Invisible Braces

There’s no need to relive your middle school “metal mouth” days (if you don’t want to!). Clear aligners are the invisible answer to your crooked teeth woes. Comfortable, discreet, and faster than traditional orthodontics, with invisible aligners you can go about your daily life with the confidence that no one will know you are wearing braces.

What Are Invisible Braces?

The term “invisible braces” can have a few different meanings. In general, braces are dental appliances that straighten or move teeth to improve their look and functionality.

For years, traditional metal braces were the standard of care for fixing bite problems and straightening crooked teeth. Today, orthodontists have a number of tools at their disposal to improve smiles with almost invisible, fully customizable treatment plans.

Invisible braces are a type of orthodontia that uses barely-visible materials to align teeth, close gaps, and correct bite problems. Invisible or clear braces are the most popular choice for [adult braces] nowadays.

Invisible Options For Straightening Your Teeth

The orthodontists at Dr. Patty Miami offer a selection of effective, safe, and comfortable invisible and clear braces to help you achieve an irresistible smile without interfering with your lifestyle.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable trays that apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them. Clear aligners are the #1 invisible braces choice at Dr. Patty Miami because they are virtually invisible, so you won’t have to worry about unsightly and uncomfortable wires or brackets cemented to your teeth.

At Dr. Patty Miami, we are proud to offer the two highest-rated clear aligner options in the market: Invisalign and Clear Correct. Read on to learn more.

Invisalign

Invisalign® uses a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of completely clear, smooth, and comfortable plastic that you wear over your teeth.

Wearing Invisalign aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements that your orthodontist at Dr. Patty Miami plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners every few weeks, as indicated by your orthodontist, until your treatment is complete.

Clear Correct

Clear Correct is a simple way to straighten teeth without metal braces by using a series of removable, custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner moves the teeth just a little at a time until patients eventually achieve a perfectly straight smile.

Clear Correct aligners are the simplest and most unnoticeable solution to straighten teeth without having to wear traditional braces! This is one of the clearest aligner systems on the market, and you will be able to take advantage of having:

NO wires…
…and NO brackets!

Why Choose Clear Correct Aligners?

With Clear Correct, your teeth can be straightened using a series of removable, custom, clear aligners. Each tray slowly moves your teeth until they are straight.

This invisible braces option will easily fit into your lifestyle and daily routine as perfectly as it fits onto your teeth – so there will be no need for you to make big lifestyle changes! The makers of Clear Correct will even replace lost or broken trays at no charge.

Clear Correct aligners were designed to be a non-intrusive treatment, allowing for flexibility in your wearing schedule. That being said, the more you use your aligners, the faster you will see results!

Problems That Clear Correct Addresses

Crowding: Teeth that are positioned too closely together may become crooked, causing discomfort, pain or difficulty cleaning.
Spacing: Tooth gaps are typically undesirable and can increase the chance of tooth decay.
Crossbite and overbite: Outside of cosmetic concerns, cross and overbites can contribute to dietary and dental issues.

Your teeth are one of the first things that people notice about you, so let the professionals at Dr. Patty Miami help you make them shine! Call to book a consultation.

Invisible Braces

We also offer clear braces options for adults and teens that want to straighten their smiles more discreetly and comfortably than with traditional braces:

Clear Braces

Ceramic or clear braces are similar to traditional braces but are made from tooth-colored materials to make them less visible than metal brackets. Both metal and ceramic braces move your teeth by exerting constant yet gentle pressure for extended periods of time.

Pros And Cons Of Ceramic Braces

Pros

Subtler and more discreet than traditional braces
Less expensive than clear aligners such as Invisalign
Smoother and more comfortable than traditional metal braces
Easier to remove after the treatment finishes
Just as effective as regular braces

Cons

Tend to stain more easily than metal braces, so it’s important to avoid dark
beverages like coffee and wine during your treatment
More likely to break off than traditional braces

Six Month Smiles®

Six Month Smiles® uses specialized clear braces to straighten and align teeth quickly and safely in an average of just six months. Unlike metal braces, these tooth-colored braces are barely visible, and they use low force to move teeth more comfortably.

For adults (15 years and older) with crooked or spaced teeth, Six Month Smiles could be the solution they’ve been waiting for. Most adults are good candidates for the treatment.

The program focuses on teeth that show in a smile, not making significant bite changes. The dentist comfortably straightens teeth to give you the attractive, pleasant smile you’ve always dreamed of.

Lingual Braces

Lingual or Incognito braces are an orthodontic treatment similar to traditional metal braces – the only difference is that they are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible unless your mouth is wide open.

These braces are a great option for patients that want to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth without noticeable wires or brackets. Lingual braces use the same bracket-wire system as conventional braces, applying continuous pressure to achieve an attractive, perfectly aligned smile.

Mail-Order Aligners

Mail-order aligners have become a popular trend over the past few years. The idea behind these treatments is for patients to straighten their teeth at home, without having to visit the orthodontist.

The companies that make mail-order invisible aligners claim that their braces can fix a variety of dental problems faster and at half the cost of professional orthodontia.

The Problem With Mail-Order Braces

There are several issues with mail-order aligners, including limited treatment options and less than ideal results. But the biggest problem with mail-order aligners is that they can cause serious oral health consequences, so much so that the American Association of Orthodontists and American Dental Association have spoken out against do-it-yourself orthodontia.

Dangers Of Mail-Order Aligners Include:

No comprehensive exam or X-rays before treatment
No regular supervision from a dental professional
Don’t address complex misalignment issues
If not done correctly, can lead to irreversible tooth and gum damage

Like most things, with mail-order aligners you get what you pay for. If you want to get beautifully straightened teeth, your best and only option should always be a professional orthodontist.

What Is The Difference Between Clear Braces And Invisalign?

The main difference between clear braces and Invisalign is the materials used to make them. While clear braces are made from tooth-colored ceramic, Invisalign is made from ultra-clear, nearly invisible plastic.

Another important difference is that clear braces are attached to your teeth, whereas you can Invisalign trays to eat and brush your teeth.

Am I A Candidate For Invisible Braces?

Most teens and adults with bite issues and other dental problems are good candidates for invisible braces. However, the only way of knowing if braces are the best option for you is to schedule an appointment with an orthodontist.

Are Ceramic Braces As Effective As Metal Braces?

Yes. Ceramic braces can be as effective as metal braces. While traditional braces are more durable than ceramic options, both use the same mechanisms for straightening teeth.
