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!

Invisalign Teen - Dr. Johnson Premier Smile Dentistry

Many teenagers wear braces, but that doesn’t make the metal brackets and wires any easier to accept. Invisalign Teen is a welcome, discreet alternative. These clear braces for teenagers eliminate the discomfort and visibility of conventional braces while straightening teeth efficiently. Learn more about whether your teen qualifies from certified Invisalign provider Dr. Charmaine Johnson at Premier Smile Center in Fort Lauderdale.

How Invisalign Teen Works

All types of Invisalign work the same way, moving a few teeth at a time at a consistent pace until complete alignment is achieved. Invisalign Teen is no exception. Here are the basic rules of wearing this orthodontic alternative:

Trays must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Change trays every two weeks or as instructed by your provider.
Clean trays daily and brush and floss teeth before putting the aligners back in place.
Visit your Fort Lauderdale Invisalign provider every six to eight weeks for a check-up and to collect new trays.

Invisalign Teen also has a few elements that are different from conventional Invisalign and are designed specifically with adolescents in mind:

Wear indicators on every tray fade as the aligners are worn, showing that Invisalign Teen is on teeth the proper amount of time.
Eruption tabs are included in trays for patients who still have adult teeth that need to erupt. This feature guides new teeth into their proper position so alignment efforts stay on track throughout treatment.
Patients have six replacement aligners available to them should they accidentally lose, break, or throw away a tray.

Why Many Patients Prefer Invisalign Teen to Metal Braces

Metal braces are a proven success. This orthodontic intervention has created millions of strong, healthy, beautiful smiles for teenagers and will continue to do so. There are, however, some perks Invisalign Teen offers that metal braces do not.

Discreet: Teens appreciate the ability to blend in when they want to and these clear aligners make this possible. The trays are thin, clear, and fit so snugly against the teeth that they are barely noticeable if at all. Smiles, selfies, and social settings will be just as much fun as they always have been. Orthodontic treatment stays secret.
Comfortable: No need to worry about brackets or wires snagging on the lips, cheeks, or gums. Invisalign Teen trays are smooth and easily slide off the soft tissues of the mouth without causing injury.
No restrictions: Crunchy, sticky, and chewy foods are off limits when someone is sporting metal braces if you don’t want to damage the hardware. There are no food restrictions with Invisalign Teen. Trays must be removed for all meals and snacks so teens and their favorite foods will never be apart.
No interruptions: Whether a teen plays a sport or an instrument, whether they’re in theatre or chorus, whether they’re on the debate team or a morning announcer, Invisalign Teen will not get in the way. Clear aligners actually boost confidence and help develop a healthy self-image.

Good Candidates for Invisalign Teen

Every patient is different. Some teens will be ideal candidates for this cosmetic dentistry procedure, others will have more complex misalignment problems that need to be treated with conventional metal braces. There is also the matter of responsibility. While most teenagers wholly embrace Invisalign treatment and take good care of their trays to ensure their progress stays on track, parents know their kids best. There will be a conversation about whether your teen is prepared to wear, clean, and store their aligners properly every single day of their treatment.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Charmaine Johnson, Fort Lauderdale Invisalign provider, to find out if your adolescent is a good candidate for this type of orthodontic treatment.
