What our dental blog covers

Where should I start if I’m new to Invisalign?

Start with what you need to know before getting Invisalign, then read will Invisalign work for me? to see which cases aligners treat well. Invisalign in Miami Lakes explains how treatment works at our office, step by step.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Most people feel pressure for a day or two with each new aligner, not sharp pain. Our dental blog covers when discomfort peaks and what helps and whether aligners can cause headaches.

How do I keep my treatment on track?

Wear time matters most: 20–22 hours a day. Read what happens if you leave aligners out for a day, why changing trays too soon backfires and how attachments help aligners grip.

Is Invisalign better than braces?

For many adults and teens it fits daily life better, but not for everyone. Compare Invisalign and metal braces, read why Invisalign is better than braces for many patients and check the most common myths.

What happens after treatment?

Teeth try to drift back, so a retainer keeps your result. Read do you have to wear a retainer forever after Invisalign? and learn about our orthodontic retainers.

Can I get Invisalign with implants, on top teeth only, or if I grind my teeth?

Often, yes, with the right plan. See Invisalign with implants, treating top teeth only, Invisalign and teeth grinding and which dental issues aligners can fix.

How much does Invisalign cost at All Dental Group?

Our all-inclusive Invisalign case is $4,695, or $3,999 paid in full. It includes the consultation, X-rays, digital scan, every aligner, all visits, one set of retainers and a take-home whitening kit. See Invisalign payment options.

Should I keep my regular checkups during Invisalign?

Yes. Keep your cleanings and exams, usually every six months, during treatment. Aligners make it easy to brush and floss, but plaque trapped under them can still cause cavities and gum problems. See cleanings and exams.

Do you see children too?

Yes. Our general dentists see kids and adults, so families can book together. See children’s dentistry, including a $69 complete checkup for children 12 and under.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call (305) 512-0066. For a toothache, a broken tooth or a knocked-out tooth, our emergency dentist page explains what to do first while you get to us.

Can I pay for treatment over time?

Yes. Patients can apply for financing through CareCredit or Cherry, and we explain fees before any treatment starts.

Do you speak Spanish?

Yes. Our front desk staff and our doctors speak English and Spanish, and our main pages are also available en español.

Is the dental blog a substitute for an exam?

No. Articles on our dental blog are general information for patients. Every mouth is different, so for advice about your own teeth, book an exam with our Miami Lakes dentists.
