Should You Get Invisalign?

If you want a straighter smile but don’t want the look of traditional metal braces, Invisalign is the perfect option for you.

The Invisalign System straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. Not only is Invisalign effective, but the aligners are nearly invisible and can be worn without detection.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed instantly and easily.  You can take them out without compromising your treatment. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.

Because you can remove the Invisalign aligners at your leisure, you do not have to avoid any foods like patients with traditional braces do.  Invisalign makes it easy to eat whatever you want, whenever you want and never worry about your meals ruining your orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using custom-made aligners created just for you. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Coleman has planned out for you. With the Invisalign System, you will achieve a great smile with little disruption in your daily life.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment for you or your teen, please call our Syracuse Orthodontic Office to learn how you may benefit from Invisalign!

Dr. Coleman is a Certified Preferred Invisalign Provider.

Only an orthodontist who has been trained and certified by Align Technology can diagnose and treat using Invisalign. Invisalign is not appropriate for everybody. Only an orthodontist, like Dr. Coleman, can determine if Invisalign treatment is an effective option for you.

Dentists and Orthodontists: What is the Difference?

Coleman Orthodontics Dentists and Orthodontists are the same thing…right? While your dentist may offer orthodontic services, leading you to assume that he or she is an orthodontist, putting aligners or braces on teeth does not make your dentist an orthodontist. Dentistry is a broad medical specialty that deals with the teeth, gums, and jaws, while orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that focuses on correcting bites. All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are licensed orthodontists. Both dentists and orthodontists provide professional care to help their patients have good oral health. And both are dental school graduates. But dentists and orthodontists are very different when it comes to the alignment of your teeth. Dentists and orthodontists undertake the same training initially, but orthodontists complete further training after they graduate dental school to become qualified in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of orthodontic problems.

Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment

Coleman Orthodontics Dr. Coleman can successfully correct most orthodontic problems regardless of the patient’s age. But that does not mean that the orthodontic treatment starting age does not matter. As with any decisions regarding health care, it is best to act when time is on your side. Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that encompasses tooth straightening and facial changes.   As a child grows, both the upper jaw and lower jaw will grow in three dimensions. This growth will decide the final positioning of the mid and lower face. The major advantage of a two-phase treatment is to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and esthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child’s life. Two-phase orthodontics starts with interceptive treatment. The goal of interceptive treatment is to take advantage of growth potential and to catch an orthodontic problem before it gets out of hand. Such treatment usually occurs be...
