Custom Treatment To Complement Your Teen's Lifestyle

The Basics and Benefits of Choosing Removable Invisalign Aligners

What Is Invisalign for Teens?

Invisalign straightens teeth and corrects bites through a series of clear, removable aligners that are designed specifically by an orthodontist. The aligners are thin, comfortable and fit securely over the teeth, applying the force needed to align the teeth, while remaining discreet and comfortable. At Lux, Dr Cohen and her Team take these benefits up a notch by creating a customized experience. The process begins with a digital scan of the teeth using the advanced iTero® 3D scanner. Dr Cohen makes the images come to life by crafting a smile simulation that previews what the smile and bite will look like once the treatment is complete. The next step involves photographs of the face and teeth and a 3D Ultra Low Dose X-ray. The images are then used to diagnose and craft a custom plan. Lux invests in the most current technologies to ensure the safest, most accurate and detailed treatment.

Why Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign treatment is a winning combination of comfort, esthetics, accuracy and lifestyle. Compared to traditional braces, clear aligners are comfortable, aesthetically superior and conducive to excellent oral hygiene. Patients who wear Invisalign also finish 5 months sooner, on average, compared to patients wearing braces. Invisalign is also compatible with every day life. Travel, school, sports and summer camps are part of a Teen's life and Invisalign fits in seamlessly. Lux recommends a friendly schedule of wear to allow Teens to do all of the above while still finding enough hours of wear during the day and night to accomplish the desired treatment outcome. Since Invisalign aligners are removable, your Teen can maintain their regular dental hygiene regimen throughout the treatment, reducing the likelihood of decay and gum disease.

What is the Best Age to Start Invisalign Treatment?

Children ages 7 and older can be treated with Invisalign, if diagnosed by an orthodontist with Invisalign experience. Lux delights in the opportunity to help Teens find the perfect smile while keeping it fun and stress-free. Even if the pediatric dentist has not recommended an orthodontic consultation, it is always prudent to explore the possibilities so timing and options are ideal.

How Much is Invisalign for Teens?

Invisalign costs vary depending on estimated treatment time, location (for example, Los Angeles), insurance benefits and the orthodontist of choice. Invisalign treatment cost can be offset if a dental insurance plan carries an orthodontic benefit. Lux offers several options in cost, as well as financing for each.

Extensive Industry Experience

Dr Erin Cohen is a VIP Diamond Plus Invisalign provider, the highest status recognized by Invisalign to orthodontists who meet a benchmark of treating a designated number of patients over time. This vast experience over the last 20 years coupled with her Ivy League education at both Cornell and Columbia University, make her a highly sought after provider of the Invisalign system.

Lux Orthodontics was the featured Practice for the 2021 Invisalign Teen Forum for incorporating all things digital, including the Invisalign Virtual Care system. Teenagers and children alike benefit from Virtual Care, as it allows for a number of Teledentistry appointments during their time in treatment.

Dr Erin Cohen served as an expert panelist at the 2022 Invisalign Summit where she highlighted how to implement Virtual Care into a modern day orthodontic practice. She was also invited to speak at the 2021 Invisalign sales meeting to provide insight on her motivation to become an all-Invisalign practice.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Dr Erin Cohen and the Team at Lux take pride in an ultramodern approach to providing Invisalign for Teens in Los Angeles and beyond. During the first consultation, a smile simulation is created using state-of-the-art imaging technology - the iTero 3D scanner. This scan is used by Dr Cohen and the Team to visually demonstrate a smile transformation from beginning to end. The 3D Ultra Low Dose X-ray allows a full view of teeth, bone, sinuses and joints and contributes to the diagnosis and treatment plan that ultimately creates the most ideal result.

Custom Treatment Plans

The #1 goal at Lux is to create the most beautiful smile while, at the same time, creating space for Teens to enjoy their activities. In this vein, Dr Cohen and her Team tailor the treatment and the aligner wear schedule to positively contribute to both a good outcome and patient experience. Lux considers itself a holistic Practice, treating the whole Teen, not just their teeth.

Community Involvement

Lux understands the importance of instilling good oral habits, regardless of financial status. As a way of giving back to the community, Lux is proud to provide subsidized orthodontic treatments for our underserved community members. Lux also partners with TerraCycle®, an innovative company recycling hard-to-recycle waste. Lux joins in its mission to protect the planet by promoting clean, sustainable oral care. Lux encourages patients to return all aligners and then disposes of them through Terracycle. Another cause close to the hearts at Lux is showing our gratitude to Veterans for their service. Annually in November, Lux dedicates time to assemble and distribute 100 oral hygiene kits for homeless Veterans in Los Angeles. Each year, patients, family and friends participate by assembling a kit along with a personal, handwritten note of gratitude.

Go Virtual

Lux elevates the Invisalign Teen experience by incorporating a virtual component into treatment. Patients are registered in Virtual Care and are provided with cheek retractors and instructions on submitting weekly photos while wearing aligners. Patients receive immediate feedback as a result as the latest Al feature in Virtual Care. This feature promotes patient engagement and provides quality feedback while patients are not seen in the office.

