Invisalign
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners. At Alfonso Dental Miami, located in the Flagler Street area of Miami, FL, we offer Invisalign as a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to gradually move your teeth into the desired position, addressing issues such as overcrowding, gaps, and misalignment. Dr. Jossue Alfonso is experienced in providing Invisalign treatment, helping you achieve a straighter, more confident smile without the need for metal brackets and wires.
Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces, making it an appealing option for both teens and adults. The aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. Additionally, the aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, which makes maintaining oral hygiene easier compared to braces. Invisalign is also known for being more comfortable, as there are no metal wires or brackets to cause irritation to the gums and cheeks. The convenience and aesthetic appeal of Invisalign make it a popular choice for patients seeking a more flexible approach to orthodontics.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
The Invisalign treatment process at Alfonso Dental Miami begins with a consultation where Dr. Alfonso will assess your dental condition and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. If you proceed, digital impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a precise 3D model of your mouth. This model is used to design a custom treatment plan, mapping out the gradual movements of your teeth. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly different, to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Over time, these aligners will gently and progressively shift your teeth into alignment, with check-ups scheduled every few weeks to monitor progress.
