A New Year, a New Invisalign Smile
VanLaecken Orthodontics
December 20, 2020

Have you been hiding your smile due to crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth? Why not choose Invisalign for a new you this new year? Whether you believe in new year resolutions or not, it is best to make a change for the better this 2021.

Invisalign® orthodontic treatments are a solution for those who desire to look better and feel better about your smile without wearing braces. Invisalign braces discreetly improve your appearance and make your smile healthier at the same time.

Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that does not utilize metal brackets and wires. Instead, it makes use of a series of clear, removable aligners to guide the teeth to their proper places. Some of the reasons why many people prefer Invisalign over conventional orthodontic treatments are:

Straight teeth are a confidence booster

When you have straight teeth, you look better. And when you know you look better you gain confidence. If you have teeth that you’re unhappy about, you know just how much a good smile matters personally, professionally, and romantically. When your teeth are in alignment, they give you the opportunity to see an improved version of yourself, and you’ll find yourself relishing the role to reinvent yourself.

You can keep the treatment to yourself

The Invisalign system is ideal for people who have been delaying orthodontic treatment due to the thought of wearing a mouthful of metal. The clear oral appliance makes it possible for patients to straighten their teeth discreetly. Most people won’t even notice the orthodontic appliance unless told by the wearer themselves.

Offers easy progress

During a patient’s journey to straighter teeth, they won’t need to see the orthodontist frequently for adjustments. Instead, they are advised beforehand to replace the aligners every week or so. By replacing the trays as recommended, patients can see that they are one step closer to achieving their goal. But they should still take note of appointments advised by your orthodontist since they are necessary to track the treatment progress and offer any assistance with the treatment.

Get a healthier smile

Aside from the main goal of straightening one’s smile by correcting the alignment of the jaw and teeth, one of the biggest advantages the treatment offers is better oral health. Crooked teeth can trap food, and they are also trickier to clean; therefore, a person’s risk of developing cavities is high. On the other hand, straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain so that patients can expect not only a visually pleasing smile but excellent oral health as well.

patient TESTIMONIALS

brandon S.
I have not had a bad encounter with VanLaecken staff. They are very welcoming and encouraging. My experience with Invisalign with them has been straightforward, and easy. I’m thankful for them, and recommend them to everyone who needs a straighter smile!
Kasey S.
I can’t say enough good things about VanLaecken Orthodontics. Even coming from someone in the dental field, the level of care here truly stands out. Dr. Ryan has taken care of my kids for years and now is treating me as well. He always takes the time to listen to my concerns, explain options, and make sure I feel comfortable with every step of the process. The entire team is kind, professional, and so great with families. I wouldn’t trust our smiles to anyone else!
Missy R.
They are the best!! Staff is always friendly and remember things about what you enjoy to do. Makes you feel so appreciated. 5 ⭐️
Megan M.
They are very informative and care about their patients. We had a band pop off and they were able to get us in quickly to fix the issue and get us back to our everyday activities. They have made getting braces an easy experience.
Mark H.
We came back to South Dakota to visit family, and on the Saturday morning of Christmas weekend, my son’s palatal expander became partially disconnected. My son couldn’t eat and was in discomfort. VanLaecken Orthodontics was the closest orthodontist we could find. When we called their emergency number, they immediately picked up and answered our questions. Kacie met us at their office and fixed my son’s orthodontic device. She was so patient and calmed my son’s nerves throughout the entire process. The prompt response of the VanLaecken team was outstanding, coming in to help an out-of-towner on a holiday weekend; pure Midwest kindness at VanLaecken!
Zemirrah N.
If I could rate higher I would! I’m from Kansas, had braces on already, and due to lack of communication from my previous orthodontist, no one in Sioux Falls could help me. I had my braces on for 1.5 years without having any service done!! I was freaking out and finally found VanLaken and I seriously couldn’t be happier. They are informative, kind, flexible, GENTLE, and have the patient’s best interest and health in mind, vs other places I’ve visited that seem to only care about money. I didn’t realize how awful and rough my dental/orthodontic experiences in Kansas were until I came here. Life changing in the best way! I’d never go anywhere else after experiencing VanLaken!
Michelle B.
The assistants were very kind and the doctor easily explained what will happen during the process of braces. Excited to see what the end results will look like!
Susanne B.
The nicest and most professional staff made my dream come true with the most beautiful Invisalign adjustment in an only three months easy journey with 6 easy to wear retainers. I am 62 years old and never thought that it would’ve been possible to get my confidence back for a big smile! (the #6 picture still shows the little contact points that will be removed soon)
Karsten F.
VanLacken's are the best! The doctor's listen and have the best interests of the patient.
Jessica B.
Can’t say enough good things about their service and work. They are friendly, easy to work with, and provide the best service!
Marie L.
VanLaecken is so amazing. I love the staff! They are super nice, caring, and they really pay attention to details.
Cody L.
Everyone that works here is super friendly and I always feel like they explain everything throughly and weigh out your options.
Codi S.
If you need Orthodontic care...this is the place to be! The staff are always so sweet, kind and caring! ALL of them are absolutely amazing! Dr. Nate is very experienced and does a fabulous job explaining how the process works, what the next step is and the best treatment plan to fit your specific needs. I can't say enough about how awesome my experience has been!
Riley R.
The workers are very friendly and my teeth look great! Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
Valeria Alexandra Medina M.
I loved how they treated me and made me feel special. They were never mean, and always made sure you were okay.