What Patients Love about Lux

I would give Dr Cohen 100 stars if I could. She is the best orthodontist anyone could ever ask for. She is knowledgeable, reliable and cares deeply for her patients. She always explains complex medical condition to me using the most understandable term. And her attention to detail takes thoroughness to a new level. I don’t live in Los Angeles and Dr Cohen makes extra effort to accommodate my schedule. Her office staff is really awesome too! The lovely staff are professional and responsible. I really appreciate everything Dr Cohen and her team has done for me and I cannot be more satisfied with my results!

Xinlin Z.

I feel so blessed to have found Dr. Erin Cohen. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about her work, which shows based on my outstanding orthodontic results. She's great at building rapport and she seems very confident in her ability to give the best results for her clients. Dr. Cohen's staff is super friendly and everyone seems to get along quite well, creating a nice, soothing environment in her aesthetic office with panoramic views of the surrounding city and mountains. As the five stars indicate, I highly recommend Dr. Cohen!

Pam F.

Dr. Cohen was the only orthodontist that was able to take me on as a new patient during the Covid shutdown in 2020. She was caring, informational, responsive, and honest with the length of time for my treatment. I knew I could trust her.
Once I began, I would have visits with her and her team monthly. The office is in Beverly Hills with a beautiful view of LA. The team was always positive and pleasant. Dr. Cohen always talked things through with me. She took her work very seriously. After 18 months, I completed my treatment, and I couldn't be happier with my smile. Thank you to Dr. Cohen and her team for an awesome experience at Lux Orthodontics.

Chris M.

My daughter received treatment from Dr Cohen & her awesome team over several years starting from wearing expanders to Invisalign sets. I cannot recommend this practice enough. Dr Cohen's skills are top notch but what makes this practice stand out is how seamlessly this practice is run. It has a very boutique practice feel - small, peaceful & welcoming. We never felt rushed, confused or marketed to. Every question we had was carefully explained and we really felt confident that we were receiving the very best care at all times. I highly recommend this practice for your orthodontics needs.

Yurie H.

Dr. Erin Cohen and her staff are so welcoming, professional., and friendly! I have been using Dr. Cohen's services for over ten years for both of my daughters as well as myself! She is an extremely skilled orthodontist who loves her work and never pushes services that are not necessary! She is able to accommodate and understand each patient as a whole! I definitely recommend using Lux!!!!!!

Elizabeth T.

Lux Orthodontics and Dr. Erin Cohen are the best of the best. Dr. Cohen is knowledgeable, straightforward, and compassionate. She made me and my kids feel completely at ease the moment we walked into her office. By the end of our first consultation, she already had a good read on their individual personalities and customized her strategy based on what she thought would suit each one best. She gave us options on treatment plans, explained everything patiently and thoroughly, and answered all our questions. Both kids went from a deep fear of “the orthodontist” to happily anticipating visits with Dr. Cohen. We love Lux Orthodontics and couldn’t be happier with our brand new smiles.

Jenny F.

Dr Cohen and her staff are outstanding!! The staff is attentive, friendly, and competent- you don’t find that too often. Dr Cohen is knowledgeable and made my teenage son feel at ease. He was nervous for the Invisalign process but once Dr Cohen explained everything and set realistic expectations, he was relieved and has been doing great from the start of his treatment. Her follow through and accessibility when questions arise are also unmatched. We adore Dr Cohen and her office. I highly recommend her for adult and children!!!

Jeanine D C.

Dr Erin Cohen and her team are the best! They are professional, welcoming and at the top of their game. They demonstrated continued dedication to our care despite the pandemic . Dr Cohen strikes the perfect balance of science and artistry. Her kindness and enthusiasm are added bonus. My daughters and I have been with her practice close to ten years and can’t imagine being anywhere else!

M. Byron T.

I waited until I was 50 years old to get orthodontics done simply because I did not want to wear braces. I was advised to check out Dr. Erin Cohen and it was the best move of my life. She walked me through the entire process and I agreed to go with her as my Dr. Professional is the only word that describes her. Her smile welcomed me every time I went in for my visit and she was very patient and went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and happy. I am just not happy that there are only 5 stars here because Dr. Erin Cohen deserves pages of them for how happy she has made me with the way my teeth are.

John M.

After such a difficult year what an incredible feeling to finally have a wonderful experience at Lux Orthodontics! Dr. Cohen and her amazing staff treated me with so much kindness, were prompt and on time and took all safety precautions necessary during these times. I will be starting my boys and me ASAP! This was the feel good feeling I needed! Thank you Dr. Cohen! I will be referring all my friends here!!!

Being Caroline

The LUX team are some of the best orthodontic team you could ask for. Extremely friendly and open with their patients. I've been a patient of Erin for a few years now and have only seen my dental health and confidence improve tenfold through her guidance and recommendations on the orthodontics side and in her work connecting with my dentist and others.

And their new office is the cutest. Highly recommend for anyone considering Invisalign or looking for general consultation.
