Are you dissatisfied with or embarrassed by the appearance of your smile? Modern orthodontics now offers more solutions for straightening teeth than ever before and patients have the option to correct misalignment with less invasive options than bracket-and-wire metal braces. At our office in Stuart Invisalign and ClearCorrect orthodontics are offered for mild to complex malocclusion. These two versions of removable clear aligners subtly straighten teeth with near-invisibility and with greater comfort and convenience than traditional braces. Acclaimed Stuart cosmetic dentist Dr. Michael Sohl plans each treatment with the end result in mind to ensure that your teeth not only straighten correctly, but provide a beautiful, balanced smile when treatment is complete.
Our clear aligner orthodontic treatment is ideal for any compliant patient with mild to complex crooked teeth. For our teenage patients, colored indicators are added to the aligners to ensure wear time remain between 20 and 22 hours each day. Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect clear aligners are removable, allowing our patients to maintain proper at-home oral health care and the ability to eat an unrestricted diet. We provide personalized consultations and treatment plans for each of our patients, creating a series of custom clear aligners that are swapped out every two weeks.
This way, you can be sure your orthodontic care will be tailored to your own teeth, providing the most aesthetic and beneficial results in less time than with traditional braces. Clear aligners like Invisalign can correct the following:
While one of the biggest benefits of orthodontics is a visible, beautiful smile, straightening teeth can also improve oral health and function.
Aligned teeth make brushing and flossing easier and much more beneficial. With better maintenance of oral health, the risk for tooth decay, gum recession, or gum disease is significantly reduced. But most importantly, Dr. Sohl of Stuart, FL provides orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign that gives a boost to your confidence by providing you with a healthy and aesthetic new smile! We strive to provide you with the best Invisalign treatments Stuart has to offer, so call our office today to set a consultation appointment.
Invisalign® aligners offer a modern way to straighten teeth without the hassle of brackets and wires. They're clear, custom-made, and fit into your daily life with ease. Why patients love Invisalign:
Invisalign isn’t just about having a straighter smile—it also helps correct bite problems and spacing issues that can affect your overall oral health. Here’s what it can help with:
Both Invisalign and traditional braces are proven ways to straighten teeth, but they go about it in different ways. The right choice depends on your needs, lifestyle, and how much correction your smile requires.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to fit over your teeth. They're nearly invisible when worn, and most people find them easy to get used to. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, which makes it simple to keep up with your routine. There are no brackets or wires, so there's less irritation and fewer office visits for adjustments. Invisalign works best for mild to moderate alignment issues and for people who are committed to wearing the aligners as directed.
Braces use a system of brackets and wires that are bonded to your teeth. They're visible, and they stay in place until treatment is complete. That means you'll need to avoid certain foods and take a little extra time to clean around the hardware. On the plus side, braces are very effective for more complex cases, including major bite correction or significant crowding. Your orthodontist can also make small, hands-on adjustments along the way, which can be helpful if your treatment needs to shift over time. During your consultation, Dr. Sohl will walk you through both options and help you decide what makes the most sense for your smile.
If your teeth are generally healthy and you’re dealing with crowding, spacing, or a bite issue, there’s a good chance you’re a candidate for Invisalign.
It works best for teens and adults who have all of their permanent teeth in place. One key part of success with Invisalign is being consistent. You’ll need to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, brush, or floss. If that sounds doable, then you’re likely a great fit. If you’ve got active gum disease, severe misalignment, or other dental issues that need to be addressed first, we’ll talk through your options during your consultation.
The first step is scheduling a consultation with Dr. Sohl. This visit gives us a chance to see what’s going on with your teeth and talk about what you’re hoping to improve. Here’s what usually happens:
Before starting, it helps to keep your teeth and gums in great shape. Brush and floss daily, and take care of any existing dental issues first—like fillings or gum treatment. If you're ready to move forward, we’ll order your first set of aligners and get you started.
The treatment itself is pretty straightforward. Once your aligners are made, you’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks before switching to the next. Each new set is slightly different, helping to guide your teeth into their ideal positions over time.
You’ll come in every six to eight weeks for quick check-ins so we can track your progress and give you the next sets. Most treatments take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on how complex the case is. There’s no drilling, no numbing, and no pain involved—just a consistent routine and a little patience.
When treatment wraps up, we’ll provide a retainer to help keep your teeth in place long-term.
Most patients achieve smile perfection within a year or two.
Nicely aligned teeth can transform your appearance and your life. After perfecting your smile with Invisalign, you can flash your smile with confidence, attracting success to your life like a magnet.
Nothing can stop you from achieving greatness when you feel great about how you look. To maintain your Invisalign results, Dr. Sohl will suggest wearing a retainer to keep your teeth looking as good as they did the day you stopped wearing Invisalign.
The price of Invisalign varies depending on how complex your case is and how long your treatment takes. Every smile is different, so Dr. Sohl builds a plan around your exact needs. Your total cost typically includes:
Some dental insurance plans cover Invisalign the same way they would traditional braces. We also offer flexible payment plans to help make treatment more affordable.

Many patients prefer Invisalign to metal braces because they are more discreet and comfortable to wear.
Yes. As with any orthodontic treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting. Dr. Sohl will provide instructions on how and when to use the retainer.
It is easy to keep Invisalign trays clean using Cleaning Crystals. Simply stir the crystals into a glass of warm water, then soak both aligners in the solution for 15 to 30 minutes. It would be best if you cleaned them at least once a day.
For best results, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. You’ll take them out to eat, brush, and floss—but the rest of the time, it’s important to keep them in so your teeth stay on track.
It’s normal to feel a little pressure or mild soreness when you start a new set of aligners. That just means they’re working. Most patients find the feeling goes away after a day or two.
