Clear Aligners in Davie offer a low-profile way to straighten teeth for teens and adults who want fewer office visits and less hardware. At Grosman Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we plan treatment around family schedules, and we explain each step in clear language. If you prefer an alternative to metal braces, aligners use a series of custom trays to move teeth over time while you go about your daily life. We can also provide Virtual Consult options for busy families and offer flexible appointment times to fit school and work routines.
What Is A Clear Aligner?
A clear aligner is a removable, transparent tray made from smooth medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over teeth. We begin with a digital exam and X-rays to map tooth positions and set realistic goals. Each tray represents a small change; you wear a tray for about 20 to 22 hours per day for roughly 2 weeks, then switch to the next tray. Aligners correct mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and some bite issues. After active treatment, retainers help hold results. During the consult, we can review before-and-after examples and discuss realistic timelines so families know what to expect.
Clear Aligners in Davie: How Treatment Works
We start by taking records, photographs, and a 3D scan to analyze tooth position and jaw relationships. Using that information, clinicians design the movement sequence and plan the number of trays. You’ll wear aligners most of the day and remove them for eating and brushing. We schedule regular checkups to confirm movement and make refinements when teeth need extra guidance. Small attachments or power ridges occasionally support tricky movements. Good compliance and daily cleaning help speed results and reduce staining. We provide tips and a case for storing trays. We discuss realistic timelines and show progress markers so families know what to expect at each visit.
