Straighten your teeth discreetly with clear aligners — no metal wires, no brackets, and no disruption to your everyday life.
An Invisalign® dentist can help patients in Aventura and the surrounding area correct crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners made from a patented thermoplastic material called SmartTrack® that fits snugly over the teeth. Each aligner in the series encourages the teeth into a slightly different position, creating a steady and gentle progression toward alignment.
Patients who are considering Invisalign treatment must first attend a consultation at Flossy Smiles Dental Implants & Aesthetics to have their smile evaluated and to discuss their treatment goals. During this appointment, our team will map out a customized digital treatment plan that shows each step of the smile transformation. Once the patient approves the plan, we take digital scans, X-rays, and photographs of the teeth and mouth to create an accurate model for the Invisalign laboratory.
After we submit the digital scans and treatment notes to the Invisalign factory, the process of creating custom aligner trays typically takes approximately four weeks. The factory determines the optimal number of trays needed to complete the treatment and sends the specifications back to our office for review. Our team will make any necessary modifications before the trays go into production.
Once the trays are finalized, lab technicians trim each one individually to match the patient's gumline for a precise and comfortable fit. Although patients must wait before beginning treatment, this preparation ensures that every aligner performs as intended throughout the correction process.
One of the most significant benefits of Invisalign is its clear, nearly invisible appearance, which allows patients to undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to their smile. The aligners are removable, meaning patients can eat and drink without restrictions and can clean their teeth without navigating around metal wires or brackets. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean thoroughly, which supports improved oral hygiene and long-term dental health.
In most cases, adults make the best candidates for Invisalign, as they have fully developed teeth and jaw bones. Invisalign is most effective for patients with mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Patients with more severe misalignments or significant gaps may benefit from consulting with our team about alternative treatment options.
Patients who are interested in Invisalign treatment should take time to research and identify the right Invisalign dentist before beginning the process. The quality of treatment results depends significantly on the skill and experience of the provider. Prospective patients should review the dentist's education, certifications, and training to confirm they have the appropriate qualifications.
It is also helpful to examine before and after photos and patient reviews to determine whether the provider's results align with individual orthodontic goals. During the initial consultation, patients should feel comfortable asking questions about the treatment process, expected timeline, and any concerns they may have. At Flossy Smiles Dental Implants & Aesthetics, our team works closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and smile goals.
Q. How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of treatment depends on the complexity of each patient's case. Minor misalignments typically resolve more quickly, while more significant corrections require additional time. Our team at Flossy Smiles can provide a more accurate estimate during the initial consultation.
Q. Do Invisalign aligners cause discomfort?
Patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during the first few days of wearing each new aligner. This sensation is a normal indication that the aligners are actively shifting the teeth. The discomfort typically subsides as the teeth adjust to each new position.
Q. How should patients clean their aligners?
Patients can clean their aligners using the official Invisalign cleaning system or by gently brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear liquid soap. It is important to avoid hot water, as heat can warp the plastic material. Daily soaking for 15 to 30 minutes is also recommended to keep the aligners fresh and clear.
Q. Will patients need to wear a retainer after treatment?
After completing Invisalign treatment, patients will need to wear a retainer to prevent the teeth from gradually shifting back to their previous positions. Our team can discuss retainer options and expectations with patients once their treatment is complete.
Q. Is Invisalign only for cosmetic purposes?
While many patients pursue Invisalign for aesthetic reasons, straighter teeth also support better oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean thoroughly, which reduces the buildup of debris and bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease.
