clear bracesIn our last post, we talked about how important it is to have straight teeth: Not only does having straight teeth improve your confidence, it also leads to improved oral health.

To help patients from Coplay and beyond achieve a straighter smile as discreetly as possible, Dr. Salivonchik offers care with the Invisalign cosmetic braces system.

What Makes Invisalign Different?

Traditional braces move teeth using metal brackets and wires. But Invisalign doesn’t do this. Instead, this revolutionary orthodontic system uses a series of clear, custom-made trays.

Before you begin treatment, Dr. Salivonchik will work closely with you to design every one of the trays that will end up in your treatment kit. Each tray will help guide your teeth into their ideal position over a period of months, until you finally have the straight, beautiful smile you’ve wanted.

As you go through treatment, you’ll wear each aligner in your treatment kit for about two weeks. Because there’s nothing to tighten, you can look forward to fewer office visits. You can also enjoy other benefits, like an unrestricted diet and the ability to remove your trays for brushing and flossing.

Do you want to know if Invisalign is right for you? Call our Coplay office today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Salivonchik. We’re located in Lehigh Valley and serve patients from Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, The Poconos, and beyond.

Why Are Straight Teeth Important?

May 10, 2014

There are at least two answers to this question. The first involves confidence. When you have a straight smile, you feel more confident about sharing it with others. And that’s what everyone wants–to feel confident enough to smile openly instead hiding teeth behind a closed-mouth smile.

Confidence is just one aspect, though. There’s an even more important reason that having straight teeth is important, and it goes back to your oral health. Put simply, straight teeth are easier to clean. Misaligned teeth, meanwhile, create places for bacteria and plaque to hide. And the more of both that you have in your smile, the more vulnerable you are to things like gum disease and tooth decay.

In our next post, we’re going to talk about one of the ways that Dr. Salivonchik can help you enjoy a straighter smile. But in this post, we just want to make you aware of the foundational importance of straight teeth.
