Invisalign® in Florida

What Can You Tell Me About Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment consists of a series of custom-fitted plastic aligner trays that are placed over the teeth. These trays are invisible, making them a popular option for patients who don’t want their orthodontic treatment to be visible to the naked eye. Invisalign works just like braces, in that they slowly move your teeth into the proper position over a period of time. When you pursue treatment with Invisalign, you will be given a new set of aligners every two weeks or so. Invisalign is used to address a number of mild to moderate orthodontic issues. If you are interested in receiving orthodontic treatment with Invisalign in Florida, give our office a call.

How Much Will My Bill for Invisalign Cost?

Invisalign cost is a common concern for many of our patients. In most instances, you will find that Invisalign costs about the same as traditional metal braces. Our team of experienced dentists will give you an estimate of your final Invisalign cost that will be determined by the complexity of your case. If you are in need of an extensive amount of correction, the treatment process will take longer and therefore cost more money. If you have dental insurance, you should check with your provider to see how much Invisalign insurance coverage you have under your policy. Our practice also offers flexible payment options and financing options that can help you to afford your orthodontic treatment. Get in touch with us to learn more.

How Long Does Treatment with Invisalign Take?

The length of time that you will need to undergo your treatment process with Invisalign depends on how complex your orthodontic issues are. If your teeth need to be extensively straightened, rotated or re-positioned, the process will naturally take longer. Your dentist will develop a plan to shift your teeth over a period of months. In most cases, treatment with Invisalign will take anywhere between ten months and two years to complete. Treatment for adults generally takes around one year. Once your treatment has been completed, your dentist may recommend that you wear Invisalign retainers so that your results are maintained.

Where Can I Find Invisalign Dentists?

To receive Invisalign, you will need to see an orthodontist or a general dentist who has undergone Invisalign training. Our experienced and highly qualified Invisalign dentists are able to utilize this aligner-tray treatment system so that you can have the smile that you’ve always dreamed of.

Invisalign vs Braces: Which Should I Choose?

While appearance is always a consideration when choosing between invisible aligner trays and traditional metal braces, it is even more important that you consider whether or not a treatment method is effective for you. Invisalign works best for mild to moderate orthodontic issues and can be just as effective as adult braces would be in addressing your needs. If you have minor crowding, spacing, malocclusion or crooked teeth, Invisalign could work well for you. In addition to being nearly invisible, Invisalign also offers you access to your teeth so that you can ensure that they are kept properly cleaned during the treatment process. Since aligner trays are taken out while you are eating and before you brush or floss, it is much easier to keep your oral hygiene on track than it is when you wear traditional braces. However, if you have serious orthodontic problems, traditional braces may be the best and most effective treatment option for you. Once your dentist has discussed the issue of Invisalign vs braces with you, you will be able to make a better decision as to what the right course of action is for you.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Treatment?

Who Can Get Invisalign?

Invisalign in Florida is a good treatment method for adults and teenagers. Younger children are generally not good candidates for Invisalign, as their needs are complex due to the fact that their mouths are still developing. If you have severe orthodontic issues, you probably will not be a good candidate for this treatment method. To discover whether or not Invisalign is right for you, contact our office to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.

How Will Invisalign Affect My Lifestyle?

• Since you take your trays out when you eat, you won’t have any restrictions on foods or beverages.
• You should not chew gum when your aligners are in, as gum can stick to the plastic.
• If you smoke or chew tobacco, you should know that the tobacco could stain your trays.

How Do I Take Care of My Aligner Trays?

• When cleaning your trays, make sure you use the manufacturer’s cleaning system. We have this system available at our practice.
• Alternatively, you can brush and rinse your trays in cold or lukewarm water. Do not use hot water to clean your aligners.
• If your tray becomes damaged in some way, visit our office for a replacement at once.
