Invisalign® Treatment in South San Francisco
If you’re looking for a discreet, modern way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign offers a comfortable and highly effective alternative to traditional braces. At Dela Rama Dental, we provide customized Invisalign treatment designed not only to improve the appearance of your smile, but also to optimize your bite, function, and long-term stability.
We proudly serve patients in South San Francisco and surrounding communities with a comprehensive, detail-oriented approach to clear aligner therapy.
What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work? 
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Using advanced 3D digital scanning, we map out your entire treatment plan before you even begin.
Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next stage. For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign is an effective solution for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, 
including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbite and deep bite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
For more complex cases, we take a multidisciplinary approach and may combine Invisalign with cosmetic or restorative procedures.

We evaluate each case individually to determine the most predictable treatment option.
Our Approach to Invisalign Treatment
At Dela Rama Dental, Invisalign treatment goes beyond simply straightening teeth. We focus on how your bite functions over time.

Consistent wear (20–22 hours per day) is the most important factor in achieving efficient results.
