Invisalign: Clear & Comfortable Smile Straightening
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth gradually into place. At Gio Aldama Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, Dr. Gio plans and monitors your treatment personally, from the first scan to your final retainer. We welcome patients from Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, South Miami, Pinecrest and the surrounding Miami area, in English or Spanish.

Why Invisalign
Why patients choose Invisalign
- Clear: The aligners are practically transparent, so most people won’t notice them.
- Comfortable: Take them out to eat, brush and floss, so there are no food restrictions and cleaning is easier than with braces.
- Planned: You see a digital plan of your tooth movement before you commit.
- Fewer metal-related irritations: There are no brackets or wires to poke your cheeks.

How Invisalign Works
How Invisalign works at our Coral Gables office
- Consultation. Dr. Aldama reviews your teeth, gums and bite, and discusses your goals.
- Digital scan and treatment plan. We take a digital scan instead of messy impressions. You see the planned tooth movement and the expected timeline.
- Your custom aligners. You receive a series of aligners made for your teeth. Most people wear each set for 2 weeks and keep them in 22 hours a day.
- Check-ins. We see you every 3 months to confirm your teeth are tracking and adjust the plan if needed.
- Finishing and retainers. Once your teeth reach their target positions, you get retainers to hold the result. Retainers are not optional, because teeth drift back without them.
Invisalign FAQs
How long does Invisalign take?
Invisalign FAQs
It depends on the case. Mild crowding or spacing may take around 6 months, while complex cases can take longer. On average, what traditional braces do in 2 years, clear aligners with Invisalign does it in 9 months. Dr. Aldama will give you an estimate time of treatment after your exam, and wearing the aligners as directed is the biggest factor in staying on schedule.
How much does Invisalign cost in Coral Gables?
Cost is simple. No matter the case or the complexity, the associated fee for Invisalign clear aligners is $4,997. Many dental plans include orthodontic benefits, and our team will check yours.
Is Invisalign painful?
You’ll likely feel pressure or tenderness for a few days when you start a new set of aligners. It is usually mild and fades quickly. Most patients that have had traditional orthodontic braces before make a comment that clear aligners are way better than the discomfort and pain associated with braces.
Am I a good candidate?
Invisalign works well for many cases of crowding, gaps and bite issues. Some complex cases may need other treatment, and Dr. Aldama will tell you honestly which fits you. Teens and adults can both be candidates.
What if I forget to wear them?
Results depend on consistent and compliant wear. Missing hours can delay treatment or require extra aligners. We’ll go over a wear routine with you, including what to do when you eat out or travel.
Do I need a retainer afterward?
Yes. Retainers keep your teeth from shifting back after treatment. Our main phrase for retainers is “nighttime for a lifetime”. Pro tip: your retainers serve as custom whitening trays.
Can I eat and drink normally?
You can drink whatever you want with the aligners, but should be removed when eating food.
Do you offer Invisalign in Spanish?
Yes. Dr. Aldama and our team can walk you through your plan in English or Spanish.
