Dr. Kammo on Invisalign
So I’m a Diamond Invisalign provider, which means I’m a top 1% provider in the country with Invisalign. This means I’ve done over a thousand cases. I’ve seen a lot of complex cases to simple cases, which that means I can give the best treatment to all my patients.
Invisalign is a clear aligner that works by moving your teeth subtly. It’s a plastic that you won’t be able to see. It’s great for all ages, from young kids to adults.
It’s very comfortable and it gives achievable movements. Invisalign has changed the lives of a lot of my patients at the office because it gives an alternative of treatment to adults who did not want to do braces. So before we were getting a lot of adults who never had braces and they still had crooked teeth.
Invisalign gave these patients a chance to achieve the smile they want. Invisalign is also a great product for teenagers. Now Invisalign has came out with expanders, an Invisalign Teen, which allows teens and younger kids to get Invisalign, and it gets the same adequate results as braces or an expander.
When deciding between braces or Invisalign, we like to always gauge what the patient’s interested in. If a patient feels like they want something more aesthetic, something that’s non-visible, we like to show them the Invisalign product. If it’s something they feel like they’re not gonna commit to wearing, then we also show them the clear brackets or the traditional brackets.
At Profound Orthodontics, we do not charge a higher cost for Invisalign. We like to keep the cost the same so that way the patient’s getting exactly what they want. Invisalign’s not just great for aesthetics.
It’s great for function of the teeth, function of the jaw. A lot of times with crooked teeth and malpositioned jaws, you get airway issues, you get periodontal issues, meaning gum disease, and Invisalign can help with that because with straighter teeth becomes straighter gum health and better function becomes better airway. I like to explain to my patients that with crowding, there is possible for gum disease, and with gum disease, it can correlate to other systemic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and we like to see the benefits of Invisalign.
When you straighten out the teeth, we’re able to clean those teeth properly. Patients are able to clean their teeth properly at home. Dentists are able to clean their teeth properly at the office.
With a better foundation, this helps with making a better environment for their teeth.
