Making Your Life Better with Orthodontics

The number one goal of orthodontic treatment is to give you or your child a good bite, meaning straight teeth that work well with the teeth in the opposite jaw. A good bite makes it easier for you to eat, chew and speak. It can enhance your dental health and your overall health, and may well improve your self-esteem. As a part of your comprehensive dental health care plan, orthodontic treatment can help you retain your teeth—and your smile—for a lifetime.

Let your smile express yourself! Nothing can show the world how happy you are quite like a beautiful smile. In fact, it’s one of the first things others notice about you, too. With orthodontics, you can be proud to flash your smile, because you’ll know that your smile truly represents your positive attitude.

Make your mouth healthy! Straight teeth aren’t just pretty, they’re healthy as well. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to clean, reducing the amount of plaque buildup and risk for gingivitis. The cleaner you keep your teeth, the longer they’ll last!

Feel free to live your life! Orthodontics is easier today than ever before, with treatment options that fit your lifestyle and schedule. We can personalize your treatment to suit all of your needs!

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!
