Braces Are Not Just For Kids Anymore!

I see many parents come into my office for their children’s orthodontic needs. It is great that these parents are so involved in making sure their children’s teeth are straight, but I would like to take a moment to address their personal dental straightening needs.

Parents, having recently been given the title of Elite Preferred Provider from Invisalign, I am confident that I can help align not only your children’s teeth, but also yours. Perhaps you had at one time considered getting braces yourself but felt you were past the age of getting them. Maybe you feel that you would look awkward with metal braces while working at your office. With Invisalign this is no longer a concern.

Invisalign uses clear aligners that conform to the shape of your mouth and gradually reposition your teeth into the beautiful smile you have always wanted. Simply keep the aligners in your mouth all day and night, removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing. Also, Invisalign can be easily removed for cleaning- something standard wire braces cannot do.

Using our new iTero scanner, we can have you in for impressions and fitted for Invisalign in a matter of weeks. Since all impressions with the iTero scanner are digital, we can have them immediately sent to the Invisalign lab overseas so that you’ll be working on straightening your teeth in much less time that it would traditionally take with the paste impressions.

It’s never too late to have a great smile! If you are interested in getting fitted for Invisalign for yourself, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (618) 288-0600 for our Glen Carbon office or (618) 622-3377 for our Swansea office. We hope you enjoy the rest of the Summer and look forward to seeing you!
