Clear-aligner treatment with Dr. Firouzeh Manesh, DDS — a certified Invisalign® provider.
Dr. Manesh is a certified Invisalign® provider, and she can give you a free consultation to discuss the details of your treatment. Encino Smile Care is on Ventura Boulevard in Encino, in the San Fernando Valley.
Invisalign shifts your teeth gently into place with custom plastic aligners. Invisalign utilizes 3-D imaging to design your unique care plan for a straighter smile.
The 3-D imaging lets you see the projected end result of your plan. The aligners don’t call attention to your treatment. Since you can remove them, oral care is simpler, and your diet doesn’t have to change — just take them out to eat and drink. There are no wires and brackets to irritate your mouth.
Invisalign treatment takes anywhere from 9 to 15 months. Patients receive successive sets of aligners — most patients use between 18 and 30. Patients switch to a new aligner approximately every two weeks, and Dr. Manesh evaluates your progress approximately every six weeks.
The consultation is where that is decided. Dr. Manesh looks at your teeth, gums and bite, assesses whether Invisalign is a good fit for your bite pattern, and lets you see a projected treatment plan before you decide. Questions about cost, treatment time and what to expect are part of that conversation. Members of the Optimal Wellness Plan receive 15% off Invisalign.

Clear aligner therapy begins with an assessment, not a product choice. For patients exploring Invisalign candidacy in Encino, the clinical team reviews the health of the teeth and gums, how the bite fits together, and the specific alignment concerns the patient wants addressed. Many patients across the San Fernando Valley ask whether aligners suit their situation; the answer depends on findings that only an in-person exam can establish.
A candidacy evaluation typically includes the following:
Mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite concerns are commonly treated with clear aligners. More complex tooth movements, significant rotations, or pronounced differences in jaw position may call for a different approach, or for aligners combined with other appliances. Providers walk through these tradeoffs so patients can compare options before committing to a plan.
Daily habits matter as well. Aligners are removable, which offers flexibility but depends on consistent wear, often 20 to 22 hours a day. Patients who find that routine difficult may be better served by a fixed option, and the team raises this question early. Retainers are also part of the plan, since teeth can drift after active movement ends.
Patients from Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, and neighboring Valley communities are welcome to bring a list of current medications, any prior orthodontic history, and questions about timing and cost. Treatment length varies with the findings of each case, and the team does not offer a fixed timeline before an exam.
