With heavy hearts, we remember the families, friends, and first responders who lost their lives as a result of the September 11th terrorist attacks. We will never forget. #NeverForget
We're grateful for all of the essential workers out there who continue to support our communities during these uncertain times including our devoted staff. Happy Labor Day from our family to yours. #LaborDay #DentalER
Clear aligners are a good alternative for patients who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear traditional braces. Additionally, aligners are beneficial for patients with previous orthodontic treatment who want to make minor corrections to their smiles. There are several advantages to using clear aligners:
😁 Clear aligners are difficult for other people to see
😁 You don’t need to avoid sticky foods or gum because you take out clear aligners before eating
😁 It’s easy to brush and floss after meals since the aligners are removable
😁 Clear aligners are more comfortable and less likely to irritate the gums and cheeks than braces

We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care don’t just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections.
