Clear Aligners FAQs
- How do clear aligners straighten teeth?
- Clear aligners use a series of custom-fabricated, removable trays that apply controlled, sequential force to move teeth into proper alignment. At Blue Pearl Dentistry, Dr. Robert S. Huang uses the iTero digital scanner to capture a precise 3D model of your teeth, allowing accurate treatment planning and predictable tooth movement.
- Which system is better: Invisalign or Candid Pro?
- Both Invisalign and Candid Pro are clinically effective orthodontic systems, and the best choice depends on your specific case complexity and lifestyle preferences. Invisalign treats a wider range of malocclusions, while Candid Pro incorporates remote monitoring for added convenience — Dr. Robert S. Huang evaluates your bite, crowding, and goals to recommend the optimal system.
- How long does treatment take?
- Most clear aligner cases are completed in 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of crowding, spacing, or bite correction needed. Consistent wear of 20–22 hours per day and following Dr. Robert S. Huang’s tray progression schedule are the most important factors in keeping treatment on track.
- Do clear aligners hurt?
- You may feel mild pressure or tightness for a day or two when switching to a new aligner tray, which is a normal sign that controlled tooth movement is occurring. This sensation typically fades quickly as your periodontal ligament adapts to the new position.
- How often do I need to wear the aligners?
- Clear aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for optimal results, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Consistent compliance is critical to achieving the predicted tooth movements within the planned treatment timeline.
- Are clear aligners covered by insurance?
- Some PPO dental plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to clear aligner therapy such as Invisalign or Candid Pro. The team at Blue Pearl Dentistry can verify your orthodontic coverage and discuss flexible financing to help manage any remaining balance.
- How do I get started?
- Contact Blue Pearl Dentistry in the Carthay neighborhood of Los Angeles to schedule a clear aligner consultation. Dr. Robert S. Huang will use the iTero scanner to assess your teeth and create a digital treatment preview so you can see your projected results before beginning.

This was my best dental experience ever. Dr. O was extremely thorough and explained everything to me clearly. She did not try to recommend unnecessary procedures. As a doctor, I really appreciated her bedside manner and will refer many patients to her.
