Although they are effective, traditional braces aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing. If you’ve chosen not to straighten your teeth for that reason, we have good news: we offer a convenient and effective Invisalign alternative at our Pembroke Pines dental office! To learn more about it, including if you’re a candidate and how the clear aligners work, read on or get in touch with us to schedule a consultation.
Instead of using metal brackets and wires to correct common orthodontic problems, like overcrowding, we use Clearly clear aligners. Each set in the series is custom-made to move your teeth a step closer to their ideal positions. Then, after a week or two, you’ll transition to the next set, which will pick up where the previous one left off. This process will repeat itself until your teeth and bite are perfectly aligned. Then, we will take the final impressions, the “after” photos, and have a custom retainer made to ensure you can enjoy your new and improved smile both now and years from now!
Clearly clear aligners are quite versatile. So, if you are interested in straightening your teeth without the metal, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us – there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate! In the meantime, you can read on to learn a few of the orthodontic problems clear aligners can address.
Unfortunately, crowded teeth can negatively impact your self-esteem and your oral health. There is good news though: clear aligners can address mild to moderate cases without any metal components. As a result, straightening your teeth and aligning your bite won’t draw unwanted attention to your smile!
If your teeth are spaced apart, you’re also at an increased risk of developing tooth decay and gum disease. That’s why we recommend exploring your orthodontic treatment options! If you’re a candidate for clear aligners, then we can gently close the gaps, benefiting the look and health of your smile.
There’s a common misconception that clear aligners are solely for straightening teeth. The reality is that they can correct common bite problems as well. So, if you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, take the next step: schedule a consultation with us!
Clearly aligners offer a modern, hassle-free way to achieve a perfectly straightened smile. Unlike traditional braces, these clear, removable trays stay off the radar and integrate into your lifestyle without a hitch. Whether you're an adult looking for a gorgeous grin with professional orthodontics or a teen who wants to avoid the “metal mouth” look, Clearly makes the process easy. At Friedland Family Dentistry of Pembroke Pines, we love helping patients transform their smiles with this convenient treatment. Curious about the benefits Clearly can offer? Read more below to see why these clear aligners could be the perfect choice for you!
Clearly aligners straighten teeth without the need for metal brackets, wires, or frequent adjustments. Instead, they gently shift your teeth into place using a series of custom-made trays. The process is smooth, predictable, and comfortable, allowing you to go about your business every day without stressing over your smile.
One of the biggest advantages of Clearly aligners over traditional orthodontics is their discreet design. These clear trays are nearly invisible once worn, allowing you to straighten your teeth without notice. Whether you're at work, school, or out with friends, Clearly lets you improve your smile confidently and without being scrutinized. At our Pembroke Pines dental office, we believe orthodontics should enhance your life, not complicate it!
With Clearly, you won’t need frequent in-office visits like you would with braces. Checkups typically happen every six to eight weeks and are quick and simple—usually around 15 to 30 minutes. Since there are no brackets or wires to adjust, your appointments will focus on tracking progress and ensuring your success.
Since Clearly aligners are removable, keeping up with your oral hygiene routine is much easier than with braces. You can brush and floss as you normally would, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during treatment. And, unlike braces, there are no food restrictions! Just take out your aligners before you eat or drink anything other than water and clean your teeth before putting them back in.
Clearly aligners are designed for a smooth, snug fit—no metal, no frustration. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, reducing the irritation that often occurs with braces due to loose wires or broken brackets.
While there may be some mild discomfort when you first get them and when you switch to a new set, it’s temporary. Simply use some generic pain medication and switch to soft foods for a couple of days.
A straighter smile isn’t just about looking good—it’s about feeling great! Clearly aligners gradually improve your smile throughout the process, often giving you noticeable results within months! This can cause a chain reaction of confidence. In fact, many patients report smiling more, feeling more self-assured, and experiencing a boost in both their private and professional lives!
There actually isn’t a flat fee for clear aligner treatment. That’s because the number of aligners needed, the severity of the orthodontic issues at hand, the type of retainer needed, and other important factors need to be considered first. The good news is that we can provide you with an estimate of the cost at your appointment. Plus, we can review all of the financial solutions available – from dental insurance and flexible financing to our latest special offers.
