Invisalign Plans from Jill Wade



Invisalign Plans from Jill Wade

In our last post we described the benefits of Invisalign, a popular orthodontic and cosmetic dentistry solution. Today we’d like to look closer at the three Invisalign plans available at Stonebriar Smile Design. Each is designed to meet a specific need and provide stunning results.

Invisalign Express 5
This option is a good fit for patients who only require minor changes to their smiles. Maybe your teeth have shifted slightly in the years since you had your braces removed. In about two-and-a-half months, the Invisalign Express 5 treatment plan can help you fix slight misalignment to achieve straight, beautiful teeth.

Invisalign Express 10
Our second Invisalign option provides up to six months of care to correct teeth with minor crowding or spacing issues. This is an ideal option for patients who are preparing for a future restorative dentistry service.

Comprehensive Invisalign
Patients who want to overcome issues with crowding, spacing, or a bite malfunction may benefit the most from comprehensive care. Treatment with our comprehensive plan takes between six and 12 months, with the option to move only the anterior teeth.

Are you ready to find out which plan is right for you? Call Stonebriar Smile Design today to reserve an appointment with Dr. Wade. We serve patients from Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Dallas, and The Colony.

Invisalign Provides Orthodontic Care without Traditional Braces



Invisalign Provides Orthodontic Care without Traditional Braces

The thought of getting braces makes some adult patients nervous. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires, which draw attention to one’s treatment. What’s more, treatment with traditional braces can take more than a year to complete.

The good news is that traditional braces aren’t the only option for Dr. Jill Wade’s adult patients to consider. With Invisalign, Dr. Wade of Stonebriar Smile Design can help you straighten your teeth with a system that uses clear, custom-made trays instead of brackets and wires. Plus, there’s never anything to tighten. Instead, you’ll just move on to the next aligner in your carefully prepared kit after about two weeks. Each aligner is made to help you at a specific point in your treatment.

Added to this, your Invisalign aligners can be taken out daily for eating, brushing, and flossing. That makes enjoying a normal diet easier and allows you to brush and floss more thoroughly. With traditional braces, food can become trapped around brackets and wires, exposing you to a greater risk of cavities and gum disease. Invisalign helps you straighten your smile and keep it clean at the same time.

To get started on your treatment with Invisalign, call Stonebriar Smile Design today. We serve patients from Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Allen, Dallas, and The Colony. Through your consultation, Dr. Wade will help you understand what kind of care you need and will help you choose a particular plan. We offer three Invisalign treatment plans:

·         Invisalign Express 5
·         Invisalign Express 10
·         Comprehensive Invisalign

In our next post, we’ll take a closer look at these plans and look at how they can help you.
