Let Invisalign Teen Help You and Your Child Through Those "Teen Years"

30 Aug

Posted by Joseph Coupal

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.

Cosmetic Dentistry Defined

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.

Advances in Orthodontics, New Technology

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.

Dream Smile Dental is currently having an Invisalign Spring Promotion. If you start full Invisalign treatment and your case is approved by March 25th, you will get $500 off treatment! Call (781) 330-0900 or e-mail us at appointments@dreamsmiledental.com today for more details or to book your FREE Invisalign Screening.

*Screening includes a consultation by the doctor without x-rays. Value $100. Expires 03-20-11.
