Invisalign Aligners For Teeth Hallandale Beach
Invisalign has changed the way we do orthodontics at our Hallandale Beach location. These clear, removable aligners are a great way to straighten your teeth without the metal braces. We have used this technology to give many patients at Rozman Orthodontics beautiful new smiles.
The first step to get Invisalign aligners is to get your teeth and bite checked out. We take exact 3D pictures of your mouth by scanning it with a computer. With this detailed mapping we can plan out every move your teeth will make during treatment. The computer program shows you exactly what your smile will look like after treatment so you know what to expect.
Custom fabrication ensures each aligner fits your teeth perfectly. The smooth, clear plastic feels great against your gums and cheeks. Invisalign aligners don’t have metal brackets and wires like traditional braces so they don’t hurt or cut your mouth. Most people get used to wearing them within a few days of starting treatment.
How well you follow your wearing schedule affects how well your treatment works. We recommend you wear aligners for at least 22 hours a day and only take them off to eat and clean your mouth. This constant pressure slowly moves your teeth into place. You have to do a certain movement with each aligner before you can move on to the next one.
Aligners that can be taken off make life easier than braces that can’t. You don’t have to worry about eating your favorite meals and hurting your braces. Just take out the aligners before you eat and put them back in when you’re done. This eliminates the dietary restrictions that come with most orthodontic treatments.
While you’re getting Invisalign, it’s still easy to keep your mouth clean. When you take off the aligners, you can clean and floss your teeth like normal. We recommend washing the aligners with warm water and a soft toothbrush to keep them clean and fresh. People like it since it stays undetectable and doesn’t let bacteria build up if you take care of it properly. In professional environments, it’s great because Invisalign aligners are undetectable. People who wear braces or other visible orthodontic devices can go to work, deliver presentations and hang out with friends without feeling embarrassed. A lot of our adult patients prefer that they can get their teeth straightened without harming their self-esteem or professional image.
How long your treatment takes depends on how complex your case is. Simple spacing issues might take 6 to 12 months to fix but more complex cases could take up to 2 years. We can check on your progress and make sure your teeth are moving as intended by seeing you every 6 to 8 weeks. These appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than regular orthodontic visits.
You can still play sports while wearing Invisalign aligners. When you play sports or work out the smooth plastic won’t hurt your mouth. We do recommend you use a mouthguard instead of your aligners when you play contact sports though. People who are active or enjoy sports as students like Invisalign a lot because it’s very flexible.
Invisalign works for people of all ages which is one of the reasons why it’s so good. Teenagers like that they can’t be seen and can be taken out easily. Adult patients like that it doesn’t affect their daily life or work very much. But for the treatment to work you have to be grown up and willing to wear the aligners as advised.
In Hallandale Beach many families can afford Invisalign treatment because it’s not too expensive. Most dental insurance companies now consider Invisalign as a true orthodontic treatment and pay for it the same way they do for traditional braces. Flexible payment plans can help families pay for their smile makeover over time.
