Aligners Hallandale Beach

Aligners have changed orthodontic treatment by giving patients a solution to fix their teeth that is almost invisible and not like traditional metal braces. At Rozman Orthodontics we have seen how clear aligners have changed the orthodontic experience for many patients in Hallandale Beach. These plastic trays are made just for you and slowly move your teeth into place without anyone noticing.

Years of research and development in orthodontic science have gone into the technology behind aligners. Advanced computer modeling and 3D printing technology are used to make each pair of aligners perfect. The first step in this process is to take digital impressions of your teeth. These impressions are then used to create a full treatment plan that shows how each tooth will move step by step. The end result is a series of aligners that you wear one after the other to get the smile you want.

One of the best things about aligner treatment is that the gadgets can be removed. Aligners are different from regular braces because you can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss. You can maintain your normal oral hygiene habits without having to deal with the problems that come with cleaning around brackets and wires because of this flexibility. This is especially helpful for many patients during important social or work events.

Patients who use aligners need to be very committed and responsible during the treatment process. To be successful you need to wear the aligners for at least twenty-two hours a day and only take them off to eat and to clean your teeth. People usually wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before moving on to the next set. This slow movement makes sure the teeth move comfortably while still making progress towards treatment goals.

Compared to traditional orthodontic appliances, aligners are way more comfortable. The smooth plastic material gets rid of the harsh edges and metal parts that can bother people wearing regular braces. When you switch to a new set of aligners you will only feel a little pressure. This means the treatment is working. This pressure usually goes away after a day or two as your teeth get used to their new position.Treatment time with aligners varies a lot depending on how complex each case is and how well the patient follows the guidelines. Some alignment problems can be fixed in as little as six to twelve months, others that are more complex may need treatment for eighteen to twenty-four months. Because aligner treatment is so predictable we can give you a realistic time frame during the first consultation.

The cost of aligner treatment is usually more because of the advanced technology and custom manufacturing that goes into each set of appliances. Aligners are more expensive than regular braces but many patients feel it’s worth it because of how easy they are to use and how good they look. Popular systems like Invisalign have entire treatment plans that guarantee consistent and accurate results for qualified candidates.

Teenagers and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic problems are usually the best candidates for aligner treatment. If you have a complex bite problem or a lot of crowding you may need traditional braces or a combination of treatments. We evaluate each patient to see if aligners are the best treatment for them. This thorough evaluation ensures each patient gets the best care for their situation.

To keep your aligners in good shape you need to clean them and wear them as directed. Cleaning your aligners daily with specific cleaners or mild soap can help keep them from smelling bad and changing color. Patients also need to keep their mouths clean because food and bacteria can get stuck between the aligners and teeth if they don’t clean them properly.

We at Rozman Orthodontics have seen that aligner therapy can work well for the right cases in Hallandale Beach. Good treatment planning, selecting the right cases and getting patients to follow through are all important for success. We work with each patient to make sure they know what they need to do and feel good about reaching their orthodontic goals with aligner therapy.
