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.

Halloween & your brace

Halloween is a fun & exciting time of year for many kids but having braces on can make it more challenging. While it may be tempting to eat lots of sweets, chocolate and chewy treats, some of these can damage your braces, such bending the wires and getting stuck between your teeth.

Hard, sticky and chewy sweets are especially tricky as they can break a bracket or cause a wire to poke out which results in a trip to your orthodontist.

Luckily, there are still plenty of Halloween treats you can still enjoy such as chocolate and crisps. Taking extra care …

What's Dracula's IOTN? Scary Teeth in fiction and the facts behind them

So, it's Halloween soon, and I thought I would do a little blog about scary teeth.

I'm going to focus on teeth that have some kind of connection to real life, rather than total monster teeth, because monster teeth could cover any kind of stretch of the imagination, and since I love to ramble on about teeth we could be here all day. I mean, that monster in the Predator movies, I think it's the Yautja, or Hish-qu-Ten or some sort of name like that, has a very interesting kind of dental setup where the jaw moves sideways as well as up and down when …
