Clear Aligners in South Florida
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.

Best For Braces Or Invisalign Treatment In Miami?
I often ask, “Who is the best person to help me fix my teeth? Or, what type of doctor or dentist is the right choice for my Invisalign/braces?” The answer is very simple. When you need something specific for your dental health, such as aligning your teeth or fixing your bite, you should always go to an orthodontist. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has gone through years of additional training after dental school in order to become an orthodontist. You must note the distinction that all orthodontists are dentists, but general or family dentists are NOT orthodontists. This is made even more confusing as the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) has allowed general dentists to advertise that they perform orthodontics! This is immoral but not illegal. It is terrible for the average consumer who has no idea that the dentist they receive their consultation and diagnosis from may not be qualified to treat them or their child for braces or Invisalign.
Who is best for the job?
Now, the initial question was, “Who is the BEST doctor/dentist to see for braces or Invisalign treatment?” If you are looking for the best of the best (and I 100% feel that you should consider the importance of your smile or your child’s smile!) then you should look for a board-certified orthodontic specialist in Miami. The only way to know that the dentist you are going to use is a board-certified orthodontist is to visit the American Board of Orthodontics website and check out their Board Certified Orthodontist Locator. This tool allows you to look up the orthodontist you intend to use by Name, City, Zip Code, etc. This is to ensure that you are actually going to use the service of a highly trained and board-certified dentist for your orthodontic treatment.
Today, so many dentists advertise that they perform orthodontic treatments, which is very confusing for the consumer. It’s also costly to the consumer when they find that they have to eventually go to a board-certified orthodontist to repair what was done by their dentist. Orthodontics is a specialty in dentistry and should be performed by an orthodontist and not any other type of dentist. It would be similar to going to your family doctor for your checkup, and he or she tells you that you have an issue with your heart or skin. Still, instead of referring you to a cardiologist or dermatologist, they just go ahead and do everything themselves! If you would not let your family doctor treat what your cardiologist should, then you should not let your family dentist treat what your orthodontist should.
