Invisalign is an innovative and modern approach to straightening teeth, offering an alternative to traditional metal braces. This revolutionary treatment utilizes a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. These aligners are designed using 3D computer imaging technology, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. Invisalign is an ideal solution for both adults and teenagers looking to enhance their smile without the aesthetic and physical discomfort associated with metal braces. It’s a versatile treatment, capable of correcting a wide range of dental issues such as crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
The Invisalign process is straightforward and begins with a consultation at Horizon Dental Care in Pembroke Pines, Miramar, or Sunrise, FL, where a personalized treatment plan is created for you.
The first step in your Invisalign journey is an initial consultation with our experienced dental team at Horizon Dental Care. During this visit, we will evaluate your dental health, discuss your smile goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option for you. We'll also answer any questions you may have about the process, costs, and expected results. If Invisalign is deemed suitable, we'll take digital scans of your teeth to create your custom aligners.
Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step involves the application of the chosen orthodontic appliance. If braces are chosen, brackets will be bonded to your teeth and wires threaded through. If Invisalign is chosen, custom-made clear aligners will be created from a digital scan of your teeth. These aligners are worn over the teeth and are nearly invisible. Regardless of the appliance, the goal is the same: to apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift your teeth into alignment.
Upon receiving your custom aligners, you'll start wearing them for about 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. Approximately every two weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners, which will continue the gradual process of shifting your teeth into their correct positions. Regular check-ups will be scheduled at our office to monitor your progress.
Invisalign offers several benefits over traditional braces, making it a popular choice for many patients seeking orthodontic treatment.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Invisalign’s clear aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet way to straighten your teeth. This is a significant advantage for adults and teens who are conscious about their appearance and prefer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment. With Invisalign, you can smile confidently throughout the treatment process, knowing that most people won’t even realize you’re wearing aligners.
Comfortable and Convenient
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, flexible plastic, making them more comfortable than traditional metal braces which can cause irritation. The aligners are also removable, allowing you to eat and drink whatever you like without worrying about food getting stuck. This removability also simplifies oral hygiene as you can brush and floss your teeth normally.
Predictable and Timely Results
With Invisalign, you’ll be able to see a digital representation of how your teeth will shift during treatment, giving you a glimpse of your future smile even before you start. The treatment time for Invisalign is typically shorter than traditional braces, with most patients achieving their desired results within 12 to 18 months. Regular dental visits ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned, and adjustments can be made as necessary to ensure optimal results.
