The Gold Standard in Discreet Teeth Alignment
At Rifkin Raanan, we believe your smile should be as effortless as it is beautiful. That’s why we offer Invisalign in Beverly Hills — the gold standard in clear aligner technology — overseen by Dr. Rodney Raanan, DDS, MMSc, a Harvard-trained prosthodontist whose specialty in tooth replacement and restoration gives him a uniquely precise command of how teeth move. Whether you’re a busy professional, a style-conscious teen, or simply someone looking for a subtle way to perfect your smile, Invisalign fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Our patients rave about how these virtually invisible clear aligners transform their teeth and boost their confidence. With our expertise in both cosmetic dentistry and facial harmony, you can trust that your Invisalign results will be beautiful — not just straight.
About Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution for anyone looking to straighten their teeth without the hassle of traditional metal braces. These clear, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made sets — each one moving your smile incrementally closer to its ideal position.
Using iTero digital scanning technology, we create a precise 3D model of your teeth and map out your full treatment plan before you wear a single aligner. You’ll be able to see a virtual preview of your results — how your smile will look at the end of treatment — before you even begin. Perfect for adults who want to maintain a polished appearance, or teens looking for a discreet alternative to braces, Invisalign offers flexibility, comfort, and results you’ll love.

Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for younger patients whose smiles are still developing. The aligners include compliance indicators — small blue dots that fade with wear — so parents and doctors can confirm the aligners are being worn the recommended 20–22 hours per day.
At Rifkin Raanan, teen Invisalign cases are overseen with the same precision and artistry we bring to our adult patients. We work closely with teens to ensure treatment stays on track and results are something they’re proud to show off.
Invisalign for Adults
It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Adult Invisalign is one of the most popular treatments we offer — particularly among professionals, performers, and patients in the public eye who need an orthodontic solution that won’t interfere with their appearance or daily routine.
The removable nature of clear aligners means no dietary restrictions, no bracket emergencies, and no compromises. At Rifkin Raanan, adult Invisalign is planned with your facial harmony and overall smile aesthetic in mind — not just tooth alignment in isolation.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign provides a method of straightening teeth without the inconvenience and discomfort that can come with wearing heavy, metal braces. They are easy to remove for cleaning and do not require any dietary restrictions. Key benefits include:
- Virtually Invisible: Clear aligners are discreet — most people won’t notice you’re in treatment.
- Removable: Take them out for meals, photos, and special occasions. No restrictions on what you eat.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic with no brackets or wires to irritate your gums or cheeks.
- Easier Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss normally — no navigating around hardware.
- Predictable Results: iTero digital scanning maps your full treatment plan and shows you your projected outcome before you begin.
- Fewer Office Visits: Generally requires fewer appointments than traditional braces — a win for busy schedules.
- Treats a Wide Range of Cases: Effective for crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
- Comfortable Progression: Gradual aligner changes are more comfortable than the periodic tightening of traditional braces.
- Less Impact on Speech: No metal components means less adjustment period for speaking naturally.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: No protruding wires or brackets that can cause mouth sores or injuries.
Is Invisalign Right for Me?
Beverly Hills Invisalign patients range from busy professionals and teens to performers and patients in the public eye — anyone who wants to correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite, without the visibility or maintenance demands of traditional braces.
It’s a particularly strong fit for patients who want results that integrate with their aesthetic goals, not just their bite. At Rifkin Raanan, we don’t plan Invisalign treatment in isolation. We consider how your teeth will look in the context of your full smile, your facial proportions, and the cosmetic work you may have now or plan to have in the future.
More complex alignment challenges or jaw corrections may require alternative treatments. Invisalign is also not recommended for younger children whose mouths are still developing — though Invisalign Teen is designed to accommodate growing smiles. During your consultation, our doctors will assess your case thoroughly and provide an honest recommendation.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Both Invisalign and traditional braces are effective, but they serve different needs and lifestyles.
