A member of our team at Coolsmiles Orthodontics found a great video that discusses the advantages of Invisalign. In the video, Kimberley Clayton Blaine, “The Go-To Mom,” discusses the Invisalign and Invisalign Teen treatment and her personal experience with Invisalign.

I was drinking a grande latte the other day in Starbucks while reading one of my orthodontic research journals.  I came across an article that I thought might interest you.  It was a study done at the University of Michigan to evaluate the attitudes of how the public judges people with uncorrected orthodontic problems.  Whether we think it is fair or not, the public makes a variety of assumptions.  They rated photos of adults with malocclusions to be not only less attractive, but less intelligent, less conscientious and less approachable.  The 889 respondents also stated that they would be less likely to interact with them in both personal and professional settings.

Braces and Invisalign, Medford and Port Jefferson,NY

We recently had a staff meeting to discuss the topic of customer (patient) service.  As we enter our thirty-third year in business, it is a time to reflect on how we grew our practice.  Although professional referrals (dentists) are still a major influence on how parents/patients select our office for their care, word of mouth patient-to-patient recommendations continue to be the fastest growing reason for our success. Our appreciation of that is sincere and heartfelt and we thank you!

Parents are often very confused when their family dentist refers their child to our office at a young age (ages 6-10).  They know that their child still has lots of baby teeth and are expecting us to recommend braces.  They are concerned that it is too early for braces and that it may be a waste of time and money.  While it is true that we rarely recommend braces at this age, it is very important to get an early orthodontic evaluation.

Win Free Invisalign Teen® Treatment

"I want straight teeth but I don't want to wear braces."

Dr. Amram and Dr. Klempner have heard this expressed by countless numbers of teens over the years. It's not surprising why kids in high school don't want braces. For many teenagers and adults, the thought of having to wear braces is worse than going though life with an unattractive or unhealthy smile.  We understand the complexities of adolescence and the numerous pressures that teens experience.  That's why Coolsmiles Orthodontics has embraced Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®.  We have had so much success and experience that Align Technology (Invisalign®) has awarded Coolsmiles their "Elite" provider status.  That means that we are in the top 1% of the country in terms of the number of patients treated. That brings us to our newest contest.  We will treat one lucky teenager for free!  That's right, zero, nada, goose egg, nothing. Just click over to our Facebook page to enter.

This is probably the most common question we get. At Coolsmiles Orthodontics we really go out of our way to make sure that all treatment adjustments are as gentle as possible. Dr. David and Dr. Leon are very gentle people, and it reflects in their treatment philosophy and technique. This is particularly true when placing and removing braces.
