Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to close gaps, ease crowding and improve your bite. At our Tamarac office we check your teeth first, then tell you honestly whether clear aligners or braces will work for you.
Invisalign clear aligners are custom trays you wear most of the day and take out to eat and brush. They work well for mild to moderate crowding, gaps and teeth that shifted after earlier braces. Marked bite problems and large root movements often go better with braces. At your consultation in Tamarac we examine your teeth and bite and tell you which one fits.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system. You receive a series of custom-made trays, and each set moves your teeth a small step toward the planned position. You wear a set for the time your plan says, then switch to the next one.
At Metropolitan Smile Design in Tamarac, the whole sequence is planned from a digital scan of your mouth before the first tray is made. Some teeth get small tooth-colored attachments that give the trays something to grip. They come off when treatment ends.
Why patients choose Invisalign
How long treatment takes depends on how far your teeth need to move. You get that estimate at your consultation, not before.
We check your teeth, gums and bite, take X-rays if needed, and ask what bothers you about your smile.
A digital scan maps your mouth. We plan the full sequence and tell you the expected result, how many sets and how long.
You get your first set, any attachments the plan needs, and a lesson in putting the trays in and taking them out.
You switch to the next set on schedule at home. We check your progress at regular visits and adjust if needed.
When your teeth reach their new position, a retainer keeps them from moving back.
The right choice depends on your teeth, your bite and how steadily you can wear trays.
Crowded or gapped teeth, mild to moderate bite issues, and teeth that moved after earlier braces. Teens and adults both qualify when teeth and gums are healthy.
A large mismatch between the upper and lower teeth, big root movements, severe rotations, or cases that need teeth removed usually go better with braces. Active gum disease is treated before any teeth are moved.
Compare braces and alignersStraightening first gives whitening, bonding or veneers a better base. When a smile makeover is your goal, we plan the aligners as part of it.
The cost depends on your case, how long treatment takes and how much your teeth need to move. After your exam we give you a personalized plan and the full cost before anything starts, so there are no surprises.
We accept most PPO plans and check whether yours includes orthodontic benefits. If you are paying yourself, monthly financing can spread the cost across your treatment.
Wear your trays 20 to 22 hours a day, including while you sleep. Time out of your mouth slows the plan and can lengthen treatment.
Take the trays out for anything but cold water. Brush, then put them back in right after you eat.
Rinse with cold water, clean with a soft brush, and keep the trays in their case, never in a napkin. Hot water can warp them.
Wear your retainer exactly as instructed. Without it, teeth drift back toward where they started.
It depends on your case, the length of treatment and how much your teeth need to move, so we quote it after an exam. You get a personalized plan and the full cost before you start. We accept most PPO plans, and CareCredit, Sunbit, Cherry and Alphaeon offer monthly payments, subject to approval.
It depends on how much movement your teeth need. Some cases are shorter and others take longer. After your exam and digital scan, your plan shows how many sets of trays you will use and how long it should take. Wearing them as directed is one of the biggest factors in finishing on time.
Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, so you take them out to eat and clean your teeth. Braces are fixed to your teeth and work around the clock, which makes them more predictable for some movements. The best option depends on your bite, and we tell you which applies to you.
Wear them 20 to 22 hours a day, including while you sleep. Take them out only to eat, brush and floss. A tray left in its case does not move your teeth. Your exact instructions come from your provider.
Yes. Invisalign is often used to line up your teeth before whitening, bonding or veneers, which gives those treatments a better foundation. We can plan the steps together as part of your smile design.
You may feel pressure for the first two days of each new set, and your teeth can feel tender when you bite. That pressure is the aligner working, and it usually fades on its own. If it is strong or does not ease, call us at (954) 322-3865.
