Now Offering Invisalign at Theriot Family Dental Care

Posted by nmcclees

Research shows that invisible braces, also known as clear aligners, are as effective in straightening teeth as traditional braces. It is important to note that there are differences in treatment time and duration. There is no single correct way to approach orthodontic treatment. The right method for you depends on your needs and preferences as well as your dentist’s professional opinion.

At Theriot Family Dental Care, our very own Dr. Kaleigh Redhead is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have always wanted a straight smile but are not sure you want to commit to traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners may be the right choice for you.

Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into the proper, straight position as traditional braces do. However, they are almost invisible at a conversational distance, which is where the brand name Invisalign is derived from.

Some advantages of Invisalign over traditional braces are:

-Invisalign is more visually appealing than traditional braces.
-Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional braces.
-Treatment is normally much faster. Invisalign can take as little as six months, while traditional braces can take 2 to 3 years.
-Oral care with Invisalign is simpler than with Traditional Braces because you simply remove the aligners instead of having to work around wires and brackets.

If you are interested in achieving a straighter smile with Invisalign, your first step is to contact our office. We’ll schedule you for a consultation in which we will discuss your needs and decide if this would be a good treatment option for you. We’ll talk you through each step involved as well as the financial commitment. If you decide to move forward, we will schedule you for an exam which will include x-rays and digital impressions of your teeth. This information is then sent to Invisalign who creates your personalized set of clear aligners. You will switch to different sets of aligners as your teeth begin to shift into their desired positions with the guidance of Dr. Redhead.

We’re excited to offer this service, and can’t wait to discuss how we can help you reach your smile goals!
