With modern\ntreatments like Invisalign in Fort Lauderdale, it\u2019s easier than ever. But not\nall orthodontic options are created equal! Invisalign can only be done by a\ncertified dentist who oversees the process from start to finish, while services\nsuch as Smile Direct Club are done without professional guidance. Keep reading\nto learn why it\u2019s so worth it to use a reliable, effective method like\nInvisalign to achieve the smile you\u2019ve always wanted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Value of Using Invisalign Instead of Smile Direct Club <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign offers many important benefits over Smile Direct\nClub: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>The\nquality of the impressions and trays<\/strong> \u2013 Your clear aligner trays are made based\non the impressions that are taken, which need to be highly accurate to make\nsure the trays move your teeth correctly. With Invisalign, they\u2019ll be taken by\na dentist who\u2019s been trained to get accurate impressions. With Smile Direct\nClub, you\u2019ll take them on your own.<\/li><li><strong>Invisalign\ntrays are anchored<\/strong> \u2013 Before you get your first set of Invisalign trays,\nyour dentist will put small, tooth-colored attachments on your teeth that hold\nthe trays in place. This also helps them put pressure on the right areas of\nyour smile. With Smile Direct Club, you won\u2019t have this advantage.&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Accountability<\/strong>\n\u2013 If there any issues with your Invisalign treatment, you\u2019ll have a\nprofessional you can speak with who\u2019s accountable for your results. <\/li><li><strong>Professional\nresource<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s not uncommon to have questions or concerns as you move\nthrough your orthodontic treatment. Having a highly-trained dentist available\nto look at your teeth and advise you accordingly is incredibly valuable.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Invisalign Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is a consultation with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortlauderdalesmiles.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\">cosmetic\ndentist in Fort Lauderdale<\/a> who can make sure you\u2019re a good candidate and\nthat you\u2019ll get the results you\u2019re after. From there, you can get started in\njust a couple of visits. Here\u2019s what the process is like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>First, precise digital impressions are taken and sent to the Invisalign lab where your trays are made, which usually takes about 3 weeks.<\/li><li>Then you\u2019ll return to pick up your first set of trays and have the tooth-colored\u00a0attachments put on that anchor them in place. <\/li><li>You\u2019ll try your first set of trays in and get instructions for how to wear and maintain them. You\u2019ll also be able to ask any questions you may have before getting started.<\/li><li>You\u2019ll use a new set of aligners about every 2 weeks and come back for a progress visit every 4-8 weeks to pick up additional trays.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, orthodontic treatment is an investment, so you want\nit to be done right the first time. It\u2019s well worth it to have a professional\nguiding the process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortlauderdalesmiles.com\/dr-marc-mingel.html\">Dr. Marc Mingel<\/a>\nis an Invisalign-certified dentist and a graduate of the Tufts University\nSchool of Dental Medicine.
