Invisalign® in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

The Science Behind Your Smile

Invisalign aligners are primarily made from SmartTrack, a thermoplastic material specifically engineered for orthodontic treatment. This ensures maximum comfort while providing the consistent forces necessary for effective tooth movement. Each aligner is custom-fitted to your unique dental structure, a process meticulously overseen by Dr. Ajmo to ensure a snug fit that maximizes effectiveness and contributes to your desired cosmetic outcome.

Precision and Predictability: iTero Scanning in Invisalign Treatment

The Invisalign treatment process at PGA Dentistry begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which our Palm Beach Gardens cosmetic dentist utilizes advanced technology such as the iTero scanner. This state-of-the-art digital scanning device creates a precise 3D model of your teeth and gums, allowing Dr. Ajmo to develop an accurate and cosmetically-focused treatment plan. The iTero scanner eliminates the need for uncomfortable traditional impressions, making the initial process more comfortable and efficient. This technology also enables Dr. Ajmo to show you a digital simulation of your expected results, allowing you to visualize your future smile and understand the transformative journey ahead.

The Foundation of Your New Smile: Initial Consultation and Digital Impressions

Your Invisalign journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Ajmo. During this vital first step, he will thoroughly evaluate your dental health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and understand your vision for your smile. Following this assessment, precise digital impressions are taken using our advanced iTero scanner. This creates a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth, which is crucial for our Invisalign provider to develop a customized treatment plan. This plan meticulously outlines the expected movements of your teeth, ensuring every step is geared towards achieving your ideal cosmetic result.

Guided Progress: How Dr. Ajmo Monitors Your Aligners and Adjusts Treatment

Patients are required to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and oral hygiene. Throughout your treatment, Dr. Ajmo schedules regular check-ups, typically every 6 to 8 weeks, to meticulously monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your treatment stays on track. As you consistently wear your aligners, you will gradually notice your teeth shifting into their desired, beautifully aligned positions, culminating in the straighter, more confident smile you’ve always wanted.

The Timeline

How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners each day?

For optimal results, Dr. Ajmo recommends wearing your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is crucial for your teeth to shift effectively and for your treatment to stay on schedule.

Can Invisalign fix all types of orthodontic problems?

While Invisalign is highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, some extremely complex cases may still be better suited for traditional braces. During your initial consultation, Dr. Ajmo will thoroughly assess your specific condition and advise if Invisalign is the most appropriate and effective treatment path for your unique smile goals.

What should I do if I lose or break an Invisalign aligner?

If you lose or break an Invisalign aligner, it’s important to contact PGA Dentistry immediately. Dr. Ajmo’s team will guide whether you should wear your previous set of aligners, move to the next set, or if a replacement aligner needs to be ordered. Prompt action helps prevent delays in your treatment progress.
