Many people have been known to spend ages mulling over taking that first step to get their teeth straightened, before they finally make a move. If you’re thinking of getting Invisalign, chances are you already know what it is, but you’re still not entirely sure what to expect when it comes to getting the show on the road. That’s pretty much where most people end up and we actually really enjoy helping people through that uncertainty when they come to us. Retainers help maintain your beautiful new smile by keeping teeth aligned after orthodontic treatment. Wearing retainers as recommended ensures your results remain consistent and long-lasting.
The road to getting Invisalign starts off with a consultation, which is basically just a chat. We take a careful gander at your teeth and bite, have a conversation about what you’re looking for and then give you the low down on whether or not Invisalign is up your alley. Not every alignment issue is a perfect match for clear aligners and if we think you might be better off with something else we’ll let you know straight off the bat. We’re not here to sell you on something, we want to offer what’s genuinely right for you. Our treatments for Sleep Apnea help improve breathing during sleep, enhancing overall health and energy. Customized oral appliances offer a comfortable, non-surgical way to reduce snoring and interrupted sleep.
Things get a little more serious once you’ve been told you’re a good fit for Invisalign at Specialty Smiles. Next up we take some super-detailed digital pictures of your teeth. These are then used to whip up a treatment plan that shows exactly how your teeth are going to move during treatment and what the finished result should look like. Patients often really like this part of the process because it lets them get a glimpse of what their smile might look like before they even start treatment. It really helps to put things into perspective and gives everyone a clear idea of what we’re aiming for.
If you’re from Miramar and you’re thinking about getting Invisalign in Miramar, the process is actually a fair bit more straightforward than most people expect. Once your custom-made aligners are ready, we get you in to collect them and go over all the ins and outs of wearing and looking after them. We run through how long a day you should be wearing them, how to keep them clean and what to do if you notice anything out of the ordinary. We want every patient to leave that appointment feeling like a total pro.
Throughout treatment we check in with patients for regular check-in appointments to make sure things are still on track. These meetings are usually pretty short and are just an opportunity for us to take a look at how things are progressing, answer any questions that might have arisen and sort out the next bunch of aligners. We genuinely believe that keeping in regular touch with our patients helps lead to better results and a smoother ride, which is why we make a point to stay in touch.
There’s one thing that’s more important than anything else when it comes to getting good results from Invisalign, wearing those aligners every single day. They have to be in for most hours, say around 20 to 22 hours, and only come out when you eat, drink anything other than water or brush. People who stick to that tend to whizz through treatment and get some really impressive results. We make sure to hammer home that commitment throughout the consultation so that expectations are well and truly set from the get go.
We over at Specialty Smiles are super proud to be serving the Miramar community and love being able to help people take the first step towards a healthier smile, even if that sounds a bit cheesy. If you’ve been wondering what it takes to get Invisalign in Miramar but are finally ready to learn if it’s right for you, we’d love to have a natter and see if we can get things started for you. Just give us a shout and we’ll get planning.
