Today more and more people in South Florida are choosing Lakes Orthodontics, even though Invisalign providers in South Florida are like baker’s dozens. That is because individuals who want the best know what expert orthodontist Dr. Carmen Crespi has to offer. Patients, for years, automatically thought about a mouth full of metal and rubber bands whenever the term “orthodontics” was mentioned. Justifiably, these are all real deterrents from patients visiting the dentist office. Now with the introductions of Invisalign, individuals are welcoming to the notion of this substitute to the traditional idea of orthodontics.  We can debate over some pros of Clear Aligners in South Florida.

Clear braces ot Invisalign is a fairly comfortable, visually pleasant looking oral plastic device that serves to realign teeth that has been misaligned. You can be considered for Invisalign from the age of 12. American Association for Dental Research reported that Invisalign treatment cost more in materials than traditional braces, but the patient needs less visits and the treatment period is shorter. Invisalign devices are virtually invisible, so people can’t always detect that you are having orthodontic care in South Florida. Oral care is increased because you must remove the aligners so you can eat and you need to brush and floss carefully before replacing the trays. Some patient even lose weight because they don’t snack as much during the process of orthodontic care. One last pro to Invisalign, is that the inside of your cheeks and lips don’t get as sore as can happen with traditional braces.

For most people, going to the orthodontist is not considered as dreadful as going to the dentist.  However, if you ask kids, teens, and adults what one thing they hate about going to the orthodontist is, they will almost unanimously say, “dental impressions!”

For most people, going to the orthodontist is not considered as dreadful as going to the dentist.  However, if you ask kids, teens, and adults what they hate about going to the orthodontist, they will almost unanimously say, “dental impressions!”

Dental Impression – is the procedure by which a putty-like clay compound is deposited in a device called a tray. The tray is then placed in your mouth, and once you bite down on it, a negative imprint of your dental arch is created. From this imprint, a positive reproduction can be cast. Dental impressions are used throughout the dental industry quite frequently. Their most common application includes the creation of mouth guards, whitening trays, retainers, crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, and dental models, among other things. Although better technology now exists, many dentists insist on using them because they are cheap and easy to use, even if they don’t provide the best patient experience.

At Lakes Orthodontics, we opt not to use “old school” dental impressions. We find them to be an antiquated technology dating back to the 1800s. They are not as accurate as digital impressions and are not a favorite with patients. Because of this, we have invested in an iTero, Intraoral Scanner by Align Technology, Inc.

The iTero, Intraoral Scanner, is a revolutionary high precision, digital, dental scanning device developed to improve the time it takes to fit braces and Invisalign and its accuracy. With the iTero, Intraoral Scanner Invisalign ClinCheck (modeling procedure) setups are 50% faster. There are 10X fewer rejections, 7X fewer fit issues, and, more important to us, a better patient experience. Not only that, but at Lakes Orthodontics, we can actually show you an image of how their teeth may look after Invisalign treatment!

There are many reasons why families and individuals from Aventura to Doral, from Pembroke Pines to Miami Gardens, and Hialeah chose Miami Lakes Orthodontics for their braces and Invisalign! Our iTero digital dental scanning technology is just one of them!
