Lost or damaged your current set of Invisalign trays? Don't just stop wearing them! Until you can get replacements from your orthodontist, use your previous set. It may set you back a week or two, but it will save you lots of time and money in the long run!

Did you know you have NASA to thank for your smile?

Originally developed for use in satellites, Space Age Wire is an alloy created by NASA that is activated by heat. This wire is now used in braces and uses body heat to retain its shape. These braces don't require the maintenance of old braces, making them easier to use than ever before! 🛰

Do you ever wonder why some people wear rubber bands on their braces between jaws?

These rubber bands - or elastics - are designed to align the jaws as a whole, as opposed to individual teeth. They pull the mandible forward or backward, further improving bite alignment.

Invisalign Tip: Keep the packaging.

Hang on to the pouches your trays ship in. It's a good idea to keep a few sets back in case of loss or damage to a current set, and storing them in their original packaging will keep them safe and organized!

Overbite is the most common form of malocclusion. While mild overbite of the front teeth may hardly affect appearance or bite, there are more extreme cases that warrant treatment. Orthodontics can help.

When the upper and lower teeth don't meet comfortably the cause is often a misaligned jaw. Learn more about misaligned jaws as well as treatment options.
