HOUSTON, TX, December 01, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the holiday season is now officially upon us, travel planning, gift giving, and resolution-making may have replaced "getting teeth straightened" on your list of things to do. However, now may be the perfect time to begin on the path to a beautiful smile, according to Houston Invisalign Premier Provider, orthodontist Dr. Vladimir Tabakman of West Houston Orthodontics. "Invisalign G4, the newest system by Align Technology, was released to orthodontic specialists in late November," offers Dr. Tabakman. "In short, it greatly broadens the scope of candidacy for patients that want to achieve the 'perfect smile' with Invisalign treatment." Teens and adults, for whom Invisalign was not ideal, now have that option available to them when planned and implemented by an orthodontic specialist.
Invisalign is perhaps best known as the "braceless" way to straighten teeth. An obvious draw for patients concerned with how they look during treatment, Invisalign uses clear, customized tooth aligners, similar to retainers, instead of traditional metal braces, to move teeth. However, many would-be patients have been disappointed to learn that the system was not ideal in treating their specific case. "Now, with the release of G4, orthodontists have the ability to utilize Invisalign in Houston for patients with open bites, among other benefits," says Dr. Tabakman. "Adults, especially, were less inclined to pursue treatment if they weren't Invisalign candidates. With G4, that number of individuals is greatly reduced."
In Houston Invisalign treatment by Dr. Tabakman begins with a complimentary consultation whereby he creates a patient-specific orthodontic treatment plan. The practice utilizes the latest in 3-D computer technology to precisely craft the customized aligners, worn in sequence. Depending upon individual case, anywhere from 10 to 30 different upper and lower aligners maybe used during the course of treatment. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks. They are removed when eating, brushing, and flossing. The teeth are moved, little by little and with minimal discomfort, into their final position as prescribed by Dr. Tabakman.
So while it may be that orthodontic care isn't forefront in your mind, West Houston Orthodontics would offer that the holiday season is the "perfect time." Dr. Tabakman suggests, "With free initial patient consultations, health savings accounts becoming 'replenished' on January 1st, and the fact that we can offer 0% in-house financing on treatment, we're hopeful that the Invisalign G4 system removes a final hurdle for many people seeking Invisalign in Houston. Among gifts, isn't a beautiful smile something that will truly be cherished for a lifetime?"
