Kelli's Invisalign Journey with Dr. Wade

Over the next 6 months we are going to be taking Kelli through some Invisalign braces to enhance her beautiful smile. So I'm sure you are wondering, what is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system and you wear each aligner for two weeks. Then you change to your next one. They are virtually invisible, so it is a great way for adults and teenagers to straighten their teeth without anyone knowing. One of the benefits of Invisalign is that you can take the aligners out to eat, brush, floss, and for special occasions. For your first appointment you take some pictures and impressions and they are sent to Invisalign. Invisalign then creates a clinical check for me to look at and see where you are going to finish at the end of your treatment. We will know exactly how long your treatment is going to be. Then once the aligners are here you are ready to start straightening your teeth.
Today we have seen Kelli for her first appointment and she is so excited to get started.
Here is what Kelli had to say: "Easy as pie! No pain or anything... just some pictures and a few simple impressions and viola! The girls here are always so sweet here which is definitely an added bonus. I am so excited to be on my way to the smile I've always wanted!"

Here are a couple of pictures for you to see where Kelli is starting. We will update them along the course of her treatment so you can check her progress.
Please post your comments or words of encouragement for Kelli. For more information about Invisalign or to schedule your consultation, please visit our website at http://www.stonebriarsmiledesign.com/ or give us a call at 972.377.7800.
