Everything I have had done at Premier Smile Center has been top-notch. The treatment I received was thorough, precise and extremely professional. I never felt like just another patient because they took the time to listen to my concerns. They addressed my issues and we agreed on the treatment plan together.

The staff is very friendly, warm and extremely knowledgeable. I felt relaxed and comfortable knowing I chose the right place to get the dental work I needed. Dr. Johnson is very humane and very knowledgeable, and she does amazing work. I like the friendliness and honesty of the whole practice. I was not confident with my smile, in fact I was very self conscious and rarely smiled. Premier Smile Center has changed all that. My smile is one of the things I like the most.

I was terrified to receive a root canal, but I knew it had to be done. After meeting with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Bui, I felt better about the procedure. They educated me on the process. I was comfortable and had no pain—which was my biggest worry. I love coming to the office. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. The doctors and staff educate you on what they are doing and why it is needed.

The dentist was a place I visited only when I desperately needed to, and now I’m in the office every few months. I don’t live near the office anymore, but as long as they’re there, I will be driving over to Fort Lauderdale. Thanks to Premier Smile Center, I now have healthy, pearly white and almost perfectly straight teeth.

When I first came to the practice, my teeth were in terrible condition. From the beginning to the end of my treatment, Dr. Johnson and her entire practice were outstanding, professional and extremely understanding of my needs. Dr. Johnson is honest and very hands-on, and the practice feels like a family and not a factory. Thanks to Dr. Johnson, I now have a great smile.

Coming to Premier Smile Center was a life-changing experience for me. Although I was a registered nurse, I had the worst teeth ever—a missing tooth, discolored teeth and a crooked smile. Dr. Johnson explained to me in detail how she could give me a beautiful smile. She and her staff have been truly supportive and non-judgmental about my teeth. Dr. Johnson is compassionate, understanding and a joy to talk to, and the staff are friendly, efficient and caring. They encouraged me to go on when I was feeling down, and now I can smile confidently.

The treatment I received has greatly increased my self-esteem. I can smile and laugh unashamedly and join into a group conversation, and not just be a passive listener. I also have better health and nutrition. It is the best investment I have ever made for myself.

Premier Smile Center has always treated me like family, and my experience as a patient of Dr. Johnson’s has been nothing but satisfactory. Dr. Johnson is brilliant, and the practice is clean, friendly and professional. Before I came to the office, the condition of my teeth was depressing. As a result of my treatment, I have more confidence and less anxiety associated with a messed-up mouth.

Clayton
Before coming to Premier Smile Center, I had not been to a dentist in some time. I needed some periodontal work done, fillings and wisdom tooth extractions. What initially struck me was the warm welcome I received from the front office staff, and I had virtually no wait time before I was greeted by Dr. Johnson. She was incredibly professional and explained everything she was doing as she conducted the initial exam. She made her recommendations and scheduled a return visit to repair some fillings and pull two wisdom teeth.

What was truly amazing was that within 24 hours Dr. Johnson herself called to check on me and asked how my experience was. My wisdom tooth extractions went flawlessly, and I experienced very little bleeding and no pain during or after the procedure. Again, Dr. Johnson called me afterward to check how I was doing. I like Dr. Johnson’s warm and sincere concern for her patients, and I also like her professional staff. I am always impressed by the warm, professional nature of everyone in the office.

Daniel
From the moment I arrived at Premier Smile Center over a year ago, Dr. Johnson and her entire staff have been amazing. Needless to say, anytime you have a cosmetic procedure done there will be nerves and lots of questions. Within minutes into my initial consultation, these concerns subsided. Unlike other dental practices I have been to, Dr. Johnson took her time and explained what I should expect from beginning to end with Invisalign. I continue to receive compliments on my smile every day. I love it! I have already and would recommend her again to anyone I know. A huge thank you to Dr. Johnson and the Premier Smile Center staff for making my experience fabulous!

How to Clean and Care for Invisalign Aligners - Premier Smile Center Shows You How

Before starting Invisalign, the thought of multiple daily cleanings of the trays can seem daunting. Once you establish a habit, though, the routine is easy to maintain, and you will discover it’s not as labor-intensive as you first thought. Your Invisalign team at Premier Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale is always ready to help when it comes to the best ways to clean and care for Invisalign aligners.

Why Cleaning Invisalign Trays Is So Important

One of the biggest reasons people love Invisalign is because the trays are clear. They’re hard to see and you can straighten your smile without anyone really noticing. If you neglect to clean your aligners, that will no longer be the case.

Avoid negative side effects: Without regular cleanings, those super-thin, super-clear plastic trays will become discolored, stained, and may even start to smell.
Every day matters: It may seem like a waste of time to clean aligners that will only be worn for about two weeks, but each day contributes to the success of the whole treatment.
Protect oral health: Dirty trays that sit right against tooth enamel for hours at a time – especially if teeth haven’t been brushed and flossed often – can lead to tooth decay.
Avoid interruptions: The last thing anyone wants is to interrupt their orthodontic treatment because they need to get a tooth-colored filling or even gum disease treatment.

Clean and Care 101 for Invisalign Aligners

There is not a lot to do to clean and care for Invisalign aligners. The following tips can keep you in great shape throughout your entire treatment

Do not eat with trays on your teeth: Invisalign is not damage-proof so, if you eat with them in your mouth, you could easily crack the aligners. Any food that builds up on the trays will also lead to odors, bad breath, and lack of desire to wear the trays as instructed.
Do take aligners out to eat: You can eat whatever you want when you wear Invisalign, but only if you remove the trays first. Otherwise, that invisibility factor will disappear because food debris and drink coloring will show up on the aligners.
Do clean the trays regularly: Invisalign is low-maintenance. Soak the trays daily with cleaning tablets and rinse and brush them every time you remove them from your mouth. These minimal efforts keep your teeth healthy and treatment on track.
Do use your case: Carry your Invisalign case with you so you can stash the trays safely if you need to remove them. Your case is always safer than storing the aligners in a napkin, pocket, or bag temporarily.

Develop a Daily Invisalign Cleaning Ritual

There is no way around it – you must clean Invisalign aligners daily, just like you clean your teeth daily (hopefully twice a day, if not more). This small effort will contribute helpfully to the progress of your treatment and leave you with aligners that maintain their invisibility and straighten your teeth the way they’re supposed to – discreetly.

Here is the easiest way to clean and care for Invisalign aligners:

Scrub: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, unscented soap to remove plaque, saliva, and food particles that have collected on the trays.
Soak: Use the recommended Invisalign crystals or tablets to soak the aligners regularly.
Schedule: Establish and stick to a routine that fits into your daily schedule. Adding Invisalign to your usual oral hygiene routine means you’ll never forget this critical task.
