At Door Creek Dental, a Clear Alternative to Braces!

Happy Monday! At Door Creek Dental, we are proud to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign, which uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners. Invisalign can help you get the great smile you’ve always wanted because it’s … invisible. Hardly anyone can tell you’re straightening your teeth! Now you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is: removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, and brushing and flossing are no problem; and comfortable, because there is no metal or wires to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time at our Madison office getting adjustments. Invisalign is a big part of why the number of adults undergoing orthodontic treatment has jumped 24 percent in the past 16 years!

If you’re interested in learning more about Invisalign, give us a call at 608-616-4514 for your Invisalign consultation!

Have a great rest of the week!

Straight talk with Drs. Andersen and Kirkpatrick

We’ve had patients ask us why Drs. Andersen and Kirkpatrick work so hard to give our patients straight teeth using Invisalign. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth, Drs. Andersen and Kirkpatrick will tell you, are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation for Invisalign. The team at Door Creek Dental can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from Invisalign treatment at our modern, convenient office in Madison.
