Specialist Orthodontic Care for Pasadena

Vivian Lee Orthodontics holds Invisalign Blue Diamond+ status—the highest tier in Invisalign's provider ranking system, achieved by fewer than 1% of providers worldwide. For Pasadena patients, this means our practice has the experience to treat complex cases—severe crowding, bite corrections, and post-orthodontic relapse—with clear aligners that lower-tier providers or general dentists often refer out or default to braces for.

Many of our adult Invisalign patients live in Pasadena or work locally at Caltech, JPL, Huntington Health, or in downtown finance. We offer Saturday hours and same-week appointments to accommodate demanding professional schedules, ensuring your treatment progresses efficiently without disrupting your week.

Same-Day Retainer Fabrication

We use industry-leading iTero Lumina digital scanners and in-house SprintRay 3D printing to fabricate custom retainers directly in our office. If you lose or break a retainer, we provide same-day replacements—a service most general dentists cannot match.

Multigenerational Treatment

We streamline care for busy Pasadena families by treating parents with adult Invisalign alongside their children undergoing Phase 1 early intervention or teen braces, all within a single specialist practice.

Pasadena families who prefer traditional braces — or whose teen's case requires metal — are also welcome. Our board-certified specialists offer self-ligating ceramic and metal braces with the same clinical depth as our Invisalign program. Learn about our braces options →

"From the moment you step into Vivian Lee Orthodontics, you feel the warmth and professionalism in the air. Every visit has been a delight, as Vivian and her attentive staff consistently welcome us with bright smiles—like Jackie’s! Choosing the right team to guide our child through the challenging journey of braces during the preteen years was so important to us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far. Not only are they a group of certified orthodontists in a high-tech, spotless, hygienic clinic with a great music playlist, and Disney on TV, but they also offer an abundance of kindness and support that makes this journey feel much easier for our daughter. It's truly heartwarming how Esmeralda and Erin remember our child’s name and engage in meaningful conversations. Andrew kindly demonstrates how to use the dental tools for her spacer and braces—it's those little touches that make all the difference. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and caring team by our side! We thank Loyal Dental in Duarte for recommending them to us."

Pasadena Invisalign FAQ

Why should I choose a Blue Diamond+ provider for Invisalign in Pasadena?

Blue Diamond+ is the highest tier awarded by Invisalign, recognizing the top 1% of providers worldwide based on experience and case volume. For Pasadena patients, this means our dual ABO board-certified orthodontists have the deep expertise to treat complex cases—such as severe crowding, overbites, and crossbites—with clear aligners, whereas many general dentists or lower-tier providers might refer these cases out or default to traditional metal braces.

Do you offer same-day retainer fabrication?

Yes. Using our in-house SprintRay 3D printing technology and iTero Lumina scanners, we can fabricate custom clear retainers the same day. This is a significant advantage for our Pasadena patients who need immediate replacement of lost or broken retainers to prevent orthodontic relapse.

Are clear aligners effective for adults?

Absolutely. Adult Invisalign is one of our most common treatments, particularly for professionals working in Pasadena who prefer a discreet, removable option. Clear aligners can effectively correct both aesthetic concerns and functional bite issues, and they can be removed for important meetings, meals, or social events.

How far is your office from Pasadena?

Our Arcadia office is conveniently located just 5 miles east of Pasadena. It's typically a 10 to 15-minute drive via the 210 freeway or Colorado Boulevard. We offer ample free parking and Saturday morning appointments to accommodate busy schedules.
