Invisalign Clear Aligners in New Smyrna Beach, FL

Crooked teeth, crowding, and gaps can make you self-conscious about your smile, but fixing them doesn't have to mean a mouth full of metal. Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth into place gradually, and most people won't even notice you're wearing them.

At Atlantic Family Dentistry, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners for teens and adults in New Smyrna Beach, along with remote progress check-ins that mean fewer trips to the office. Call us at (386) 426-2191 to find out if Invisalign is right for you.

‍

How Invisalign Treatment Works

1. Evaluation: We examine your teeth and bite to make sure clear aligners are a good fit.
2. Digital scan: Instead of messy impressions, we take a digital scan of your teeth to plan your treatment.
3. Custom aligners: Your aligners are made to fit your teeth and move them slightly over time.
4. Wear and switch: You wear each set for about two weeks, then move to the next, wearing them 20 to 22 hours a day.
5. Check-ins: We monitor your progress, both in the office and remotely.
6. Retainers: After treatment, we provide retainers to keep your new smile in place.

Fewer Office Visits with Remote Monitoring

Through our partnership with Evenly, your progress can be tracked with EvenlyTrack, a remote monitoring system that lets you send updates from home. Your dentist reviews your progress and lets you know when it's time to move on or come in, so treatment fits into a busy schedule.

‍

What Can Invisalign Fix?

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Mildly crooked teeth
• Overbites and underbites
• Teeth that have shifted after braces years ago

Invisalign works best for mild to moderate alignment issues. For more complex cases, we also offer traditional braces, and we'll help you choose the option that will give you the best result.

‍

Invisalign vs. Braces

• Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss. They're smooth, with no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks. Because they come out, results depend on wearing them as directed, about 20 to 22 hours a day.
• Traditional braces stay on your teeth full-time, so there's nothing to remember to wear. They can handle more complex tooth movement and bite problems, but they're more visible, require care around brackets and wires, and come with some food restrictions.

Both can create a beautifully straight smile. We'll recommend what fits your teeth, lifestyle, and goals.

‍

What Does Wearing Invisalign Feel Like?

• Pressure: You may feel mild pressure for a day or two after switching to a new set. That's a sign your teeth are moving.
• Speech: Some people notice a slight lisp at first, which usually fades within a few days.
• Attachments: Small, tooth-colored bumps may be placed on some teeth to help the aligners grip and guide movement. They're barely noticeable.

‍

Caring for Your Aligners

• Take your aligners out to eat or drink anything other than plain water
• Brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in, so food isn't trapped against your teeth
• Rinse your aligners and clean them gently every day
• Store them in their case whenever they're out of your mouth
• Avoid hot water, which can warp them

‍

Keeping Your Results

Teeth naturally try to drift back after they've been straightened. When your treatment is complete, we'll provide retainers to protect your results. Wearing them as directed is the best way to keep your smile straight for years to come.

‍

Why Patients Choose Invisalign

• Discreet: Clear aligners are hard to spot
• Removable: Eat your favorite foods and brush and floss normally
• Comfortable: Smooth plastic with no metal brackets or wires
• Convenient: Remote check-ins mean fewer office visits
• Planned digitally: Your treatment is mapped out from the start

Many patients pair Invisalign with other cosmetic dentistry treatments for a complete smile makeover. Once your teeth are straight, professional teeth whitening is a popular way to finish your new smile.

‍

Invisalign for Teens

Clear aligners are a great fit for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of braces. They can be removed for sports, photos, and meals. As a family practice, we can care for your teen's orthodontic needs alongside the rest of their children's dental care.

Invisalign FAQs in New Smyrna Beach, FL

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Many patients finish in about 6 to 18 months.

‍

Does Invisalign hurt?

Most people feel mild pressure for a day or two with each new set of aligners. It's usually much more comfortable than braces.

‍

Can I eat with my aligners in?

No. Take them out to eat or to drink anything other than water, then brush before putting them back in.

‍

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

For mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues, Invisalign can be very effective. For more complex cases, traditional braces may work better, and we offer both.

‍

Does insurance cover Invisalign?

Some dental plans include orthodontic benefits that can help. We'll check your coverage for you.
