Malocclusion is the name of the condition that involves teeth that are crowded or crooked. Otherwise, it is known as a “bad bite”. In some cases, the upper and lower jaws may not meet properly and although the teeth may appear straight, the individual may have an uneven bite.
 
Orthodontics or braces are used to correct this. Is there any worse news for a teen than “you need braces?”
 
Correcting the problem can create a nice-looking smile, but what to do with your child's aesthetic concerns in the mean-time? Invisalign for teens can help in many cases. For teens, they want straight teeth, and as their parent you want to make the best decision, and set them up for a beautiful smile for life.
 
Invisalign Teen takes a modern approach to straightening teeth. With a series of clear aligners that gradually straighten your child’s teeth, Invisalign is comfortable, affordable and effective. By using clear aligners, they can continue brushing and flossing the way they normally do. And without brackets and wires, your teen will have the confidence of a great smile even while their teeth are being treated. To make life easier on you and your teen, each aligner comes with a small, inconspicuous Blue Dot Wear Indicator, which helps you know when they are ready for their next set of aligners.
 
You know your teen, so don’t worry, you get up to six free replacement aligners, because accidents happen.  Contact Dream Smile Dental if you believe your teen may need orthodontic work. Invisalign may be able to help you through those teen years.

We all understand the importance of a first impression. In business, there is no tool like your smile. Invisalign can help adults who need orthodontic aid. You need to feel confident that you look your best.

Often adults will forgo straightening their teeth because metal braces are too disruptive or too embarrassing. In many cases, if Invisalign will work for you, Invisalign can be the answer. Although most adults who straighten their teeth do so for aesthetic reasons, however, there are benefits to overall dental health as well. When teeth are properly aligned, your gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing for the strongest and healthiest teeth and gums.

You can get the same results with metal braces. But why go through that? Invisalign allows you to feel confident throughout the entire process. Adults who need braces lead a different lifestyle than teens. Invisalign accommodates adults and their needs. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when you're wearing them, and removable when you need them to be.

With many dental situations, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you. Invisalign has the flexibility and convenience to fit your life. Contact Dream Smile Dental to see if Invisalign will work for you.

Invisalign can help with many cases from simple to more complex, including crowded teeth and underbites to jaw problems to teeth misalignment.  And they're basically invisible so most people won't even notice you're wearing them.

The dentists at Dream Smile will determine if Invisalign is right for you. If so, we will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth, which Invisalign will use to create a digital 3-D image. With these images we will create a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth. Then a series of custom-made, clear aligners are created specifically for you and your mouth. These are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic.  You wear Invisalign throughout the day, and as you wear them, your teeth gradually shift gently into place.

Similar to braces, in cost, Invisalign also helps with problems like spaced teeth, cross bites, underbites, and crowded teeth. However, there are many advantages to invisalign over braces. While the results are the same, a new and confident smile, when comparing options there are many benefits to invisalign. With invisalign you can eat any foods; the aligners are removable making eating and brushing and flossing easier for better periodontal health; and the smooth comfortable plastic is easier on your cheeks and gums than metal braces. Additionally, there are less office visits than with braces. Invisalign visits range from every 4 to 6 weeks. Contact Dream Smile Dental for a consultation. See if Invisalign is right for you.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field using dental procedures to restore and beautify teeth. It is very popular today and more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental procedures to improve their appearance, comfort and lifestyle.

People see cosmetic dentists for different reasons, one being basic comfort. Whether from accidents or through genetics, your teeth may have been broken or have grown in a way that causes you general discomfort. If orthodontic work has not been successful, or is not possible in some cases, the best alternative for many is cosmetic dentistry.

Others undergo cosmetic dentistry in order to enhance their smile. Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more and more common for the general population. People in every industry and field are turning to cosmetic dentists to get the smile they have always wanted.

Also, seniors are finding that through implants and veneers they can increase the life of their teeth and their overall comfort, and are choosing functional cosmetic dentistry. An alternative to dentures is priceless for many.

Often people do not even realize that their dental work is considered cosmetic. Veneers, bleaching and invisible braces are all part of cosmetic dentistry. There are a number of cosmetic dental procedures available today. Some of the most common are teeth whitening, to restore the normal color of discolored teeth; veneers, which are placed on the outside of a tooth mainly for smile enhancement; and dental implants, which are used to replace missing teeth.

Whether you are interested in cosmetic dentistry for the look or for durability, the dentists at Dream Smile Dental can provide you with excellent care and quality when it comes to veneers, bleaching and invisible braces, or any dental procedure, cosmetic or otherwise.

Americans of all ages are spending more time and money improving their smiles through cosmetic dental work or orthodontics. Some experts attribute our recent attention to orthodontics to more aesthetic, less noticeable treatment options made possible by cutting-edge technology. One of the most popular – and most high-tech – of these innovations is Invisalign.

Invisalign is a method of straightening teeth using a series of clear, almost invisible, removable Aligners. Invisalign combines the doctor’s clinical treatment plan with proprietary 3-D, computer-generated software to make these sets of unique, custom-made Aligners that move teeth in very precise increments.

But Invisalign isn’t the only innovation in dental and orthodontic practices today. Offices like ours are using digital photography and video, chair-side laptops and Internet access, and a host of technology-based products to educate patients about their dentition and engage them in the treatment process.
