Get Your Smile In Line

Invisalign in Fort Pierce at Lucie Dental

When your smile feels even slightly misaligned, it can chip away at your confidence. Many people assume that achieving an even, harmonious smile requires years in fixed appliances or a major sacrifice of time. That's outdated thinking. Teeth respond best to planning, precision, and a modern, high-tech approach. At Lucie Dental, we deliver modern orthodontic care that fits seamlessly into your life. We view straightening your teeth as a crucial step toward boosting your confidence and optimizing your oral health, and it can be done without having to put your life on hold. If you are ready to explore this advanced approach, the clear alternative is Invisalign.

Smart, Clear, Custom

How Does Invisalign Work?

The key difference between Invisalign and old-school braces is the system itself. Instead of fixed metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of completely clear, removable aligners. This entire system is developed by Align Technology, the leader in clear aligner innovation.

The process starts with advanced 3D imaging—we use our high-tech scanners to create a precise digital map of your mouth. This level of detail allows Dr. Azari, an Invisalign-trained doctor, and the team to plot the exact tooth movement, from beginning to end. You even get to see a virtual sneak peek of your finished smile before you start treatment! This digital mapping creates your individual custom treatment plan. Once your plan is worked out, the custom Invisalign aligners are fabricated using SmartTrack material, a flexible, multi-layer plastic designed for maximum comfort and predictable movement. You’ll wear each set of clear aligners for about one week (or as directed by your doctor), gently guiding your teeth into the correct position.

Your Path to Confidence

The Incredible Benefits of Invisalign

Choosing Invisalign to align your smile will pay off in daily comfort and long-term health. Beyond the obvious aesthetic improvement, treatment helps optimize your bite and spacing, preventing future issues like excessive wear and jaw strain. You’re investing in stability and ease.

Nearly Invisible: The Invisalign clear aligners are incredibly discreet—most patients won't even realize you’re wearing them. This is a noticeable advantage over traditional braces.
Total Comfort: The smooth plastic eliminates the irritation and abrasions often caused by metal brackets and wires.
Keep Eating What You Love: Aligners are removed for eating and drinking, so there are zero dietary restrictions.
Easy Cleaning: Simply remove the aligners to brush and floss normally, maintaining optimal oral health throughout treatment.
Predictable Results: Advanced digital planning allows for highly controlled tooth movement and a clear expectation of your final outcome—a truly beautiful smile.

Beyond the Basic Gaps

What Does Invisalign Treat?

At our practice serving patients in Fort Pierce Invisalign is an advanced solution capable of correcting a wide spectrum of common and complex orthodontic issues. It is a highly effective treatment for many cases.

Crowding: When teeth overlap due to a lack of space.
Spacing/Gaps: Undesirable space between teeth.
Overbite: When the upper front teeth overlap the bottom front teeth.
Underbite: When the lower front teeth jut out past the upper front teeth.
Crossbite: When some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
Open Bite: When the upper and lower teeth don't meet, leaving a gap.
Moderate Malocclusion: Many cases considered mild to moderate malocclusion can be successfully corrected with Invisalign treatment.

If you live in Fort Pierce and are unsure if your specific dental issue can be treated, the best answer is a consultation with our experienced team.

Invisalign: A Modern Alternative to Traditional Braces

The reasons patients choose Invisalign clear aligners are consistently linked to quality of life. Traditional braces demand sacrifices: difficult cleaning, restricted diet, and a conspicuous appearance. Invisalign solves these issues. When you consider the flexibility to remove the aligners for important meetings or special occasions, the ability to brush and floss with total ease, and the gentle, wire-free movements, it’s clear why this high-tech system is the patient favorite at Lucie Dental for orthodontic care. This system represents a major step forward in orthodontic treatment. The material used in the Invisalign product type is patented and specifically engineered to apply the right force at the right time. For adults and teens looking to straighten their teeth discreetly, Invisalign is the leading alternative. It’s also a highly proven method, with decades of scientific and clinical research backing its effectiveness.

