Straighter teeth is something many people desire. A nice smile is one of the most attractive things about a person. However, wearing a mouth full of braces for two, three, or more years can be a major pain, both literally and figuratively.

Luckily, there is another option. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces. Learn more about the benefits Invisalign offers and why you should consider this exciting method of straightening teeth.

• When you have straight teeth, your mouth is healthier in general and there is less chance of tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign makes it possible for more people to straighten their teeth.
• Invisalign is essentially invisible. You can straighten your teeth without unsightly metal in your mouth.
• The average cost is similar to that of traditional braces, which makes it affordable for many families.
• With Invisalign, the aligner trays are smooth and comfortable to wear. Traditional metal braces can be uncomfortable and cause irritation to the mouth.
• Invisalign is removable, so you do not have to wear the system during special occasions, or when you’re eating. With normal metal braces, you are stuck with them for the entire straightening process.
• Brushing and flossing are simple. Since the system is removable, you can brush and floss just like normal.

As you can see, Invisalign is an exciting option we provide at Seder Orthodontics for those who want straighter teeth. If this is something that sounds interesting to you, talk to Dr. Karen Seder and find out if it would work for your particular situation. Get started today, and before you know it you will be enjoying your straighter teeth.

If you’re brushing your teeth twice a day during your orthodontic treatment, Dr. Karen Seder and our team think that’s wonderful! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for you to visit your general dentist every six months, or as recommended, in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing. (And visiting Seder Orthodontics for regular adjustments, of course.)

Dental checkups are crucial for maintaining good oral health. Your general dentist can check for problems that might not be seen or felt, detect cavities and early signs of tooth decay, as well as catch and treat oral health problems early. During an oral exam, your dentist can also check the health of your mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing.

If you have not been to the dentist in the last six months, let us know during your next adjustment visit and we will provide a few great references in the Chicago, IL area!

Orthodontics has gone 3D at Seder Orthodontics! Seder Orthodontics and our team are proud to offer our patients the Cadent iOC digital impression system, which digitally captures the contours of your teeth, providing an accurate, goop-free digital orthodontic scan in just minutes for Invisalign only at this time.

The iOC scanner system, powered by iTero technology, eliminates the goop, gagging, and discomfort typically associated with the traditional impression method. The digital impression procedure ensures a more comfortable experience for the patient and produces a more precise scan for Seder Orthodontics. What’s more, the scanner uses visible light, so you won’t have any exposure to radiation during the procedure.

To learn more about the iTero digital scanner, or to book your next appointment at Seder Orthodontics, please give us a call!
