I had Invisalign done with Dr. Patel, and it was a perfect experience from beginning to end. He was attentive and professional from the initial consultation through to post-treatment.

Clear Aligner Treatment at Smyl Manatee

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made transparent trays to gradually move your teeth according to a personalized treatment plan. Unlike traditional braces, they’re removable, so you can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. We use digital 3D scanning to plan your treatment around your teeth and bite.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are designed to be less noticeable than metal braces, with no brackets or wires. Because they’re removable, you can keep up your normal brushing, flossing, and eating habits while following your prescribed wear schedule.

What Can Clear Aligners Correct?

Clear aligners may address a variety of alignment concerns, depending on the complexity of your case. Your dentist will evaluate your bite before determining whether they’re appropriate for you.

1 – Crowded Teeth

Create more space and improve the alignment of crowded teeth.

2 – Gaps Between Teeth

Close certain spaces between teeth as part of a customized treatment plan.

3 – Crooked Teeth

Gradually move teeth toward a more aligned position.

4 – Overbite & Underbite

Certain overbite cases may be treated with clear aligners depending on their severity and underlying cause.

Some mild to moderate bite concerns may be addressed with clear aligner treatment.

5 – Crossbite & Open Bite

Certain crossbite cases may be treated using clear aligners.

Some open-bite cases may be appropriate for clear aligner treatment.

6 – Orthodontic Relapse

Clear aligners may be an option for patients whose teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment.
