I want to know more about Invisalign....

Studies have shown that people with bright, straight healthy teeth demonstrate high self-esteem and radiate confidence. Millions of adults, teens and children have improved their lives and their health by getting their teeth and their bites corrected. But conventional metal braces aren't for everyone. An effective, excellent alternative is Invisalign!

Many patients ask, how does Invisalign work?

Invisalign^® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.

My First Orthodontic Visit!

The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends children see an orthodontist around the age of 7.   The purpose of the visit is for the orthodontist to evaluate the relationships developing between the teeth, jaws and bite (occlusion) and make sure all will continue to develop as they should.  The examination will help determine whether your child may or may not need orthodontic treatment. If no treatment is indicated, your child will be placed on a recall schedule to continue monitoring dental growth and development.

Below are some signs that could indicate your child is ready to see an orthodontist:

Early or late loss of teeth

Difficulty in chewing or biting

Mouth breathing

Finger sucking or other oral habits

Crowding, misplaced, or blocked-out teeth

Jaws that shift, make sounds, protrude or retrude

Speech difficulty

Biting the cheek or into the roof of the mouth

Protruding teeth

Teeth that meet in an abnormal way or don’t meet at all

Facial imbalance

Grinding or clenching of teeth
