What's really possible with Invisalign?

Are you interested in Invisalign or Invisalign Teen for your child? Are you asking yourself ‘is it the right choice for me’?

Maybe you’ve already had a consultation with a dentist, and you’ve been told that Invisalign can straighten your front teeth, and that’s all that really matters, right?

 

Wrong!

 

Invisalign is a lot more capable than that, in the hands of a skilled Orthodontist.

It is more than possible to correct your bite and improve jaw function with Invisalign.

 

Importance of a good bite

 

Why is this important? You might ask. Over-bites, under-bites, cross-bites and open-bites can cause severe problems if left untreated.

Your jaw muscles are very strong. They generate considerable force as your teeth bite together.

If your bite is not correct, it can pass that force onto your teeth in a way that creates problems.

A bad bite can ultimately loosen teeth, cause teeth to fall out, cause sore ligaments, fracture your teeth, contribute to a receding gum line, cause painful or clicking jaw joints, and lead to agonising headaches and neck pain.

Problems that can cost many thousands to fix in later life.

 

So yes, a proper bite is an important part if a smile for life. You should never let a dentist  tell you thats its not important.

 

We at Your Smile Specialist want you to have a smile that lasts a lifetime.

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.
