Getting your teeth straightened is one of those choices that sticks with you the more you think about it. Eventually you just want to stop worrying about it and get on with it. When you finally get to that point, your main priority should be finding a treatment that works for you and gives you a bit of a confidence boost. We’re going to give you a no-nonsense look at Invisalign in Miramar, because if you’ve been toying with the idea, we want to lay out the facts for you. We’ll explain what the process is all about and why so many people are opting for it to get a straighter, healthier smile. InBrace® offers a hidden, behind-the-teeth alternative that straightens your smile discreetly and efficiently. This advanced technology moves your teeth naturally without the need for visible braces.
Invisalign works by using a set of clear, custom-made aligners that slowly nudge your teeth into better positions over time. Each one is made just for your mouth and puts gentle pressure on your teeth to move them a little bit at a time. As you go through the sequence, each tiny movement builds on the last one until your teeth are where they’re supposed to be. The aligners are made of a smooth, clear plastic that fits snugly against your teeth and is virtually undetectable when you’re wearing them. You can forget about feeling self-conscious about having a mouth full of metal, because most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing treatment. We offer a range of Types of Braces to suit every preference, from traditional metal to advanced clear options. Our orthodontic specialists will help you choose the ideal treatment for your smile goals.
One of the things that puts a lot of people off with traditional orthodontic treatment is the hassle of having to change your eating and drinking habits, but with Invisalign you can eat and drink as normal with no special diets or restrictions. You can also take them out whenever you want to brush and floss, which is a big plus when it comes to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. And because they’re clear and pretty hard to spot, you can get treatment without anyone in your normal life finding out, which is a big plus for adults who don’t want to explain it to their colleagues, friends or family.
At Specialty Smiles in Miramar we start with a full consultation where we take the time to get to know you, your teeth and what you’re hoping to achieve. Before we even start talking about treatment plans, we take thorough digital scans to get a full picture of your mouth and then put together a personalized plan that shows exactly how your teeth will move from start to finish. This takes a lot of the uncertainty out of starting a new treatment and helps you feel more in control and a lot less nervous about the whole process.
As the technology behind Invisalign improves, the types of problems it can sort out keeps growing. This treatment can help with anything from crowding and spacing to overbites, underbites and crossbites, as long as your case is properly diagnosed and the plan is made with just the right balance of precision and care. In some cases we might need to add a few small tooth-colored attachments to help the aligners do their job a bit more effectively, or we might use some elastics to fix your bite. These are both pretty standard additions and don’t change the fact that the treatment is still pretty discreet.
Most people finish active treatment in between 12 and 18 months, depending on how complicated their case is. The one thing that’s really crucial for keeping things on track and making sure you get the results you want is to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
We always do a full breakdown of costs and financing options so there are never any surprises down the line. Our team in Miramar would love to chat with you and get you started on the first step towards a straighter, healthier smile.
