More and more people are looking into Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® at our Miami orthodontic office because of the many advantages these systems have over traditional braces. Whereas traditional braces rely on brackets and wires to help straighten crooked teeth, Invisalign® uses clear plastic aligners which are virtually invisible to others. These removable aligners allow people to eat their favorite foods and to clean their teeth as usual. This means Invisalign® patients receive all of the benefits of traditional braces with none of the hassles.

Yet it needs to be noted that Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® are not for everybody. In some cases, braces or other orthodontic treatments will be better suited to meet a patient’s needs than Invisalign® or Invisalign Teen®. Let’s briefly look at who makes a good candidate for Invisalign Teen® right now. But please note: in order to find out if Invisalign Teen® is right for you, you should visit our Miami orthodontics office for a full consultation.
In general, most teenagers who have issues with crooked teeth or unevenly spaced teeth are good candidates for Invisalign Teen®. Crowding and wide gaps between teeth and misalignments can all be gradually realigned with Invisalign Teen®.
While Invisalign Teen® used to be unable to address overbites, underbites, and crossbites, many skilled Invisalign® providers can address these dental problems to some degree using Invisalign Teen®. Dr. Stephen Grussmark is an Elite Premier Provider of Invisalign®, which places him in the top 1% of Invisalign® providers worldwide. During your consultation, he will use his extensive expertise to determine and design the proper treatment plan for you.
If you have an orthodontic problem that involves issues with the jawbone, the jaw joint, bone structures, or other parts of the mouth, Invisalign Teen® may not be the best solution. That said, however, Dr. Dykman will look into all possible treatment options to help you meet your dental health needs.
Since it’s not possible for us to assess your full situation online, we encourage you to visit our orthodontic office in Miami for an Invisalign Teen® consultation. The entire team here at Grussmark Orthodontics is here to help. Call us today for a free, no obligation consultation with Dr. Dykman.
