Invisalign
Invisalign
As the name implies, Invisalign clear aligners are made of almost invisible polyurethane plastic. Rather than being cemented or bonded to the teeth as metal or clear braces are, clear aligners are completely removable — for important social occasions, for eating, and, most importantly, for tooth-brushing and flossing. Here are some other advantages of the Invisalign system:
- Improved Oral Hygiene – With an orthodontic appliance that is removable, you will be able to clean your teeth much more easily than if you were wearing metal braces.
- A Discreet Look – If you consider your orthodontic treatment to be a private matter, or simply feel that metal braces don`t fit with your self-image, a practically invisible form of orthodontic treatment might suit you.
- More Dietary Choices – To protect metal wires and braces, some diet modifications are necessary. As the clear aligners are removable, major dietary modification are not required.
- Comfort – The soft, flexible material of which Invisalign is made will not irritate the soft tissues of the mouth, as metal wires and braces can.
- Teeth-Grinding Protection – If you have a teeth-grinding or clenching habit, clear aligners can function as thin nightguards that will protect your teeth from excessive wear.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign clear aligners work the same way traditional braces do: by applying carefully controlled forces to teeth to move them into a better position. But they are not made of metal; instead, they are made of clear, flexible plastic.
Here`s how it works: Specialized computer software helps us design a plan for moving your teeth from their current positions into the best possible alignment. This movement will be broken down into perhaps several dozen stages. For each stage, the Invisalign company will manufacture plastic mouth trays or aligners, one to fit over your top teeth and one for the bottom. You will need to wear this first set of trays for two weeks, for a minimum of 20 hours per day. We then move on to the next set of aligners in your series to accomplish the next stage of gradual movement. You will keep doing this until your teeth are correctly aligned.
SATISFIED CUSTOMERS WITH HEALTHY AND BEAUTIFUL SMILE
Dr. Temburni has outstanding academic credentials and training. He is patient and focused during all procedures whether routine or difficult and is constantly mindful of the person's condition and comfort. His clinic is clean and well organized. Staff members are similarly focused and work well with him. After many appointments, we continue to be thankful for having found such a fine dentist.
This is a fantastic practice in the brand new heartland dental complex. My family comes to him because Dr. Temburni has a warm and caring personality and makes the process as painless as possible for us! He explains the procedures in detail giving us options so that we could schedule the visits to best fit us. The staff really bends over backwards to help patients. If you looking for an approachable dentist who is not rushed and will make the procedures relatively painless, Dr. Temburni is the one! We know of at least three friends and neighbors that go to him and have had similarly great results.
I just came home from a visit to Dr. Temburni. I was a bit nervous since I changed practices but as soon as I walked through the doors, I knew I was in a good place. The building is super modern and clean. All the staff members greet you with a smile and are more than willing to make you feel at ease before your check-up. I had X-rays and a cleaning while I was there. Dr. Temburni doesn't just come in at the end to check things out, he performs the entire check-up and cleaning. He is very thorough. But the best part is that while he is doing all the work, you get to sit back in a comfy MASSAGE chair while watching TV that is placed conveniently on the ceiling. Awesome practice with amazing people!! Looking forward to my 6 month check-up.
Went today for my first visit. I was kinda nervous at first cause I was worried what kind of dentist I would get. I have no issues with dentists in general but some times their attitude is just not good.
Dr. Rolando Reyes saw me and made an overall scan and analysis of what I needed. He was absolutely terrific. He speaks both Spanish and English. I had some serious issues since I had not been to a dentist in a while but everything was explained to me perfectly and was solved in a timely manner. Definitely coming back to this location and back with Dr. Reyes. I already have an appointment for next year!
