If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but dread the idea of metal braces, you’re not alone. Many adults and teens are turning to Invisalign®—a clear, removable aligner system that gently moves teeth into place without wires, brackets, or restrictions.
At Miami Veneers, Dr. Dina offers customized Invisalign treatment plans for patients who want an effective, discreet alternative to braces. But is it the right choice for you?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, BPA-free plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into better alignment.
They’re virtually invisible, easy to remove for meals and cleaning, and incredibly convenient—especially for professionals, teens, or anyone who doesn’t want the look of traditional orthodontics.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
| Feature | Invisalign | Traditional Braces |
| Appearance | Clear and nearly invisible | Metal brackets and wires |
| Removability | Removable for eating & brushing | Fixed until treatment ends |
| Comfort | Smooth, no wires or irritation | Can cause irritation or sores |
| Maintenance | Brush aligners & teeth normally | Special tools for cleaning |
| Office Visits | Fewer, shorter check-ins | Regular adjustments required |
Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, and bite correction. For complex orthodontic needs, braces may still be the better option—but we’ll let Dr. Dina make that call.
What Invisalign Can Treat
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Relapsed shifting after braces
- Cosmetic spacing issues
During your consultation, we’ll take a digital scan of your teeth and create a 3D preview of your treatment plan—so you can see your smile transformation before it begins.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation & Digital Scan
We’ll assess your bite and scan your teeth using advanced 3D technology. - Custom Aligner Creation
Your aligners are created just for you, designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure. - Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (non-water), and brushing. - Progress & Checkups
Every 6–8 weeks, you’ll come in for a check-in and to receive your next sets of aligners.
How Long Does It Take?
Most Invisalign treatments last between 6 to 12 months. More complex cases may take a bit longer, but many patients begin seeing noticeable improvements within a few weeks.
