Braces used to be the only way to straighten teeth affected by a bad bite. But now, we have a system called Invisalign that allows us to straighten your teeth without using the brackets and wires of traditional braces.

The patented Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition your teeth. The Invisalign system aligners are more visually appealing than braces. They are also removable, which makes it easier to clean your teeth after eating. The aligners are smooth and comfortable, and they don't irritate your gums, teeth, cheek and tongue. The Invisalign system also eliminates any allergic reactions that you may experience.

Aligners are created and customized from clear molds of your teeth. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks and they are removable for when you eat, drink, and floss.

Every 2 weeks you replace the aligner with the next one in the series. Your teeth move a little at a time until they are straight. Every 6 weeks you come back to see us at Dream Smile Dental so we can make sure your teeth are progressing correctly. Invisalign typically takes 9 to 15 months.

Come on in a see us for a review of your teeth and your lifestyle so we can see if Invisalign is right for you or your teen.

One of your resolutions this New Year may be to get fit, or in some other way improve your appearance. Well if it is more than just your weight or the shape of your body you want to improve, perhaps your smile needs a lift. Cosmetic Dentistry or Teeth Whitening may be an answer for you.

Through teeth whitening, the goal is a natural bright smile, not a startling white smile. The objective of teeth whitening, or other cosmetic dentistry procedures is to have your peers wonder “what has changed” about you.

Your coworkers and your family will ask if you’ve lost weight, have you had your hair done, is that a new outfit?

With less work and less money, you can affect your appearance and instantly have more self confidence than you have ever had. Dream Smile Dental was the first dental office in New England to introduce Laser Teeth Whitening; we have had over 15 years of whitening experience. Rather than attempting over-the-counter whitening methods, you should consult your dentist, because it is possible that bonding or porcelain veneers could be the better solution to your specific case.

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.