- Comfort and Appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear and custom-molded to fit snugly, so you can smile freely without calling attention to your treatment. Traditional braces, with their brackets and wires, are more noticeable.
- Flexibility: Invisalign’s removable design makes eating and oral hygiene simple. Traditional braces can handle more complex cases but require more maintenance.
- Office Visits: Invisalign generally requires fewer check-ins than braces — a practical advantage for busy patients.
- Complex Cases: For severe bite discrepancies or significant jaw misalignment, traditional braces or combined treatment may be more appropriate. Our doctors will always recommend the approach that gets you the best result.
Invisalign for Adults
Not all clear aligners are created equal. Invisalign stands out for good reason.
- SmartTrack® Material: Invisalign’s patented material is engineered for better fit, more predictable tooth movement, and greater comfort than generic aligner brands.
- Professional Oversight: Unlike direct-to-consumer aligner companies, Invisalign treatment is planned and monitored by a trained dentist at every step — no guesswork, no unsupervised movement.
- iTero Integration: Invisalign’s compatibility with iTero digital scanning means your treatment is planned with millimeter precision from a full 3D model of your mouth — not impressions taken at home.
At Rifkin Raanan, we combine Invisalign’s technology with our cosmetic expertise to deliver results that are as beautiful as they are precise. Your smile deserves the best.
The Invisalign Timeline
Here’s what to expect from start to finish:
- Consultation: We assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine whether Invisalign is the right approach for your case.
- iTero Digital Scan: We take a precise 3D digital scan of your mouth — no messy impressions — and use it to map your full treatment plan. You’ll see a virtual preview of your projected results before committing to treatment.
- First Fitting: When your custom aligners arrive, we fit them, confirm the feel, and walk you through care and wear instructions.
- Progress Check-Ins: Every few weeks you’ll move to a new set of aligners. We monitor your progress regularly to ensure teeth are tracking as planned.
- Final Reveal & Retainers: Once treatment is complete, we fit you for retainers to maintain your result long-term.
Most patients wear Invisalign for 6 to 18 months depending on case complexity — and the result is a smile worth every moment.
Discomfort with Invisalign
Any treatment that moves your teeth will come with some pressure — but with Invisalign, it’s minimal. You might feel some tightness when you switch to a new set of aligners, but this usually fades within a day or two. Unlike traditional braces, there are no wires or brackets to irritate your gums. Just smooth, custom-fit aligners designed with your comfort in mind.
Maintenance with Invisalign
- Clean Daily: Gently brush your aligners with a soft toothbrush or use Invisalign cleaning crystals. Avoid hot water.
- Store Safely: When not in your mouth, keep them in their case to protect from damage.
- Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss after meals before reinserting your aligners to keep both your teeth and trays clean.
- Wear Consistently: For treatment to stay on track, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day — removing only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
We’ll walk you through everything at your fitting appointment so you feel fully confident from day one.
Why Choose Rifkin Raanan for Invisalign?

Dr. Robert Rifkin’s four decades of experience shaping iconic smiles, and features in Forbes, Vogue, and GQ, mean your results will be beautiful in the fullest sense: aligned, proportionate, and natural.

THE INVISALIGN PROCESS
The Invisalign process begins with a consultation at our Beverly Hills dental office. Our expert team will assess whether Invisalign is right for you, take detailed digital scans, photos, and X-rays, and use those to produce a precise 3D model of your mouth and a complete digital treatment plan.
From that 3D model, your custom clear aligners are fabricated. Before your trays are finalized, we work directly with Invisalign’s manufacturing process to ensure your tooth alignment goals are properly incorporated and every detail is exactly right.
Each set of trays is worn for approximately one to two weeks and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing. Once that set has done its job, you move to the next — each one gradually and incrementally guiding your teeth toward their optimal position.
The overall length of treatment depends on how much movement is needed. In some cases, minor tooth preparation may be recommended to create the space needed for ideal alignment. If you’d like to straighten your teeth with Invisalign, our Beverly Hills cosmetic dentists at Rifkin Raanan have the knowledge, skill, and experience to deliver stunning results. Call us today.
