231.893.2915 116 W. Colby Street, Suite 1 Whitehall, MI 49461 A Beautiful Smile There are not many options which can give you truly incredible results, when it comes to precision teeth alignment. It is with our most sophisticated Invisalign treatment that the teeth alignments are done stress free. How does Invisalign work? Starting with the complimentary initial consultation, the White Lake Family Dentistry Invisalign technology makes a 3 dimensional view of your teeth. An image is generated by the computer projecting a virtual treatment plan; the image shows the number of alignments, which will be necessary to straighten your teeth. The Invisalign brace encompasses a tough medical grade plastic. This brace is designed in a way that it moves the teeth incrementally through each phase of the treatment. How long will it take Invisalign to straighten and correct your teeth? On the basis of the outcome of your Invisalign consultation, you will be given a series of aligners to wear for different time spans. You are required to wear aligners in a series of ten to fifteen days or until it is time to wear a new aligner. All in all, it may take 6-12 months for the treatment to be completed.

Today, Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontics technology. When compared to traditional wire and metal braces, Invisalign® offers an abundance of advantages: Almost Invisible There are a lot of reasons, why patients prefer Invisalign® to traditional braces. Primarily, Invisalign®, as the name implies, is transparent, is made out of a tough medical grade plastic and is not as obvious as are the metal braces. At White Lake Family Dentistry, in order to achieve the aim of realigning your teeth, we custom fit a series of clear aligners. These aligners, which are almost invisible, are molded to progressively straighten your teeth into a radiant smile. Better Oral Hygiene It is very easy to maintain your oral hygiene by keeping your teeth free of particles, tooth decay and plaque, with Invisalign®. Unlike metal braces—where it is easy for food particles to become trapped in the metal or bands, Invisalign® does not comprise of any kind of heavy hardware, and these aligners are also removable. With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about setting off other dental problems. Metal braces are well known for intensifying TMJ, speech impediments and encouraging other chewing difficulties. When you opt for Invisalign to straighten your teeth, you won’t have to worry about aggravating other dental complications. The use of traditional orthodontics calls for restricting certain foods; however, the Invisalign® technology will let you eat whatever you want. More importantly, the Invisalign® technology would not disrupt your life in any way. Comfortable and Secure When compared to metal braces, it is reported that Invisalign® is much more comfortable. The invisalign is completely metal-, wire- and rubber band—free; patients have to go through far less dental irritation and call for fewer adjustments or appointments. And at White Lake Family Dentistry, our 3-D computer technology will show you exactly how your teeth are going to look after treatment—giving you much sought after peace of mind that you are going to have the straight teeth that you have always wanted.   Preventative Dentistry    Cleaning, Sealants    Digital X-rays Restorative Dentistry    Fillings, Inlay, Onlay,    Crown    Root Canal Perio    Deep Cleaning, Tooth    Support Structure    Treatment Denture     Partial/Complete Denture     Implant Retained Denture Fixed Dentures     Implant     Bridge     Mini Implant Cosmetic Dentistry     Teeth Whitening     Veneers     Cosmetic Bonding Orthodontics      Braces      Invisalign Copyright © 2011 White Lake Family Dentistry All information is copyrighted.
