Invisalign treatment with Dr. Martin: what's the advantage?

Are you wondering what Invisalign treatment is really like, and what effect the clear aligners will have on your day-to-day activities? Dr. Jennifer Martin wants you to know you're not alone in your concerns!

To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment at Jennifer L. Martin DDS, the first thing we do is take an impression of your teeth as they are now - and digitize it. Using special software, Dr. Martin looks at the current positioning of your teeth and compares it to the way your teeth should look.

Next, Dr. Martin uses special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. The best thing about it all? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Martin is a Certified Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen Provider in Pleasant Hill and surrounding areas here in Contra Costa County, including Oakland and San Francisco. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, please give us a call.

Happy Monday!

Ask Dr. Martin: Why are straight teeth so important?

Some people wonder why Pleasant Hill orthodontist Dr. Jennifer Martin and our dedicated team work tirelessly to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth at Jennifer L. Martin DDS 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 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! A second-generation orthodontist, Dr. Martin is dedicated to the practice of orthodontics, and looks forward to sharing her knowledge, experience, and skills. Dr. Martin is deeply involved in the community; she knows and understands her patients, and strives to provide a unique, custom-tailored experience for each individual she treats

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, please give us a call to set up a complimentary consultation. Dr. Martin can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
