Invisalign

Want to change your smile without traditional braces? Straightening your teeth can be easy and discreet, thanks to Invisalign®. Dr. Gloria Ospina uses this acclaimed orthodontic treatment to move teeth over time with subtle-looking clear aligners. If you want to explore your candidacy for Invisalign treatment, visit us in Coral Gables, FL.

What Makes a Good Invisalign Candidate?

Our team will assess your smile, checking your bite and degree of misalignment. Though you won’t know if you’re a candidate until you visit our office, our dentist typically helps patients with:

Moderate Misalignment

Patients with mild to moderate misalignment will be the best candidates for Invisalign, but Invisalign attachments may be able to help with more substantial cases.

Minor Bite Issues

Invisalign can assist with minor bite issues. However, our dentist has extensive familiarity with Invisalign, so she may have the resources and experience that allow her to address more severe bite issues.

Slight Shifting

Have you straightened your teeth with orthodontics before, but noticed shifting? You can rejuvenate your smile again with Invisalign.

Invisalign Works

Dentists and orthodontists alike prefer Invisalign over other orthodontic treatments because it combines discretion with effective tooth repositioning.

By using multiple sets of custom clear aligners, Invisalign can move your teeth without the noticeable hallmarks of traditional braces. Our dentist is happy to explain the benefits in person during your orthodontic treatment consultation.

We Offer Orthodontic Options

for Patients of Many Ages

Children

If your child is seven or older, our dentist may be able to help them with orthodontic treatment designed to assist with the spacing of their permanent teeth. This method allows us to guide where the teeth grow.

Teenagers

​Instead of struggling with traditional braces, teenagers can receive easier treatment using aligners. Invisalign can allow cavity-prone teens to easily brush and floss their teeth so they can keep bacteria to a minimum during orthodontic treatment.

Adults

Many adults come to us wishing they'd had orthodontic treatment as a teenager, while others have noticed shifting in their teeth after not wearing their retainers. Our dentist provides Invisalign and Invisalign attachments, giving adult patients a lovely smile.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Our board-certified dentist has conducted Invisalign treatment since 2000.

one
Orthodontic Consultation


We'll first assess your candidacy for Invisalign treatment. Along the way, our dentist will get to know you and your goals, so she can truly tailor your care to your unique smile.

two
Treatment Plan

Before you make your decision, we'll explain your case and treatment options. This allows you to know ahead of time how long the process will take and what it will involve.

three
Smile Scans


To make the most accurate clear aligners possible, we will take video-like scans of your smile, including your teeth, bite registration, and gums. Our 5D iTero scans are all quick and digital—a big change from putty impressions that used to be standard for orthodontic treatments.

four
Aligner Creation


Once we have your scans, it's time to make your custom clear aligners using advanced Invisalign technology. This process can take a couple of weeks.

five
Receiving Aligners

 When your aligners are ready, we'll call you back to our Coral Gables dental office. Before you leave, we'll have you test out your first set of aligners. We'll also inform you about aligner care and treatment processes, as well as answer all your questions.

six
Wearing Aligners

The next step is all you. Remember, with clear aligners, the effort you put into wearing them directly impacts your results. You should wear them for at least 22 hours a day, taking them out only for meals, dental care, and the occasional special event.

seven
Follow-Up Visits


Our dentist is detail oriented. She likes to have patients return for a follow-up appointment to make sure they're wearing their aligners correctly and to make any corrections to the treatment plan if necessary.

eight
Regular Checkups


To make sure that your treatment is progressing well, we'll see you for regular hygiene checkups every three months. This allows us to make any changes to your aligners, as well as answer any questions you may have.

What Happens if I Lose an Aligner?

No need to stress! Our dentist advises keeping all your aligners somewhere safe and dry until your treatment is complete. That way, you can just pull out the previous aligner and wear it until we can make a new one.

As incredible as this may sound, the experience was very pleasant and non stressful. If you are afraid of going to the dentist, Dr. OSPINA’s office is the place for you. As soon as you enter the office you feel the calm, pleasant environment. You are welcomed by a professional staff that makes you feel relaxed. Dr. OSPINA’s state of the art equipment can resolve any issue, on site.

Paying for Invisalign

One of the most nerve-wracking parts of visiting a dentist or orthodontist is the cost. We make paying for orthodontics a little easier by explaining the price of clear aligners upfront. Treatment can range from $2,500 to $6,000, depending on the severity of your misalignment and your goals. We can give you an estimate during your consultation. Our Coral Gables, FL, office also features multiple ways to cover your treatment:

Dental Insurance

In some cases, your dental insurance may help with the cost of Invisalign. However, you’ll need to be able to prove that aligners are crucial for your or your child’s health.

Cash or Credit

Patients can pay with cash or most major credit cards, whether they’re supplementing their insurance or covering treatment in full.

Dental Financing

By accepting financing from CareCredit® and Alphaeon® Credit, we take the stress out of visiting our advanced office for orthodontics.
