Invisalign for Teens in South Florida

Orthodontic Options - Aventura and North Miami

Lately more and more people in South Florida are driving down to Miami Lakes Orthodontics, although Invisalign providers in South Florida are as common gas stations. That is because moms who prefer the best know what board certified orthodontist Dr. Carmen Briceño can provide. Individuals, for many years, inevitably thought about a mouth full of wires and rubber bands whenever the word “orthodontics” was brought up. Understandably, these are all effective deterrents from people visiting the dentist office. Now with the introductions of Invisalign, individuals are welcoming to the notion of this alternative to the traditional idea of orthodontics.  We can chat about some of the benefits of Invisalign for Teens in South Florida.

Invisalign is a fairly comfortable, esthetically pleasing oral plastic device that aids in realign teeth that has been misaligned. Invisalign is available for teens and adults. It has been reported by the American Association for Dental Research that Invisalign clear plastic orthodontic aligners cost more in materials than conventional braces, but the patient needs less visits and the treatment period is shorter. Invisalign devices are almost invisible, so people can’t always detect that you are getting orthodontic treatment in South Florida. Oral care is improved because you need to remove the trays before you eat and you must brush and floss carefully before replacing the trays. Some individuals even lose weight because they don’t snack as much during the process of orthodontic care. One last pro to Invisalign, is that you don’t get as sore inside your cheeks and lips as is known to happen with traditional braces.

Invisalign! Does it really work?

Pediatric Orthodontist Miami | Braces & Invisalign Specialist

What is the truth about Invisalign, Smile Direct Club, and all of these new braces I see online and on TV?

A few weeks ago, at a birthday party, I had a few people walk up to me and ask me, “Does Invisalign work?”  To which I replied, “Well, it depends.  In many cases, it does work but cannot fix every problem someone has with their smile.  We have helped thousands of people to get great results with their smile using Invisalign, but there have also been thousands of cases that the patient wanted to use Invisalign, but we had to use braces or a combination of braces and Invisalign to correct all of their issues.  Orthodontic treatment should always be based on the exact needs of the individual patient.  Everyone has a unique situation when it comes to their smile as well as their lifestyle.  A good orthodontist should help the patient determine if they need treatment in the first place and find the best solution based on their needs and preferences.  It should never be a case where the treatment is based on something someone saw on TV unless the solution on TV is the best course of action for the patient.  That being said, if someone comes into the office and wants Invisalign, and we can get them the results they want, then I am all for helping them with Invisalign.

They seemed satisfied with my answer to their Invisalign question. Then they moved on to ask me another question about yet another commercial that they had seen repeatedly on TV for an at-home, D.I.Y. Invisalign.  I asked them, “Do you think it is smart to treat your smile at home?  Are you pretty confident in your skills as an orthodontist?”  We all laughed as someone’s wife mentioned that they couldn’t even make chocolate chip cookies out of a box so imagine how their teeth would come out if they tried to do their Invisalign.  A woman then replied with the perfect response: “My teeth are so important to me as I smile every day of my life and in every situation of my life.  I smile at home with my husband and kids to show them love and affection.  I smile at work with my co-workers and clients to let them know I am happy or agree with what they say.  My smile is just too important to leave to chance.  When it comes to my smile, I want to make sure that I have the best person helping me get the best results.  A discount, D.I.Y. smile is not worth it to me”.   I simply replied, Amen”.
