Dentist in Oceanside Offers Invisalign for a Clear Alternative to Braces

Dr. Gregory Staffon, Oceanside dentist, improves patients' teeth with Invisalign's clear aligners.

2013-05-10

CARLSBAD, CA, May 10, 2013 (Press-News.org) Whether a patient is a teenager or an adult, the idea of straightening their teeth with noticeable, traditional braces is undesirable. Dr. Gregory Staffon, dentist in Oceanside, is pleased to offer patients in need of a straighter smile a new alternative to traditional braces-Invisalign. Invisalign's clear aligners straighten teeth without anyone even noticing the patient is undergoing treatment.

"As an adult or a teenager, the idea of braces can be discouraging. I understand many people desire straighter teeth, but avoid treatment because they don't want to deal with bulky, metal braces. With Invisalign, I can offer my patients a new, clear alternative to traditional braces," said Dr. Gregory Staffon, Oceanside dentist.

Studies show that straight teeth are healthier teeth with less inflammation leading to periodontal disease and decreased chance of tooth wear and fracture. Invisalign in Carlsbad enhances self-esteem and physical confidence through an esthetic and barely visible alternative to wire braces. The clear aligners are manufactured using advanced computer technology that predicts tooth movement, making it possible for the removable orthodontic appliance to gradually straighten teeth.

The process of straightening a patient's teeth with Invisalign begins with a set of impressions and photographs of the teeth by Dr. Staffon, Oceanside, CA dentist, which are used to create a three-dimensional computer image of how the patient's teeth will eventually move after each session. Through the impressions and images, a series of custom-made aligners are designed to accomplish the gradual adjustment.

Invisalign aligners are manufactured at the Align Technologies dental laboratory using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Once created, the aligners are sent to your dentist who will dispense them in groups of two or three at a time during regular check-up appointments so that your treatment is properly managed.

Each aligner must be worn in the specific order given by Dr. Gregory Staffon, dentist in Oceanside, CA, for approximately two weeks. During this time, teeth will move in small increments of about .25 millimeters to .33 millimeters. Although the aligners are conveniently removable, they must be worn for at least 20 hours a day in order to successfully reposition the teeth.

"The greatest benefit of Invisalign is its clear aligners that make treatment nearly invisible. Many patients want to repair their crooked smile, but are reluctant to temporarily alter their appearance with metal braces. Invisalign trays are clear and discreet, which means your smile will get straighter without anyone even noticing. That, in itself, is the best benefit for teenagers and adults," said Dr. Gregory Staffon, Carlsbad, CA dentist.

With Invisalign patients can see results faster and less painfully than with traditional braces, and no one will even notice he or she is receiving treatment.

Colorado court finds no protections for marijuana-using workers

A recent ruling by the Colorado Court of Appeals held that workers can be fired from their jobs for testing positive for marijuana, ...

Silicon Valley: Home of tech innovations and age discrimination?

Mark Zuckerberg could be the poster child for tech industry success in Silicon Valley. He is the epitome of an ambitious, free-thinking innovator willing to work around the clock to help develop the next big business venture. Because of Mr. Zuckerberg's success, and the success of many other young tech leaders, some companies have found themselves caught up in this stereotype. As a result, qualified candidates that do not fit within this label are accusing these companies of focusing on an applicant's age instead of his or her qualifications when making hiring decisions.
