Invisalign in Coral Gables, FL

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using clear plastic aligners. These aligners are made based on precise impressions of your teeth and custom-designed to fit snugly and comfortably.

At Shari A. Witkoff DMD, we recommend Invisalign as a convenient alternative to metal braces. These aligners are removable and allow you to eat and drink whatever you want during treatment. As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will move closer and closer to their ideal position until your treatment is complete. 

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is an excellent option for adults and teens who want straighter teeth but don’t want to deal with the hassles of traditional braces. Invisalign in Coral Gables can treat various orthodontic issues, including misaligned teeth, gapped teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. It can also help with crowding and bite problems.

Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligner trays to move your teeth into the desired position over time. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks and replaced with the next in the series. You will wear each set of aligners for about 20-22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into place, leaving you with a beautifully aligned smile.

The Benefits of Invisalign

• Invisalign aligners are removable and can be taken out for brushing and flossing. With traditional braces, brushing and flossing can be more difficult and time-consuming.
• Because Invisalign clear aligner trays can be removed for eating, there are no food restrictions associated with this treatment. Patients can eat and drink whatever they want without worrying about damaging their orthodontic appliances.
• Unlike traditional braces, which use visible metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic trays that are nearly invisible when worn. This makes them more discreet than traditional braces.
• Invisalign treatment requires fewer visits to our dentist in Coral Gables than traditional braces. This is because aligners don’t have any wires that need to be tightened as the teeth move. Instead, new aligners are provided every few weeks to continue moving the teeth into the desired position.
• Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces as there are no metal brackets or wires to irritate the mouth.
