Choosing an Invisalign provider matters. Here is what Premier Preferred Provider status means — and why Torrance patients trust Dr. Marise Sheth with their smiles.
If you have been researching Invisalign in Torrance, you have probably noticed that many dentists offer clear aligners. So what is the difference between providers — and why does it matter?
At Hillside Dentistry & Orthodontics, Dr. Marise Sheth holds Invisalign Premier Preferred Provider status, a designation earned through advanced training, consistent case volume, and proven treatment outcomes. For patients in Torrance and the South Bay, that experience translates into smarter treatment plans and more predictable results.
Not all Invisalign providers are the same
Invisalign ranks its provider network into tiers based on experience and the number of cases successfully completed. A general dentist who treats a handful of aligner cases per year is in a different category than a provider who has treated hundreds.
When you choose a Premier Preferred Provider, you are choosing a dentist who:
- Has completed extensive Invisalign-specific training
- Treats a high volume of clear aligner cases annually
- Meets Invisalign's standards for treatment quality and patient outcomes
- Can handle a wider range of cases — from minor cosmetic shifts to more complex bite corrections
Experience matters with orthodontics. Small adjustments in treatment planning can mean the difference between finishing on time and needing extra aligners — or between a beautiful result and a compromised one.
What is an Invisalign Premier Preferred Provider?
Invisalign Premier Preferred Provider is one of the highest tiers in Invisalign's provider recognition program. It is not a pay-to-play badge — it reflects real clinical experience.
Dr. Marise Sheth earned this status through years of successful Invisalign treatment for adults and teens across the South Bay. As a USC-trained dentist and practice owner since 2020, she combines technical skill with a zero-pressure philosophy: you get the information you need to make a confident decision on your own timeline.
"Invisalign is not one-size-fits-all. Every smile is different, and experience helps me design a plan that actually works for your life — not just your teeth."
— Dr. Marise Sheth, DDS
Benefits of choosing a Premier Preferred Provider
- More predictable outcomes — experienced providers anticipate challenges before they arise
- Efficient treatment plans — fewer unnecessary refinements and course corrections
- Confidence with complex cases — not every smile is a simple cosmetic shift
- Better patient education — you understand what to expect at every stage
- Access to the full Invisalign ecosystem — including Invisalign Teen for younger patients
What to expect at your Invisalign consultation
Your first visit is about understanding your smile — not committing to treatment on the spot.
- Comprehensive exam — Dr. Sheth evaluates your teeth, bite, and gum health
- Digital 3D scan — no messy impressions; a precise map of your current smile
- Treatment preview — see a simulation of how your teeth could move over time
- Personalized timeline — most cases take 6 to 18 months depending on complexity
- Cost and payment options — we discuss Invisalign cost in Torrance, insurance benefits, and flexible payment plans
There is never pressure to start immediately. Dr. Sheth's approach is information first — your decision, your timeline.
Invisalign options at Hillside Dentistry
We offer clear aligner treatment for:
- Adults — professionals, parents, and anyone who wants a discreet option
- Teens — Invisalign Teen with replacement aligners built in for active lifestyles

Not sure if Invisalign is right for you? Dr. Sheth will tell you honestly. Some cases are better served by traditional braces or 6-Month Smile — and we offer those too, under one roof.
How Invisalign treatment works
Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into position. You wear each set for about one to two weeks, then switch to the next set in the series.
Because aligners are removable, you can eat what you love and brush normally. Most people will not even notice you are wearing them — which is why Invisalign is so popular with working professionals across Torrance and the South Bay.
Treatment requires consistency: aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for the best results. Dr. Sheth monitors your progress at regular check-ins and adjusts the plan as needed.
Cost and insurance
Invisalign cost depends on your specific case — how much movement your teeth need and how long treatment takes. Rather than quoting a one-size-fits-all number, Dr. Sheth provides a personalized quote at your consultation.
- Most PPO dental plans with orthodontic benefits can be applied to Invisalign
- We accept CareCredit and offer flexible payment plans
- HSA and FSA funds can typically be used toward treatment

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Premier Preferred and a regular Invisalign provider? Premier Preferred Providers have completed significantly more Invisalign cases and met higher standards for treatment quality. That experience benefits you directly in treatment planning and outcomes.
How long does Invisalign take? Most treatments take 6 to 18 months. Simple cosmetic cases may finish faster; comprehensive bite corrections take longer. Dr. Sheth maps your timeline at your consultation.
Is Invisalign only for teenagers? Not at all. A large percentage of our Invisalign patients are adults — many in their 30s, 40s, and beyond who want a straighter smile without metal braces.
Does dental insurance cover Invisalign? Many PPO plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to Invisalign. We verify your coverage before treatment begins. See our PPO dental insurance guide for more information.
