Enjoy A Brand New Smile With Invisalign!
September 1, 2023
Is your smile as straight as you would like it to be? If issues with the spacing of your teeth are preventing you from showing your best grin, you should consider orthodontic treatment. When the permanent nature of braces sounds too bulky, we could provide an alternative treatment with Invisalign clear aligners. These BPA-free, translucent plastic trays pull your teeth gradually into a more desirable position over months. Because you can remove them with ease, Invisalign offers an easier time maintaining your oral hygiene during treatment.
At our Richardson, TX, dental office, we can help you enjoy the cosmetic and functional benefits that come with a more uniform smile. By scheduling an appointment, we can examine the extent of your malocclusion and let you know if you are a candidate for clear aligner treatment. When you understand how simple it can be to bring your teeth into position, you can feel confident moving forward with your new smile treatment!
Smile Improvements Made With Invisalign

When poor teeth spacing stands between you and your ideal smile, you may be reluctant to look at treatment because you worry braces will feel intrusive.

However, by looking into your treatment options, you can find that you have more to choose from than this one approach. Our Richardson, TX dental office can provide treatment with Invisalign aligners. A set of clear, removable aligners will allow you to gradually move teeth that are not in the appropriate positions without unwanted attention. This approach also lets you maintain your normal routine, as Invisalign can be removed when you eat or clean your teeth. (more…)

Should Your Child Use A Palatal Expander?
April 4, 2023
Pediatric dental appointments are great opportunities to help kids grow up with healthy, lovely smiles. One issue that is watched for during these early visits is malocclusion, a problem with dental alignment and positioning. There are different ways in which this problem can affect a child.

Our Richardson, TX orthodontic treatment office can help kids affected by this issue by providing palatal expanders. These appliances encourage a widening of the upper jaw to prevent future problems and make further development of your child’s oral structures easier. (more…)
