Let's Talk About Invisalign.

     I haven’t seen patients this excited about dentistry in a long time.

Invisalign is a relatively new form of straightening smiles, yet it’s been around long enough to achieve real technological progress.  Within the past year Invisalign Assist technology has made vast improvements in order to benefit a wider range of patients and teeth issues.  Just a few of the advancements include:

1. Ability to achieve anterior teeth extrusions and canine rotations and perform lingual root torque when up-righting retroclined upper incisors.  In other words, patients who may have previously needed braces can achieve the same or better results with Invisalign.

2. A way for doctors to accurately track smile-straightening progress to ensure the desired outcome.

3. Feature enhancements that make routine appointments go faster, smoother, and easier for patients.

      I had several patients who I initially told that Invisalign wouldn’t do for their cases and       that they needed braces.  But it turned out Invisalign could work for them very, very        well.

This is good news, for several reasons.  First, a straighter smile is a healthier smile.  For example, straighter teeth tend to have tighter gums, which reduce the risk of periodontal disease.

Second, Invisalign is often preferred to braces as a method of smile beautification, because patients find it easier to floss, brush, chew, and speak with Invisalign than braces.  Not to mention the appeal of the clear, inconspicuous tray versus the clunky metal brackets.

All this means more patients are seeing more results, through more user-friendly means.
