Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces
Invisalign® straightens your teeth just as effectively as traditional metal braces, but with a modern approach better suited to an active, social lifestyle. The clear plastic aligners are virtually invisible, so no one has to know they are there. And unlike traditional braces, they are removable! This allows you to brush and floss your teeth without the interference of brackets, which can contribute to tooth decay.
You can pop these clear braces out to eat and drink whatever you like with no food restrictions. Traditional braces use wires and metal that can poke and irritate your gums. Invisalign® is made of smooth plastic that is comfortable to wear and won’t irritate delicate cheeks and gums.
The convenience of Invisalign® appeals to people in all stages of life and offers the versatility you won’t find with traditional braces. Invisalign for teens in Palm Beach Gardens lets them remove their aligners for special occasions, such as the prom or graduation photos. Adults can remove their aligners for a wedding or other event. Enjoy the significant benefits of improving your smile with minimal impact on your appearance and how you feel.
The Invisalign Process at PGA Smiles
Invisalign® effectively corrects a wide variety of dental problems, including mild to moderate gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Invisalign® treatment begins with a consultation to determine if you are a good candidate and to answer all of your questions. Not all dentists or orthodontists work with Invisalign®. Drs. Edge and Sorel-Edge are specially trained providers who will develop a customized treatment plan to help you achieve beautiful results.
We’ll start with X-rays and dental impressions to create a 3D image of your teeth. Using this, we can map the exact movements of your teeth and create a virtual image of how they will look. Based on your individualized plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners is made specifically for you. The aligners are made of BPA-free clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth. The aligners are smooth and thin, making them comfortable to wear.
You should wear your  Invisalign aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to clean your teeth and to eat and drink. About every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, progressing you toward your treatment goals. You will visit our office about every 6 weeks so we can monitor your progress and ensure everything is going smoothly.

Invisalign® FAQs
How much does Invisalign cost in Palm Beach Gardens?
The cost depends on the degree of correction needed and the number of aligner trays required. Because we create an individualized treatment plan for each patient, the best way to get an accurate price is to schedule a consultation. Invisalign is typically on par with, or even less expensive than, traditional braces.
Does Invisalign hurt?
When you switch to a new set of clear aligners, you may feel a slight aching sensation for the first day or two. This is because your teeth are adjusting to the new pressure as they are being pressed into their new positions. This is a mild sensation that passes quickly and can be controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers. Invisalign is far more comfortable than metal braces.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
For most patients, treatment takes 12 to 18 months, but for others it can take as little as 9 months. We can determine how long treatment will take at your initial appointment.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Anyone who is interested in straightening their teeth or correcting mild to moderate overbite, underbite, misalignment, or crowding of their teeth without having to wear bulky metal braces. Candidates must have healthy teeth and gums and be non-smokers.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?
Dedication to wearing your Invisalign for 20 to 22 hours every day is essential to their success. While you can skip a day for a special occasion, this should be rare. If you do not wear them daily for at least 20 hours, you will not see optimal results, and the treatment time may have to be extended.
