A Discrete Solution to a Straighter Smile with Invisalign Braces from Dr. Khalida Stutman

July 25, 2011

invisalignTraditional braces may be the most well-known method for correcting a smile, but they aren’t your only option. If you want a straighter smile but don’t want to lose the professional image you’ve cultivated, consider Invisalign clear braces from Dr. Khalida Thompson.

Invisalign offers a discrete and convenient method for bringing your teeth into alignment, granting you the confident new smile you’ve been dreaming of.

Improve Your Smile without Sacrificing Your Professional Image

What makes Invisalign such a great option for adult patients? The most obvious benefit is that they’re clear.

But more than that, they’re also removable. Made from clear acrylic aligners custom made to fit your teeth, Invisalign clear braces can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, and special events-whether that be a meeting at work, a family reunion, or some other social event. And because Invisalign clear braces don’t need to be tightened, we only need to see you ever four to six weeks to make sure you’re progressing as expected.

If you want to learn more about Invisalign, or if you want to schedule a consultation visit with Dr. Khalida Stutman, just give us a call. Our office is located in North Massapequa and serves patients from New York City, Manhattan, Long Island, Merrick, greater Nassau County, and surrounding areas.

Brace Yourself for a Straighter Smile—In Only Six Months!

June 28, 2011

shutterstock_7441711Did you know you can straighten your teeth in only six months? It’s true! Sure, conventional braces are used as corrective measures for problematic bites, or other structural issues. But not everyone needs the long-term solution of traditional orthodontia to get a beautiful smile. In fact, all you may need is Six Month Smiles®!

What is Six Month Smiles?

Braces are the most effective means to straighten teeth and correct your bite. But if you’re an adult, wearing conventional braces can feel “too junior high.” With Six Month Smiles, you’ll get straighter teeth without the long wait, or the conspicuous metalwork. Dr. Kalinda Stutman will use the tooth-colored wires and brackets to create your perfect smile.

How does Six Month Smiles work?

Six Month Smiles uses low force to move teeth more quickly and comfortably-in months instead of years. The system focuses on straightening the front teeth, the ones visible when you smile. The clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are made of nickel titanium. Your orthodontia will be virtually unnoticeable.

Is Six Month Smiles safe and comfortable?

Yes! Six Month Smiles offers no more risk than traditional braces. In fact, there are fewer risks. The forces used to move your teeth are much lighter, and you don’t need to worry about constant tightening of the wires. And you’ll get nearly the same terrific results in a lot less time!

With Six Month Smiles, you don’t have to commit the same amount of time and money as you would with regular braces. Call Dr. Kalinda Stutman and her team at South Shore Dental Care to learn more about Six Month Smiles.