What To Know Upfront

Considerations for Potential Invisalign Patients

The treatment itself is straightforward, but it requires a commitment to wearing the aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day—the specific wear time will be defined by your doctor. They only work when they're in your mouth!

You’ll need to remove them for every meal, and it's best practice to quickly brush your teeth before putting them back in to prevent staining. While this is a minor adjustment, it is a non-negotiable part of a successful outcome. Our team will coach you on all the best tips and tricks to make compliance seamless with your daily routine. The complexity of your case complexity—whether you have mild alignment issues or need significant correction of your overbite—will ultimately determine your overall treatment times. We will discuss these projections fully during your appointment.

Mapping Your New Smile

Consultation and Preparation

Your journey starts with a free consultation with Dr. Azari, your experienced Invisalign doctor. This is where we listen to your goals and conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. We utilize advanced technology, including our 3-D cone beam scanner, to get a comprehensive view of your entire maxillofacial structure. This allows us to accurately diagnose your needs and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If it is, we take those digital impressions and photos to finalize your personalized custom treatment plan, creating that virtual rendering of your new smile. Preparation is minimal—we simply prepare the digital files and order your custom series of aligners.

Zero Downtime, Maximum Results

The Invisalign Procedure

When we say "procedure," we mean the non-surgical phase of starting your treatment. There is no numbing agent or anesthesia used, as tooth movement is a gradual, non-invasive process. Your first appointment is simply the fitting appointment. We’ll show you how to properly insert and remove the aligners and answer any questions. Sometimes, small, tooth-colored attachments (think tiny bumps) are bonded to certain teeth to help the aligner grip. This is a quick and painless step.

The treatment times vary depending on the individual patient. While some treatment times are short, others dealing with greater case complexity might be longer, depending on your initial condition. After successful treatment, you will move to the final phase: wearing retainers to maintain your new smile.

Transparent Investment

Invisalign Cost

No two smiles are the same, and neither are two Invisalign treatment plans. The total treatment cost is customized based on case complexity, the total number of aligners required, and the anticipated length of treatment. Your treatment cost includes all the necessary components: the initial diagnostic records (3D scan and digital planning), all sets of custom aligners, and follow-up check-in appointments with our experienced team. To make this orthodontic care affordable, Lucie Dental works with most dental insurance plans and offers flexible financing through CareCredit® and our in-house membership plans. We will discuss the final cost during your consultation.

Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions

Does the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) endorse clear aligner treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontists recognizes clear aligners as an effective treatment option when supervised by a trained orthodontist or dentist. Dr. Azari is a certified Invisalign doctor who combines the latest technology with personalized oversight to create your predictable treatment plan.

Is Invisalign a better option for adults or for teens and children?

Invisalign is a popular and effective treatment for both adults and teens. The clear visibility is appealing to older patients, while the system, which includes specific product types like Invisalign Teen, is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of children and teens, making it an excellent alternative to traditional braces.

What are my "other options" if Invisalign treatment is not right for me?

If Invisalign treatment is not suitable due to severe case complexity, we can discuss other options for orthodontic treatment, such as traditional braces or specialized procedures. We always work to determine the best path to your new smile during the consultation.

How is the Invisalign treatment cost calculated?

The treatment cost depends primarily on the length and case complexity of your treatment plan. This is why a thorough initial consultation is essential to determine the final cost. We strive to make this affordable through financing and in-house plans.

After I finish my Invisalign treatment, how long do I need to wear retainers?

After achieving your straight teeth, you will need to wear retainers indefinitely to maintain your results. Initially, you wear them full-time, and then transition to wearing them only at night. This is a critical final step of orthodontic care to prevent relapse.

Will my speech be affected while I wear my clear aligners?

You may notice a minor lisp for the first day or two as your tongue adjusts to the aligners. This quickly fades as you get used to the smooth plastic device in your mouth. Many patients find this adjustment period to be very short-lived.

Is the one-week wear schedule guaranteed for all patients?

While many patients can switch to a one-week wear schedule, this is only determined by your Invisalign doctor based on your response to the treatment. Treatment times vary depending on your biological rate of tooth movement and compliance with the 20-22 hour wear time.
