Dr. Grussmark Offers Miami Beach, FL Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign treatment usually takes between six and 12 months. Your treatment experience begins with an initial appointment for a comprehensive orthodontic examination. We will evaluate your smile, bite and facial structure to determine whether Invisalign is a viable treatment option for you or your family member.

Orthodontic records also will be taken at this appointment to create a treatment plan that will generate optimum results.

Orthodontics is much more than just straightening teeth. Facial structure also is affected by the position of your teeth. Your teeth act as a support structure for the lips and other soft tissue features. The vertical and horizontal positioning of the upper and lower jaws also are directly related to tooth position.

We will discuss the care options and provide you with a detailed recommendation based on our findings at this initial appointment.

Impressions of your teeth will be taken and digitized to create a computerized 3-D image of your teeth. We will use this image to plan your tooth movements throughout your treatment timeline. You will be able to see a virtual representation of how your teeth look before, during and after Invisalign treatment. This will give you a representation of what your smile should look like once you have completed treatment.

Based upon your treatment plan, a series of customized aligners will be made. At each appointment- typically about every six weeks- you will be given a series of three aligners. Each customized aligner will be worn for two weeks before graduating to the next aligner.

Common Problems Treated With Invisalign

A variety of problems can be treated using Invisalign, including abnormal bite relationships between the upper and lower jaws and teeth. This includes overbites and underbites.

Crossbites, crowding, deep bites, open bites and spacing issues also can be corrected with Invisalign treatment. Even gummy smiles often can be corrected with Invisalign, although in severe cases, surgery may be required to correct the condition.

We invite you to contact us today for your complimentary orthodontic evaluation and see how easy and convenient orthodontics is at the Centre for Invisible Orthodontics.

Home Care of Aligners

Aligners should be cleaned each time before placing them in your mouth. We offer the Invisalign Cleaning System, which cleans the aligners and keeps them looking clear.

Rinse aligners well after each cleaning.
