Invisalign

Want to change your smile without traditional braces? Straightening your teeth can be easy and discreet, thanks to Invisalign®. Dr. Gloria Ospina uses this acclaimed orthodontic treatment to move teeth over time with subtle-looking clear aligners. If you want to explore your candidacy for Invisalign treatment, visit us in Coral Gables, FL.

What Makes a Good Invisalign Candidate?

Our team will assess your smile, checking your bite and degree of misalignment. Though you won't know if you're a candidate until you visit our office, our dentist typically helps patients with:

Moderate Misalignment

Patients with mild to moderate misalignment will be the best candidates for Invisalign, but Invisalign attachments may be able to help with more substantial cases.

Minor Bite Issues

Invisalign can assist with minor bite issues. However, our dentist has extensive familiarity with Invisalign, so she may have the resources and experience that allow her to address more severe bite issues.

Slight Shifting

Have you straightened your teeth with orthodontics before, but noticed shifting? You can rejuvenate your smile again with Invisalign.

See Just How Discreetly Invisalign Works

Dentists and orthodontists alike prefer Invisalign over other orthodontic treatments because it combines discretion with effective tooth repositioning.

By using multiple sets of custom clear aligners, Invisalign can move your teeth without the noticeable hallmarks of traditional braces. Our dentist is happy to explain the benefits in person during your orthodontic treatment consultation.

We Offer Orthodontic Options for Patients of Many Ages

Children

If your child is seven or older, our dentist may be able to help them with orthodontic treatment designed to assist with the spacing of their permanent teeth. This method allows us to guide where the teeth grow.

Teenagers

Instead of struggling with traditional braces, teenagers can receive easier treatment using aligners. Invisalign can allow cavity-prone teens to easily brush and floss their teeth so they can keep bacteria to a minimum during orthodontic treatment.

Adults

Many adults come to us wishing they'd had orthodontic treatment as a teenager, while others have noticed shifting in their teeth after not wearing their retainers. Our dentist provides Invisalign and Invisalign attachments, giving adult patients a lovely smile.

"I am very happy with the work Dr. Ospina did for me. She's not just a dentist, she's an artist! After receiving intense radiation treatment, I suffered severe tooth decay and my bite was completely misaligned. Dr. Ospina reconstructed my teeth and made them look and feel the way they did when I was in my early twenties. Incredible work. I'm also very grateful for her and her entire support team. They made me feel part of the family. Thank you very much!"

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Our board-certified dentist has conducted Invisalign treatment since 2000.

Orthodontic Consultation

We'll first assess your candidacy for Invisalign treatment. Along the way, our dentist will get to know you and your goals, so she can truly tailor your care to your unique smile.

Treatment Plan

Before you make your decision, we'll explain your case and treatment options. This allows you to know ahead of time how long the process will take and what it will involve.

Smile Scans

To make the most accurate clear aligners possible, we will take video-like scans of your smile, including your teeth, bite registration, and gums. Our 5D iTero scans are all quick and digital—a big change from putty impressions that used to be standard for orthodontic treatments.

Aligner Creation

Once we have your scans, it's time to make your custom clear aligners using advanced Invisalign technology. This process can take a couple of weeks.

Receiving Aligners

When your aligners are ready, we'll call you back to our Coral Gables dental office. Before you leave, we'll have you test out your first set of aligners. We'll also inform you about aligner care and treatment processes, as well as answer all your questions.

Wearing Aligners

The next step is all you. Remember, with clear aligners, the effort you put into wearing them directly impacts your results. You should wear them for at least 22 hours a day, taking them out only for meals, dental care, and the occasional special event.

Follow-Up Visits

Our dentist is detail oriented. She likes to have patients return for a follow-up appointment to make sure they're wearing their aligners correctly and to make any corrections to the treatment plan if necessary.

Regular Checkups

To make sure that your treatment is progressing well, we'll see you for regular hygiene checkups every three months. This allows us to make any changes to your aligners, as well as answer any questions you may have.

What Happens if I Lose an Aligner?

/

No need to stress! Our dentist advises keeping all your aligners somewhere safe and dry until your treatment is complete. That way, you can just pull out the previous aligner and wear it until we can make a new one.
