Did you know that in the USA, there are more than 2 million each year in orthodontic (braces) treatment? Nearly 7 billion dollars are spent yearly to improve ones smile with braces with 20% being adults. It is more than vanity at play here with many studies pointing to success, confidence and personal satisfaction being link directly to how one feels about their smile.
80-85% of all conventional braces can today be done with invisable aligner treatment. Invisalign™ is not the only company out there manufacturing clear aligners. Companies like ClearCorrect™ and RWB™ are manufacturing aligners. Invisalign™ has made a trajic decision recently to unilaterally decide "compentance" of dentists performing orthodontics based exclusively on how many cases they submit to their company to manufacture. In other words, the tail is trying to wag the dog. Dentists like myself who have decades of experience in all forms of orthodontics see right through this.
If you would like to see what clear aligner treatment can offer you personally, call our office today to get an idea of what can be done. Prices are coming down and it can be a great time to feel more confident in yourself!
Perhaps you are wondering what are dental implants?
Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is places into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are a great way to replace a tooth that has been lost due to periodontal disease, injury or any other reason. Dental implants support a bridge and eliminate the need for a removable partial denture. Dental implants provide support for upper and lower denture, making them more secure and comfortable.
Dental implants are so natural-looking and feeling, you may forget you ever lost a tooth.You know that your confidence about your teeth affects how you feel about yourself, both personally and professionally. You hide your smile because of spaces from missing teeth. Maybe your dentures don't feel secure. Perhaps you have difficulty chewing. If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to smile, speak and eat again with comfort and confidence. Dental implants are teeth that can look and feel just like your own! Under proper conditions, such as placement by a periodontist and diligent patient maintenance, implants can last a lifetime. Long-term studies continue to show improving success rates for implants.
THERE IS GOOD NEWS, WE ARE NOW PLACING IMPLANTS RIGHT IN OUR OFFICE.
