Ask Dr. Cohen: Is Invisalign® really customized for each patient?

Yes, it is, and that’s part of what makes it work, says Dr. Cohen. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. The best thing about it all? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Cohen is a certified Invisalign provider in Hendersonville, White House, and Gallatin, TN. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, please give us a call.

Invisalign Teen™ at Smile Construction

Dr. Gary Cohen knows that now, more than ever, image is very important to the teens of today. Merely the thought of metal brackets and wires constantly attached to teeth can intensify the already-delicate confidence of some teens. Don’t worry- there is a clear alternative to traditional braces! The team at Smile Construction thought we'd remind you that Invisalign Teen™ offers an alternative method for treatment- a “clear” solution for teens!

So, how does Invisalign Teen work? Much in the same fashion as Invisalign, but with a few added characteristics tailored specifically to teenagers’ lifestyles. For instance, Invisalign Teen is designed with “compliance indicators” that fade from dark to light during the two week period that particular tray is used and once it has faded teens know to change trays. Each aligner comes with up to six free individual replacement aligners in case the original aligner ends up lost or broken. This is a huge benefit for the patient!

The treatment period for Invisalign Teen varies from nine to 18 months. If your teen is considering orthodontic treatment, please contact our office and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign Teen.

Dr. Gary reminds patients of the annual Postcard Contest

At Smile Construction, we love summer! We know that even though we’re still in the office, that for many this season is a time to plan vacations and visit family and friends in other cities, states, and countries. That's why each year we conduct a Postcard Contest, which is open to all of our patients. Now through September 1st, send a postcard to one of our offices and you will be considered for one of the following categories: Most Distant Postcard from Hendersonville or Best Postcard Note. There is also a special contest category for all of you Facebook savvy travelers- post a picture of you in your Dr. Gary t-shirt on vacation, and you will be considered for the Most Interesting Photo prize.

We look forward to seeing all of your postcards and photos! If you have any questions or comments, we encourage you to give us a call or to leave us a comment on our Facebook page.

Safe travels,

Dr. Gary and team
