Our experienced dental team is dedicated to providing personalized care, using cutting-edge technology to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for traditional braces or clear aligners, our goal is to give you a healthy, beautiful smile that enhances both your appearance and confidence.

What Is Teeth Alignment?

Teeth alignment refers to the process of correcting the positioning of your teeth and jaw to improve both function and aesthetics. Misaligned teeth can lead to a range of issues, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. At Brickell Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer several options to help align your teeth and achieve a healthier bite.

When Is Teeth Alignment Needed?

Teeth alignment treatments may be recommended if you have:

  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Difficulty biting or chewing
  • Jaw pain or discomfort due to misalignment

By aligning your teeth, you not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also improve your overall oral health, reducing the risk of future dental issues.

Teeth Alignment Options at HQ Dontics

We offer several teeth alignment options to suit your lifestyle and dental needs:

  • Traditional Braces: Tried and true, traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into place. This option is highly effective for severe misalignments.
  • Clear Aligners (Invisalign®): A popular alternative to braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This option is ideal for those seeking a discreet, convenient treatment.
  • Lingual Braces: These braces are placed on the back of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. They are a great choice for patients who need traditional braces but want a more aesthetic solution.
  • Retainers: After your alignment treatment, retainers help maintain the results, ensuring your teeth stay in their new, corrected positions.

Benefits of Teeth Alignment

  • Improves the appearance of your smile
  • Corrects bite issues and enhances chewing ability
  • Reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Boosts confidence with a straighter, more attractive smile
  • Prevents jaw pain and discomfort associated with misaligned teeth

Teeth Alignment

 

You may be surprised to know that the benefits of having properly aligned teeth extend far beyond a confident smile. According to the American Dental Association, straightening your teeth can actually significantly affect your overall dental health. Think about it — a smile can hardly be perfect if it’s not a healthy one. Fortunately, with Invisalign®, having a confident smile and reducing your risk for tooth decay and gum disease go hand in hand.

Step 1 – Initial consultation

 

During the consultation, we will discuss your case in detail to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign now addresses many cases, from simple to more complex. We will determine if Invisalign is right for you.

Step 2 – Create a 3-D image of your teeth

 

We will take x-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth, which we will use to create a digital 3-D image of them. From these images, we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth.

Using this same technology, the doctor will even be able to show you a virtual representation of how your teeth will move with each stage of treatment.

Step 3 – Receive your custom aligners

 

Based on your individual treatment plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners is then created specifically for you. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, BPA-free plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional metal braces often do. Simply wear them throughout the day, and remove them when you eat or brush and floss your teeth. As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth gently and gradually begin to shift into place. And because they’re virtually invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Step 4 – Wear a new aligner every two weeks

 

Approximately every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners, advancing you to the next stage of your treatment. To monitor your progress, you will also have occasional checkups with your doctor, usually only every six weeks or so. At every stage, you will be able to see how much closer you are to having a smile that reflects the real you.

How long will teeth alignment treatment last?

 

While every case is unique to each patient, treatment typically takes approximately a year for adults. For teens, the length of treatment is comparable to that of braces, but since your teeth won’t be covered by wires and brackets, you’ll be able to see improvement much sooner. For best results and a timely outcome, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, throughout your entire treatment.

HIGHLIGHTS

 

  • Having a confident smile can change everything and Invisalign makes the decision easy, because you can get a stunning smile without most people even noticing you’re going through treatment. So start on the right track today, and find out more about Invisalign.
  • Dr. HQ is one of the pioneers in the field of teeth alignment and creating beautiful smiles.
