Is Invisalign Right for You?
You want straight teeth, but you don’t want braces. Enter Invisalign. The only question now is whether this innovative treatment is right for you. At Premier Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale, certified provider Dr. Charmaine Johnson offers consultations to patients who are interested in this cosmetic upgrade and want to know if they’re a qualified Invisalign candidate.
Problems Invisalign Can Correct
Invisalign can correct nearly every alignment problem that traditional metal braces can fix, including:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Open bites
- Crossbites
- Gapped teeth
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
Each patient’s circumstances are different. Your Fort Lauderdale Invisalign provider will conduct a thorough exam and take x-rays and 3D images to get a full picture of your existing alignment and determine whether Invisalign is the best route to get the results you want.
Reasons People Want to Get Invisalign
Invisalign has opened the orthodontic landscape to millions of people who would never have otherwise bothered with aligning their smile. Whether teen or adult, everyone’s reasons for pursuing Invisalign treatment is personal, but everyone reaps the same benefits, including:
One of the biggest reasons people want Invisalign is because it’s discreet. No one ever needs to know you’re wearing the super-thin, super-snug, clear aligners. They don’t draw attention to themselves and remain out of the spotlight if you keep them clean.
What Type of Invisalign Is Right for You?
If your Fort Lauderdale Invisalign provider determines that you’re a good Invisalign candidate, you will discuss which type of treatment is right for you. There are several different methods, including:
Invisalign Full
This is the most common method and aligns both the top and bottom teeth completely. The Full treatment takes about a year to complete but this number can vary depending on the complexity of your case.
Invisalign Lite
Have a few spaces, crooked teeth, or overcrowding that are marring your whole smile? Lite treatment is only about six months and gets the job done.
Invisalign Express
If you relapsed from previous orthodontic treatment (gotta wear that retainer!) or have minor spacing issues, Express can make the adjustments in three to six months.
Invisalign Teen
Designed just for adolescents, these trays make room for teeth that have yet to erupt and are equipped with wear indicators that let your Invisalign provider know the trays are being worn properly.
