In the past when a patient needed
orthodontics to straighten teeth or correct malocclusion the only solution was
to have braces. Now, Invisalign is a
great alternative to traditional braces. After a complimentary consultation, we
take impressions with our digital scanner. These are then sent to Invisalign
where the aligners are made. A series of clear plastic aligners are worn by
the patient for two weeks at a time until the desired result is achieved. Usually other people cannot tell that someone
is wearing them! Also, they are
removable which makes it easier for the patient to eat and brush their teeth.
Straightening
teeth is about more than a beautiful smile. Crooked teeth can be the cause of
several problems including periodontal (gum) disease if left untreated. In addition, malocclusion (incorrect bite)
can lead to premature wear of teeth, sometimes resulting in tooth loss.
At Lund Dental, we have been
providing patients with Invisalign for over ten years with much success. We have treated patients from teenagers up to
adults resulting in many new beautiful smiles.
Our patients who have had Invisalign have been extremely satisfied with
their treatment. In fact, Dr.Cara, Dr
Lund and several staff members have been Invisalign patients. If this is something you may be interested
in, one of the doctors would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you.
These pictures show two of our patients' Invisalign journey. You can
easily see the amazing results!
