But before you buy into those myths, we think you should get the facts!

Yes, it is, and that’s part of what makes it work. A complimentary consultation with Dr. David Skibell can determine if Invisalign is right for you. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.
Dr. David Skibell will tell you that braces were originally considered to be best appropriate for teens. But these days, kids as old as seven are beginning their orthodontic treatment. Because preadolescent kids are typically not self-conscious, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists suggest it could be a good idea to start early.

That’s why our office is helping spread the word that many facial sports injuries can be prevented simply by reminding your kids to wear mouth guards.
