We've discussed Invisalign's benefits before, and today thought we'd talk about its oral health benefits. When considering treatment options, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than traditional braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign at Dr. Jennifer Martin's office than you may know. Invisalign is a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, and besides straightening your teeth, can improve your oral health. Here’s how:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque and even gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing: Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign or Invisalign Teen, we encourage you to give us a call at 925-676-8485. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page!

Lastly, along with all the pencils, pens and paper for back to school, we want to remind everyone to remember their "orthodontic back to school supplies" this weekend - rubber bands, wax and retainer cases.

Wishing everyone a great Labor Day weekend and a happy school year!

Dr. Jennifer Martin and our entire staff would like to recognize Sherry, a recent retiree from our office who is enjoying her retirement. She worked with us for 25 years, and we miss her a lot!

When we hear from her though, we hear that the #1 thing she misses about the office is the patients! She misses us too, but we came in second to our wonderful patients. We miss her and continue to wish her all the best!

At the office of Dr. Jennifer Martin, we know there are quite a few myths about orthodontists (and orthodontics) flying around these days. But before you buy into those myths, Dr. Martin and our staff think you should get the facts first! Our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists help set the record straight, and have some excellent information on the myths and facts of orthodontics. We encourage you to check them out today!

If you have any questions about orthodontics or your treatment with Dr. Martin, feel free to give us a call at 925-676-8485!

We hope you've had a wonderful summer so far!
