Invisalign at Swords Orthodontics - when you don't want to wear braces, but you do want a nicer smile

You might have heard about Invisalign on TV or Radio - they even sponsored a comedy channel at one stage. This is a new approach to straightening teeth to give you a nicer smile. Instead of attaching braces to your teeth directly, a computer makes a series of almost invisible removable appliances (called "aligners") that you can take in and out as needed and they move your teeth to a better position.

You wear these aligners in a special sequence, and they move your teeth. The great thing is that you can take them out to eat, to clean your teeth, and for special occasions, but the rest of the time, the great thing is that they're practically invisible - hence the name.

Not everyone can provide Invisalign treatment - you have to be trained at an approved course to do it, and then you'd be expected to keep up your training at refresher courses. At Swords Orthodontics, we've been certified to provide Invisalign since 2008, and Dr Murray, our Invisalign-providing orthodontist, regularly attends Invisalign study groups in person and online training (webinars) too. We even had one of the international directors of the Invisalign company drop into the practice in January for a morning of tutorials and discussion on planning treatment for patients.

And of course, since Swords Orthodontics is a specialist orthodontic practice where the orthodontists have always been registered with a specialist qualification as well as a general dental qualification, you can be sure that you can discuss all the treatment options that are suitable for you, including alternatives if Invisalign is not suitable.

So if you're looking for Invisalign treatment, particularly in North County Dublin, call us today on 01 810 7622 to find out how we can help you.

Your call is important to us....

...please hold until it ceases to be important to you.

I had reason to call my new broadband provider yesterday. I was looking through my bank statement and there was a direct debit for far more than I expected.  I checked the previous month – same. Some mistake? Maybe I was mistaken so I got out the contract and looked for small print or hidden costs to my introductory offer. Nope, there was supposed to be 12 months of reduced fees and it was supposed to start 2 months ago.

There was nothing for it but to call them. That meant looking up online to find an ...

Scene and Heard Productions: Up The Déise

Nothing really to do with orthodontics for today’s post, just an out of the blue mention for an organisation that might be of interest to you.

It popped out of the blue when it came to my attention – as an orthodontic practice in Ireland, Swords Ortho has to comply with a wide variety of regulations (employment law, infection control, dental certification, fire safety compliance, general health and safety, waste management, X-ray equipment compliance, disability access, continuing professional development and so on).  

To help us stay on top of things, we have a small army of advisors and contractors who come and go behind the scenes ...

Another lost orthodontic brace

I replaced a removable brace for a guy yesterday, he’d lost his brace a couple of weeks ago.

Me: “What happened to the brace?”

He: “Well I went for a walk with my friend, and when I got home, the brace was missing.”

This was delivered with a completely straight face. So my advice is that there’s only two places in the universe that it should be:

  1. Your mouth
  2. Your brace box

Nowhere else.

The brace box should be marked with a name and phone number that can be used to get it back to you if it’s lost and recovered by someone else.

And a removable brace isn’t working when it’s removed.
