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

lussi N.
I was denied braces since I was a child. Being told by multiple different places that I needed all types of procedures ( and I did them all) just to still be denied. I have always been insecure about my smile. I remember coming here and thinking they are going to deny me ( cause I originally wanted another treatment) or tell me to get more procedures. I am 22 and have been fighting for my smile for 12 years. My first appointment was a screening. My second - I got my braces. My life has been changed and my Smile now exceeds the one I dreamt of. I couldn’t imagine a better team taking care of me. Thank you.
Kelsey F.
We've had a great experience with VanLaecken Ortho so far. Everyone we've worked with has been so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They're very timely and organized, and appointments have gone smoothly, excited to see the final results and bring our other kids here, too!
Stacy P.
We started braces 4 months ago and it has been such a smooth process. The staff have been amazing. They are great with explaining what they are doing and why at each appointment. We have seen so much happen in the 4 months we have started and can't wait to see the end results.
Clark A.
Wonderful, caring team of professionals who worked extra hard to get the insurance coverage for our son’s braces. Can’t say enough about how wonderful these people are!
Jonathan W.
Very thorough care, halfway though a program with my son. Great communications, informative.
Brittany A.
The care and kindness we receive here has been nothing, but great! The gained confidence in my daughters smile is the icing on the cake. 💜 highly recommend.
Zeljana K.
Love this place! I love how friendly and supportive the whole team is. They genuinely care about their patients and go the extra mile to make each visit a positive experience.
I’m so happy with my results and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Sara S.
The whole team at VanLaecken has been so amazing to work with. Starting with our initial consultation which answered all of our questions, to being able to call and get assistance after hours to help with a loose wire, squeezing us in when we something comes up and making sure my child is comfortable during every step of the process. The hygienists are so friendly and the Docs are the best of the best. It’s only been a few months but the results on my child so far have been astonishing. 1000/10 would recommend VanLaecken ortho for anyone who is considering orthodontic care.
Jael K.
Have been fortunate enough to be a patient of Vanlacken ! They have done an amazing job with making my smile perfect! When something wasn’t quite perfect they went right to work! Super friendly staff! Nice environment!
Megan
My daughter said all the staff were nice, kind, and gentle with her teeth and they did an excellent job!
Tara H.
Was so easy to get started. Take a few pictures, they emailed back. We were able to make monthly payments. We had put braces on my oldest daughter for a huge chunk of change, somewhere else. I was pleasantly surprised when my daughter ended up on the other side of the state and wanted braces that at VanLaecken their prices were half than what we paid in the past. Service was excellent and they were very accommodating around her college schedule. We are so in love with her beautiful smile.
Remi H.
Everyone is so nice and welcoming here! I really do feel comfortable and safe. Thank you for everything!
Alyssa K.
Not only did Dr Ryan fix my massive overbite and teeth to look perfect, he also helped both my sisters. Now we are bringing our daughter to VanLaecken to fix her teeth. Have always had such fantastic and friendly care while visiting, and always leave with my questions and concerns answered and listened to. Highly highly recommended anyone looking into orthodontic work to come see them!
MyLee R.
Cannot say enough good about them through my daughter’s process! All of the hygienists are so kind and patient! As is Dr Ryan. He went above and beyond for my family. Thank you!
Trista G.
We have had great experiences at this orthodontist location! Friendly staff. Not only do they do quality work, I greatly appreciate their efficiency and not having to wait in the waiting room a long time after check-in. Pam at the front desk is always helpful and friendly. The only thing that would be better is if they had a mobile unit to travel around! Sometimes it stinks driving so far for a 10 minute appointment but that’s our choice to live in small town. 😊

Why Choose Invisalign for Your Smile Transformation

Invisalign has revolutionized the way we think about orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces, which can be uncomfortable and unsightly, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible. This means you can straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your mouth. Many patients appreciate the discretion that Invisalign offers, allowing them to maintain their confidence while undergoing treatment. Additionally, the aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss without the hassle of brackets and wires.

Another significant advantage of choosing Invisalign is the comfort it provides. The aligners are made from smooth plastic, which means they are less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks compared to metal braces. This comfort, combined with the convenience of fewer office visits, makes Invisalign an appealing option for busy individuals. With the ability to track your progress through the treatment plan, you can see how close you are to achieving your dream smile, making the journey enjoyable and motivating.
