Invisalign and your oral health, from My Dentists

When considering treatment options, patients often ask our team at My Dentists how Invisalign treatment is so different than traditional braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign our Charlotte office than you may know. Invisalign is a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, and besides straightening your teeth, can improve your oral health. Here’s how:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque and even gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing: Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

What it Means to Work with a Preferred Invisalign Provider

Our staff at My Dentists are proud to be a 2010 Invisalign Preferred Provider, as designated by Align Technology, the company that created the Invisalign system of treatment. Being a Preferred Provider means that we have successfully completed the advanced training needed to treat patients with Invisalign aligners. We have continued experience with a wide variety of Invisalign cases, as we regularly treat patients with Invisalign. We also attend ongoing clinical training classes in order to maintain our qualification as a Preferred Provider in Charlotte, Cotswold and surrounding areas in North Carolina.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, just ask Drs. Stan Michalski, Richard Yeager or Tom Pinnavaia the next time you’re in for an appointment. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page!
