Orthodontics |

At Thomas Family Dentistry we have been providing orthodontic care to both children and adults for over twenty five years. We use state-of-the-art technology, like Invisalign, to help you and your family have the beautiful smiles you desire! Invisalign:
The Process:First an impression
is made of your teeth. It is sent to Invisalign who then sends Thomas
Family Dentistry an electronic representation of the proposed treatment,
how long it will take, and what your teeth will look like once the process
is completed. [See Demo Video Clip (6MB) of an example.] Once the course
of treatment is agreed upon by you, and your dentist the process of
adjusting and straightening your teeth begins!

The Benefits of Invisalign: |
|||
 The
Aligner ["retainer"] is removable for good
hygiene. You can brush and floss normally, which can help prevent
tooth decay and gum disease. |
|||
| You can still
eat what you want. Because the "Aligners" (retainers)
are removable you don't have to worry about what you eat. |
|||
| There is
no metal to irritate your mouth. Some orthodontic appliances,
like braces, can cause temporary gum inflammation. With Invisalign there
is a decreased risk of lost braces, broken wires, or allergies to metal. |
|||
| Cleanings
are quicker and easier than will traditional orthodontics. |

Invisalign
uses clear aligners (retainers) to move and straighten your teeth. Because
the retainers are clear, they are virtually invisible to others. No
longer will you need to have wire braces on your teeth. No longer will
there be a burdensome cleaning process. Wire braces are all things of
the past!
