen get Invisalign?
Yes, if they will wear their aligners consistently. Dr. Nourian checks readiness at the consultation and will suggest braces if they would work better.
Do I have to come in often?
No. Invisalign usually needs fewer office visits than braces, and check-ins are short.
Can I start with a virtual consultation?
Yes. Send us photos through our virtual consultation and we will be in touch.
