At our office we want to provide advanced orthodontic solutions that make patients love their smiles. People who come to us for Invisalign clear braces in Miramar want a way to straighten their teeth that doesn’t involve the obvious look and limitations of traditional metal braces. We’ve been doing Invisalign for a long time and we’re still amazed at how well it works for our patients and how it changes their lives.
When you come to Specialty Smiles to talk about Invisalign, the first thing we do is talk about your goals and concerns. We want to know what parts of your smile you want to change and what treatment options are most important to you. Some patients have gaps between their teeth, others have teeth too close together or a bite that hurts their comfort and dental health. We look at your teeth and decide if Invisalign clear braces are the best option for you. This works great for many common orthodontic problems but we’re always honest about whether it’s the best option for you or if another would be better.
The first step in the process is using modern technology. We use advanced scanners to make a 3D picture of your teeth. This is quick, easy and way more pleasant than the old impressions with the nasty goo. Using this digital model we create a full treatment plan that shows you exactly how your teeth will move at each stage of the process. One of the things our patients love the most is that they can see a virtual preview of their final results before we even start. This way you can see what to expect and get excited for the journey ahead. InBrace® aligns teeth using hidden braces placed on the inside surfaces of the teeth. People choose InBrace® for its ability to deliver results without visible brackets.
Based on that digital blueprint, your custom clear aligners are made just for your mouth. Each set of aligners is made to move your teeth a specific distance. You will wear each set for 2 weeks before moving on to the next one in the sequence. The aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic that fits snugly over your teeth and is hard to see when you wear them. We usually give you many sets at once so you don’t have to come in as often as you would with regular braces. We do, however, recommend you to visit us.
We at Specialty Smiles know that life is a key factor in choosing orthodontic treatment. You may take your favorite meals, but you may also take your meals out when you eat or drink anything other than water because they are detachable. We do, however, set up regular check-ins every few weeks to keep an eye on your progress and make sure everything is going as planned.
We at Specialty Smiles know that your life is a key factor in choosing orthodontic treatment. You may take the aligners out when you eat or drink anything other than water because they are removable. This way you can eat all of your favorite meals without worrying about breaking them or having anything trapped. You also take the aligners off when you brush and floss, which makes it much easier to keep your teeth clean than with regular braces. We do stress that the aligners must be worn for at least twenty to twenty-two hours a day to work, but being able to take them off for meals and cleaning makes life a lot easier. Types of Braces include metal, ceramic, self-ligating, and lingual options tailored to different needs. Exploring the various Types of Braces helps patients choose the best fit for their lifestyle.
Another big advantage of Invisalign clear braces in Miramar is that they are very discreet. Most folks won’t even know you’re wearing them unless you tell them. This has been very helpful for our adult patients who work in professional environments and for teens who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their braces. You can smile naturally without feeling self-conscious when you’re giving a presentation at work, going to a wedding or taking family photos.
The length of treatment varies from person to person but most people finish their treatment in six to eighteen months. We’ll give you a specific timeline during your consultation. We’ll also tell you how much it will cost and help you look into payment plans and insurance that may help make treatment more affordable. We’d love to talk to you about if Invisalign is right for you if you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth.
