Invisalign^® in Moreno Valley

Before-work appointments

Early check-ins, and keeping your result for good

The Canyon Springs office opens at 9 AM Tuesday through Friday (Monday 10 AM to 5 PM and Tuesday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM), which suits aligner patients who would rather get a progress check done before the workday than after it. The office is at 2712 Canyon Springs Pkwy, Suite 3, Riverside; Moreno Valley's two freeways, SR-60 and I-215, both run through the neighboring city, and free parking throughout the Canyon Springs plaza lot, with accessible spaces near Suite 3.

Retainers are the second half of treatment

The day the last aligner comes out is not the end. Bone and gum around newly moved teeth take time to settle, and until they do, teeth tend to move back toward where they started. That is why every aligner case at this office ends with retainers fitted to your final result.

• Wear retainers exactly as instructed — typically most of the day at first, then at night.
• Clean them like aligners: cool water and a soft brush. Hot water can warp them.
• Keep them in their case whenever they are out of your mouth — pets are known to chew them.
• If a retainer cracks or stops fitting, call rather than waiting; teeth can shift within weeks.

If your teeth moved after braces years ago

A common reason adults come in is relapse: braces as a teenager, retainers that were eventually forgotten, and front teeth that have drifted. Clear aligners are often a good way to correct that kind of movement, and the digital scan shows how much movement is involved before you decide anything.

Aligner treatment here is planned by Dr. Henry Abraham, an Invisalign® Preferred Provider, for patients from Moreno Valley, Canyon Springs and east Riverside.

Starting treatment at Canyon Springs

Your first two appointments

The consultation

An exam, X-rays and a digital scan, with time to talk about what you want changed. If there is a cavity or gum inflammation, that is treated before aligners start. An early slot means the whole visit can be finished before a morning shift.

Collecting your aligners

When the aligners arrive, you come back to have them fitted. If your plan uses attachments — small tooth-colored bumps that help the aligners grip — they are bonded on at this visit. You leave with the first sets, a case, and a schedule for switching at home.

Teens at Canyon Springs

For a teenager, a check-in before school is often easier to keep than one after it. A parent is welcome at the consultation, and the plan, the cost and the rules about wearing time can be gone through in Spanish if that suits the family better.

Between visits

Keep the case with you, take the aligners out for anything but water, and brush before they go back in. If one cracks or goes missing, phone the office rather than waiting for your next check-in.

Getting here

The office is at 2712 Canyon Springs Pkwy, Suite 3, Riverside, in the Canyon Springs business park — across the 60 from the Canyon Springs Plaza shopping center in Moreno Valley. The City of Riverside's specific plan for the area names the Day Street exit on the 60 and the Eucalyptus Avenue exit on I-215 as its freeway access.
