Invisalign has helped millions of people close the gap between the smile they have and the smile they want, using clear, BPA-free resin aligners that are nearly invisible. For patients in Tustin and across Orange County, the path to a straighter smile does not have to mean years of metal brackets or putting your life on pause. At LALUME Dental Studio in Newport Beach, Dr. Shahira Saad brings a thoughtful, minimally invasive approach to every Invisalign consultation. Our practice was designed to feel like a retreat because we believe every appointment should be something you actually look forward to.
We believe great orthodontic care starts long before the first aligner is placed.
Our average Invisalign treatment takes just 4 to 6 months, and we never charge more for faster outcomes. Quick treatment times are a benefit of choosing us.
Dr. Saad's goal is always to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible while helping you reach your smile goals — the same philosophy she brings to every service we offer.
From private treatment rooms to ceiling TVs and aromatherapy, LALUME was designed to make dentistry feel different. Your comfort is part of the treatment.
Invisalign uses a series of custom-fitted, BPA-free resin aligners to gradually and gently guide your teeth into alignment. Each set of aligners is created from digital scans; no traditional putty needed. You wear each set for a designated period before progressing to the next, slowly shifting your teeth toward the desired position.
Research published in a 2025 scoping review in the NIH’s National Library of Medicine confirms that clear aligner therapy has demonstrated measurable effectiveness in correcting a range of bite concerns in adult patients, with treatment outcomes closely linked to precision planning and provider experience.
Invisalign may be a strong fit for patients dealing with several common alignment concerns. These include:
A consultation with Dr. Saad is the best way to know whether Invisalign is the right path for your specific situation. Our cosmetic dentistry services cover a full range of options, and we will always recommend what genuinely serves your long-term oral health.
We offer two Invisalign packages, with pricing ranging from $5,000 to $6,000 depending on the complexity of your case. We accept most PPO insurance plans, though orthodontic coverage varies by policy. For patients who want to manage costs over time, we offer 0% financing for up to 12 months. Financing is billed annually rather than in monthly installments.
Our 4 to 6-month average treatment timeline means most patients reach their goal faster than they expect. If you are exploring both, a smile design consultation is the ideal starting point. Dr. Saad takes a facially driven approach to smile design, meaning every recommendation is made with your full facial structure and long-term aesthetics in mind — not just the teeth in isolation.
LALUME is proud to welcome Dr. Ara Bakian, a periodontist who visits our practice monthly to perform a range of specialty procedures. Dr. Bakian holds a DDS from USC and completed his periodontics residency at Tufts University. His monthly presence at LALUME means our patients have access to a broader scope of care under one roof.
Procedures available through Dr. Bakian include:
This expanded care model means patients receiving Invisalign treatment who also need periodontal support do not have to seek a separate provider. Everything can be coordinated seamlessly within our practice.
We hear great questions from patients every day. Here are some of the most common ones we receive about Invisalign at LALUME.
Our average Invisalign treatment takes 4 to 6 months. Some cases may be shorter or longer depending on the complexity of your alignment concerns, which Dr. Saad will discuss with you at your consultation.
Invisalign is widely considered to be virtually painless. Some patients notice mild pressure or sensitivity when transitioning to a new set of aligners, which is normal and typically brief.
For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth.
Yes. During your consultation, Dr. Saad will walk you through a digital treatment plan so you can see a projected outcome before committing to anything.
We accept most PPO insurance plans, and some policies may include a partial orthodontic benefit. Our team is happy to help you understand your coverage before you begin. We also offer Cherry Financing and CareCredit to help make treatment accessible.
Invisalign moves your teeth into a new position, but retention is essential to keeping them there long-term. Dr. Saad will discuss a retainer plan at the conclusion of your treatment.
