The subtle way to straighten your teeth.
When it comes to first impressions, a bright and cheerful smile can go a long way, making those around you feel welcome, and displaying an air of confidence.
Some of us, however, feel shy and self-conscious about our smiles due to imperfections like crooked teeth, wide gaps, or other alignment issues.
Perhaps you’ve considered braces in the past, but the cons of traditional braces seemed to outweigh the benefits. Not only are traditional braces unsightly, they can also cause pain, gum irritation, staining or discolouration, and even restrict you from eating some of the foods you love. As appealing as that beautifully straight smile might be, this seems like a high price to pay.
Luckily, modern advances in dentistry have finally introduced another option, Invisalign. Dr. Hoffenberg and his friendly staff are ready to help you on your path to a big and confident smile with this modern and discreet approach.
A Popular Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign is the modern, 21st-century approach to a straighter smile. Made from BPA free thermoplastic, each clear aligner is created from a custom mould of your teeth, assuring the perfect treatment for your circumstances. The nearly invisible aligners snap into place over your teeth, gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position.
Unlike braces, Invisalign is removed when it’s time to eat, allowing you to continue eating your favourite foods. Simply remove the trays before eating, then brush your teeth and replace them afterwards.
Every two weeks, you will receive a new set of aligners to keep your progress on track. This eliminates the traditional practice of tightening wires to move your teeth, making the process easy and relatively painless. Each new set of trays you receive are custom made for your teeth and your needs. You’ll be able the see your results as your treatment progresses!
Benefits of Invisalign
Aside from the obvious cosmetic factors, straighter teeth are also healthier teeth! Tooth alignment can have a big impact on your oral health, alleviating gum and jaw issues as well as preventing future dental issues. Crooked teeth can create crevices and hiding places for bacteria to form, contributing to cavities or possibly even gum disease!
- Happy and healthy gums. No room for plaque and tartar to hide.
- Makes cleaning easier and more effective.
- Keep your mouth healthy.
- Lower your risk of injury or damage because of protruding teeth hitting something or causing sores inside your cheeks.
Getting Used to Invisalign
When you first start your treatment, it will take a little time to get used to having the aligners in your mouth on a regular basis. After a while, you won’t even notice they’re there! You’ll be wearing them for about 22 hours a day, taking them out for eating and cleaning.
New Aligners and Regular Checkups
You’ll receive a new set of aligners every two weeks. Each new set of aligners will continue your progress, bringing your teeth closer to your goal bit by bit. You may experience mild discomfort when first changing to a new set of aligners. This is normal, and most people find the discomfort eases over time.
Post-Treatment
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll receive a final set of aligners. These will be designed to keep your teeth in place for the months and years following the Invisalign process: simply wear them every night, and clean them out every morning for a winning smile for years to come!
Keep your retainer clean because bacteria can easily get inside your retainers and later infect your teeth. Use a soft toothbrush with soap and water to clean your retainer.
Make sure to come in for your regular check and clean every 6 months. At that time, we’ll check to make sure there are no issues.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A great looking smile can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. Dr. Hoffenberg has extensive training and experience in the art of cosmetic dentistry and can create a personalised treatment plan to give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile you’ll love. In cases where a single cosmetic procedure will not create the results you desire, he can combine numerous procedures and give you a personal smile makeover plan. These services include:
Invisalign
Invisalign straightens your teeth without wires and brackets using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It’s virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know you’re straightening your teeth. Whether you have a crossbite, overbite, underbite, or issues with the spacing of your teeth, schedule a FREE Smile Assessment with Dr. Hoffenberg and find out how Invisalign can straighten your teeth at a price you can afford.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth may lead to an unsightly smile, lack confidence and the avoidance of many types of foods. Traditionally, the only treatment options to replace missing teeth were dentures or bridges. Today, many patients turn to Dental Implants to replace missing teeth*. With its proven track record, you can feel confident in making the move to replace troublesome dentures with a lasting solution, a stronger bite, and a beautiful smile. Whether you need a single implant or several implants, Dr. Hoffenberg can help.
