You may think your too-late nights and too-early mornings, wake-ups by the kids, or too much screen time before bed are negatively impacting your sleep. These elements could be affecting how well-rested you are. However, if you take care of these habits and manage to squeeze in good nights of rest, you might still be inexplicably exhausted every day. You may be suffering from undiagnosed sleep apnea.
Whether you have naturally aligned teeth or not, there may be one element of your smile that’s still plaguing you – a gap between your front teeth. Some people are delighted by this notable characteristic that makes their smile stand out from others and makes them memorable. Plenty of celebrities and models rock their front-teeth gaps: Anna Paquin, Vanessa Paradis, Uzo Aduba, Michael Strahan. But, celeb or not, if your gap makes you self-conscious and uncomfortable, Invisalign could be the solution you’ve been seeking.
Invisalign is revolutionary. So many people were resigned to crooked teeth forever because they shunned traditional metal braces. Then these amazing practically invisible aligners came long and transformed orthodontia forever. But what’s the real story? What is it really like to live with Invisalign? Here are 10 truths about Invisalign that you need to know.
Love and orthodontics don’t always go hand in hand. When you’re wearing Invisalign, however, you will adore how beautifully and surreptitiously your teeth are moving into alignment. And you won’t be shy about showing your love to others. Here are just eight reasons you can (and will) fall in love with Invisalign.
New dads tend to get lost in the shuffle of infant needs and the demands a new mom is juggling. At a time when your social life is likely to be on the back burner, your work is status quo, and your partner isn’t really paying all that much attention to you anyway, it’s the perfect moment to do something for yourself that you’ve always wanted to do: straighten your smile. Invisalign can help.
Maybe you used a pacifier for too long as a child. Perhaps you sucked your thumb. Or maybe you were simply born with an overbite that was exceptionally cute when you were a toddler but is driving you crazy as an adult. Whether you dislike the appearance of your teeth, feel your overbite draws too much attention to your mouth, or are having painful jaw problems, Invisalign could be the solution to a great number of your oral health complaints.
Ahh, winter break. Vacation. Days off. Sleeping in. And yet… you still feel completely exhausted. You wake up a lot at night. You’re ready for a rest but you just can’t seem to get it (and the kids aren’t even waking you up). What gives? Sleep apnea could be the problem, and a serious one at that.
Two of the biggest questions Invisalign-wearers often have at the start of their treatment are, When can I eat? and Do I really have to wear the aligners all the time? You can eat whenever you want, and you don’t have to wear the aligners “all” the time. But there are, of course, shades of grey. If you’re new to Invisalign when the holiday social scene arrives, here are some tips to help you get through the revelry without negatively impacting your orthodontic treatment and still enjoying yourself through the New Year and beyond.
Whatever holiday you celebrate at the end of the year, there is always an opportunity to exchange gifts with family, friends, and coworkers. Maybe you love what you get, or perhaps you make good use of that gift receipt. Whichever camp you fall into, let’s be completely honest: The only person who can truly get you the gift you want – a straight smile – is yourself. You can start now and feel like the best version of yourself as holiday parties, festivities, and celebrations get into full swing. You’ll head into a new year with a brand new outlook on life, all because of a smile that’s getting straighter by the day, thanks to Invisalign.
Braces are not easy. They are a commitment and a responsibility. Whether teen or adult, the individual braces-wearer is the one who has to take care of their own oral health and appliances, whatever they may be. But here is one truth: Invisalign is far less messy than traditional metal braces.
The best ever!
I am very pleased with the dental work that Dr. Carole has performed on my teeth. I am very thankful.
Most people dread going to the dentist – not me. I am visiting Carole and her wonderful group. You couldn’t ask for nicer folks.
Today was my first visit with Dr. Sherrod Jewell. Everyone in her office was very friendly and professional. The doctor explained in detail the condition of my tooth and what needed to be done. She also outlined the cost and payment options. I was very happy with my experience and will be going back next … Read more
I am a long time patient that enjoys going to the dentist and always refers all friends and family to the practice. The doctor is just like talking to your next door neighbor.

Wonderful staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I would totally recommend Dr. Jewell’s practice.
Staff is fantastic, love them all.
Pay more attention to insurance coverage in advance of an appointment for a specific treatment – this goes both ways my and yours. I will do my part in the future. Thanks for good services.
Thorough and efficient.
I left a message at 7am on office phone that my filling fell out the night before. Got a call back at 8:30am and the office asked me to come in at 12:15. Couldn’t have worked out any nicer. Filling done by 1:15 and I am back to work. You guys are “THE BEST EVER”, … Read more
