What Braces? Straighten Your Teeth Stealthily With Invisalign!


The lazy days of Summer are here! Baseball fans are cheering for their favorite teams, summer vacations are winding down, and kids can’t believe school will be starting just around the corner.
So, what other big events happen in the summertime? Hmmm… how about weddings?
That’s right – everywhere around the nation, brides-to-be are looking for that one special dress to wear down the aisle and make them feel like the most beautiful woman in the world on their special day.
But once the dresses, outfits, shoes, and accessories are all selected and readied for the big day or the big night, there’s nothing left to worry about, right? Well, not if you wear braces or have crooked teeth!
What’s the big deal about braces anyway? We’ve got one word for you – PICTURES.
Everyone will be snapping pictures, whether you’re the bride or groom, the bridesmaid, or even the mother of the bride. Naturally, you want to look your best for this special occasion, no matter what your role. So what’s a person to do?
Lucky you! We have the perfect solution for all of your woes!
Invisalign is a great way to correct crooked teeth issues in a nearly invisible way! It’s perfect for weddings and any other upcoming special events.
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that help in straightening your teeth. It is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and provides an esthetic alternative to traditional braces.
Why on Earth would you want Invisalign? Well, not only are the aligners invisible, but they are also removable. That means you can drink and eat what you want while you’re undergoing treatment, and even brushing and flossing your pearly whites is no longer a problem! Besides, these aligners are comfortable, and there’s no metal to cause mouth abrasions during your treatment!
Oh, and by the way - no metal and wires typically means that you’ll be spending less time at your doctor’s office getting adjustments.
So how does Invisalign work? You wear each set of your aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Your teeth will shift little by little each week when you go through each aligner until they have finally straightened into the final position that Dr. Jeff has prescribed. You’ll visit your favorite orthodontist (Dr. Jeff, of course) every 10 weeks to ensure that your treatment is going according to plan.
If you’re thinking about using Invisalign to improve your smile, Dr. Jeff is the right person to go to. He has treated hundreds of patients with Invisalign and is the most experienced providers in this area (in fact, he was the VERY FIRST Invisalign Teen provider in the Metro St. Louis area!). His expertise with the Invisalign system will ensure that your treatment results will be top notch!
