Is My Doctor An Invisalign Dentist?
Orthodontist, Dentist, Invisalign Dentist...What do these terms mean, and how do I know who will give me the best care? Read on to find out!
If you are a patient of Dream Smile Dental, they are!
What is the difference anyways? Well, for starters, invisalign dentists must be certified to practice as such. Not all orthodontists have the certification, and if you want Invisalign, be sure that your orthodontist or dentist has the ability to perform an invisalign treatment. While certification is important, experience is more relevant. Dr. Ronkin and Dr. Shwartzman have completed 1200 invisalign cases in the past 15 years, giving us elite status.

Braces are a common orthodontic alternative to Invisalign. When looking into what treatment is going to work for you, it is best to think about the process of the treatment itself. Will you, the patient, be satisfied with a mouth full of metal wires and bars, where some practices penalize you for breaking a wire?
When braces are worn, the patient must take extra care and use special floss picks to make sure their wires are free of food particles. With Invisalign patients, there is no need for this extra appliance because the retainers are removable, and should be removed while eating, flossing, brushing your teeth, or cleaning your retainers (the removable aspect makes Invisalign retainers much easier to clean than wired in braces)!

While the downside of course is that they can be taken out, forgotten, or lost, which may result in a treatment obstacle, the patients who want the treatment to work and desire that result will not have any problems holding onto their retainers and making sure they stay clean.
Invisalign is a metal-free solution for straight teeth that will cost you a one time fee, where you are only charged extra for losing a retainer. In this case, prudence will prevent any extra fees whereas with traditional braces the fault or failure of the device itself may make the patient liable for extra expense. By combining invisalign and acceledent, our modern technology gives you better looking teeth in half the time, with a much higher chance of obtaining a positive result.
Our use of acceledent, an advanced orthodontic device, sets us apart from most other practices. Combine our knowledge of cutting-edge solutions with our long history of orthodontic success and your choice for an aesthetic dentist becomes clear.
