The Gift of a Beautiful Smile

This holiday season, enjoy the gift of self-confidence when you choose an Invisalign smile makeover. This exciting technology takes the stigma out of traditional braces, brackets and headgear, since it’s designed to adjust your teeth using a series of clear, nearly invisible aligners.

Advantages of Invisalign

Invisalign is considered the “invisible alternative to braces.” Smile and Skin patients who take advantage of this cutting-edge treatment receive a progressive series of clear, thin aligners created especially for their bite. Recommended by Dr. Meola and his team of smile makeover specialists, each Invisalign aligner is designed to expedite orthodontic repairs while offering a number of other distinct advantages.  

1. Shortened treatment time. For many brace wearers, teeth correction can take two years or more, and may include headgear, retainers and a variety of other hardware. Invisalign treatment plans, on the other hand, range from 9 to 15 months, on average. Smile and Skin patients also love Invisalign’s “virtual straightening” technology, where they can view their future smile before they even begin treatment.
2. No-brackets or wires, ever. Perhaps the best part of an Invisalign clear aligner is that there are no wires or brackets to work around when brushing, flossing or chewing. In addition, Invisalign eliminates frustrating stains that tend to remain on teeth after brace removal, so you’ll maintain your white smile before, during and after treatment.
3. Slim, no-bulk design. While they want to straighten their teeth, many clients are concerned about how they’ll sound after receiving their braces. Metal brackets, bands and wires can significantly impact speech—especially while you’re getting used to them. Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, are barely noticeable when properly seated over your upper and lower bite.
4. Improved confidence. At Smile and Skin cosmetic dentistry, we believe in the power of Invisalign not only to correct your teeth, but to boost your self image. To experience the difference for yourself, ask Dr. Meola about Invisalign’s 3-D bite analysis. After thoroughly assessing your orthodontic concerns, our team will customize your aligners and put you on a program that will have you smiling big—in no time.
