For ultimate camouflage, tray or aligner systems render a modern straightening method. Designed with sophisticated software and 3D digital models of your teeth, a series of clear plastic trays produce the straightening results. Medical-grade plastic without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently moves your teeth into place. Gradual pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less discomfort and shortened treatment times, in many cases. Your provider dispenses several sets of aligners at a time, allowing you to change to a new one at home every two weeks.
Removable trays can be set aside for short periods allowing normal eating and cleaning. Enjoying an apple without the intrusion of brackets and wires works well for many patients. And the smooth plastic surface offers a comfort level to the tongue and cheeks unequaled by other forms of straightening.
A system that can be taken out and set aside may be forgotten. Committing to consistent wear, at least 22 hours each day, helps ensure the success of your treatment. While clear aligners work extremely well for adults, a responsible teen can be a candidate too. And adults of every age have discovered the perks of straight teeth with aligners.
While aligner treatment works for 90% of straightening cases, some tooth movements may not be possible. Or you may simply prefer the security of fixed braces. More choices than ever exist for many procedures in dentistry allowing customized care for your situation. Dr. Herber can help you discover the path to a straighter smile.
You may discuss adding whitening to your plan, removing years of yellow stain accumulation. In some cases, the beauty of porcelain lifts a straight smile to another level or may even offer an alternative to orthodontics. And you may be pleasantly surprised to find a flexible payment option or undiscovered insurance benefits that make treatment closer than you think.

Excellent dentist! I've always been nervous about dental work but Dr. Herber has such a calm demeanor. The staff are all very friendly as well! He is also very gentle and I didn't even feel the needle when he numbed me for a crown. I highly recommend this dentist!

Just the most honest pain-free one on one dentist I have ever had the pleasure to have work on my gums. LoL ! Dr. Erich Herber has his a really adorable wife working in the office with him.Which I might add she Loves doing. The other day I had an appointment I walk in she is taking care of one of a patients 3 month old baby and working. It was Priceless. Thats the type of Wonderful People they are. Also you can walk in feeling like you got ranover by a horse and they will see the you shining somewhere under the mess LoL ! And they do not rip you off! They also have a top notch assistant that works with them and is right in harmony with Dr.Herber when he is working o n your teeth. I could go on for pages. But I think you got the point.

We recently moved to Murrieta and I needed to have my teeth scanned as follow-up to Invisalign treatment with my former orthodontist in Kona. I didn't want to have to jump on a plane, and Dr. Herber has graciously spared me the trip twice, as I needed a second scan. He and his assistant Elly are very warm, helpful, and friendly. An added bonus is you get to watch a slide show of beautiful photos Dr. Herber has taken while you sit in the chair!

Dr. Herber is a top-notch dentist, who I'm so glad I found several years ago. He runs a small, one-dentist practice where he provides excellent and very personalized care (even doing dental cleanings himself). He is honest and straight forward, and does not try to push extra non-necessary services on you. He has a very gentle demeanor, and both he and his staff (including wife, Elly) are professional, courteous, and super friendly. It's always a pleasure going to see Dr. Herber, as I feel like I'm getting great dental care from someone who really cares.

What a pleasant experience at Dr Herber's dental office! Everyone is kind and attentive. He sees one patient at a time, so you get undivided attention. I was so happy to find someone that is knowledgeable about TMJ and how to treat it! I have seen amazing results so far! Dr Herber's own experience with TMJ increases his empathy of my pain and everything I have been dealing with in having this disorder. I am so glad I found him!

I'm in the early stages of my treatment for TMD, but there are already major improvements. My pain level is much lower and I'm excited about the future. The first visit was very informative, and I highly recommend to anyone considering a visit.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Herber. When I found Dr. Herber, I was suffering from TMJ symptoms. They started small and gradually got worse over time. Jaw popping, locking, not being able.to bite down , or eat. The pain was interfering with my quality of life. No patience for my kids, not eating, not wanting to see people or hangout, couldn't sleep (pain was worse at night). Once I found Dr. Herber online, read the reviews myself, I knew I had to call. They were most accommodating from the beginning. They scheduled my consultation that same day, which was their day off! After meeting and having my first consultation, I knew I was the right place and Dr. Herber was going to be able to help me. I ordered my Orthotic as soon as I could and started my therapy . Within a few hours I notcied a difference! I could sleep, i could eat, smile, no more tugging/fish hook feeling on my jaw. I am currently 4.5 months into my therapy, and it gets better with time. Still have some issues but no where like it was when I met him. With more time I am confident I will be even better. Grateful to Dr.Herber for helping me through this TMJ nightmare. I would highly recommend anyone living with this horrible, draining pain to call their office immediately! Dalyna W.
