Invisalign® clear aligners offer a removable, discreet approach to planned tooth movement without metal brackets or wires. At COCO Smiles Orthodontics in Miami, Dr. Sibel Eljach uses iTero® Lumina 3D scanning and a complete orthodontic evaluation to determine whether aligners fit your bite, goals, and daily routine.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made, removable trays that guide planned tooth movement over time. Dr. Eljach determines when to change each set and how often progress should be checked. Aligners can be removed for eating and oral hygiene, but treatment depends on following the prescribed daily wear schedule.
At your initial consultation, Dr. Eljach will use the iTero Lumina scanner to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth. This digital scan eliminates the need for messy impression material and allows you to see a simulation of your projected results before treatment begins.
Advanced Training in Complex Cases
Dr. Eljach has completed advanced Invisalign training focused on complex treatment planning and case finishing. Her orthodontic residency and continuing education help her compare aligners with fixed braces and recommend the appliance that appropriately supports the movements required for each case.
Her clinical experience includes treating mild to moderate crowding and spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and more complex alignment issues using Invisalign technology.
Benefits of Invisalign
• Discreet appearance — Clear trays are less noticeable than fixed metal appliances
• Removable design — Aligners come out for meals and oral hygiene
• Digital planning — iTero scanning supports records and appliance design
• No food restrictions from brackets — Aligners are removed before eating
• Progress monitoring— Scheduled visits allow Dr. Eljach to evaluate tracking
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for adolescent patients. The aligners include compliance indicators so parents and Dr. Eljach can monitor wear time, and replacement aligners are available in case any are lost. Many teens prefer Invisalign because it allows them to participate in sports, play instruments, and smile confidently without metal braces.
Your Invisalign Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with a complimentary consultation at our Coconut Grove office. During this visit, Dr. Eljach will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, take digital scans, and determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you. If another option is more appropriate for your diagnosis, she will explain that alternative and why it may fit the treatment goals.
Consultations, X-rays, and parking are free. The team can also explain available insurance benefits and financing options through CareCredit, Cherry, and approved in-house payment arrangements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours a day should Invisalign aligners be worn?
Aligners generally need to be worn most of the day and night, removing them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Follow the wear schedule Dr. Eljach gives you.
Can Invisalign treat every orthodontic problem?
Clear aligners can address many concerns, but they are not automatically the best option for every bite or planned tooth movement. Dr. Eljach will compare aligners with fixed appliances after your evaluation.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse and clean them with the method recommended by the team. Avoid hot water, which can distort the material, and brush and floss before putting aligners back in.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact the office promptly. Dr. Eljach will advise whether to wear a previous set, move forward, or order a replacement based on your treatment stage.
