Clear Aligners in Westlake Village, CA
Straighten Your Smile Without Brackets or Wires

Our personalized, technology-driven approach ensures every aligner plan is tailored with precision, delivering stunning results while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Treatment is led by Dr. Ted Baum, a Westlake Village native and recognized expert in cosmetic and restorative dentistry who blends clinical precision with advanced dental technologies to create exceptional outcomes.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners are custom-made trays that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Treatment typically lasts between 6 and 18 months, depending on your case.
Aligners are:
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- Nearly invisible when worn
- Custom-fitted for comfort and control
- Ideal for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues
At Westlake Dental Arts, we use advanced digital scanning technology to create precise 3D models of your teeth — no messy impressions. This data is used to design your full aligner series from start to finish with maximum accuracy.
Technology-Backed Treatment Planning
Every clear aligner case at our practice is guided by technology to ensure predictable, streamlined results. Your treatment benefits from:
- Intra-oral cameras to capture detailed visuals of your teeth and bite
- Digital X-rays for evaluating root positioning and bone structure
- 3D planning software to simulate tooth movements in real time
- Precision diagnostics for optimal comfort and fit
This level of detail allows us to plan your treatment efficiently and customize each aligner to follow your exact tooth movement roadmap.
Why Patients Choose Clear Aligners
Patients in our Westlake Village office consistently choose clear aligners because they offer:
- A nearly invisible way to improve alignment
- Fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces
- Greater flexibility for daily activities
- A shorter, more comfortable treatment experience
For adults who want an aesthetic solution, clear aligners are often part of a broader smile makeover plan, especially when combined with teeth whitening or dental bonding.
