1-2-3 Smile Family Dentistry is your Miami, FL, dentist office that can treat any and all dental concerns under one roof, including orthodontic concerns.
Patients of all ages can benefit from pursuing orthodontic options. It is never too late to achieve your dream smile. That’s why we are happy to provide orthodontic solutions to our patients. If you have crooked, misaligned teeth, orthodontic solutions like traditional braces can help you achieve a more beautiful and healthier smile. Learn more about traditional braces below.
Traditional braces utilize a system of brackets and wires which are securely attached to your teeth the entire time while you undergo treatment. Every few weeks, you will need to visit your dentist’s office and have the wires tightened. By tightening the wires periodically, over time this will create small amounts of pressure and encourage your teeth to shift into a straighter position. When your treatment is complete, we will recommend the use of a retainer to help maintain your straightened smile for many years to come.
Our office is excited to offer patients the option to treat their orthodontic concerns with Invisalign clear aligners. A discreet alternative to traditional braces, Invisalign utilizes retainer-like aligners that slowly apply pressure to your dental structures and encourage them to shift into a straighter position. While traditional braces are used to treat patients with moderate to severe orthodontic concerns, Invisalign can help patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Our doctors will evaluate the current condition of your smile and offer you the orthodontic treatment plan that best meets your needs. Ask about Invisalign during your next appointment
Your dentist will check the condition of your teeth and mouth before deciding the right kind of braces for you. It will also depend on your budget and preferences. Once the treatment plan is done, they will make all the necessary arrangements to proceed with the treatment. They might clean your teeth, if required, before inserting the traditional braces. Follow all the instructions they specific to live happily with the braces on. Avoid food that might stick to the braces. Also, brush and floss properly according to the instructions given. And visit your dentist at regular intervals. To know more about the treatment or get it for yourself, contact our Miami, FL dentist office today.
