Frankenmuth & Saginaw, MI – November 13, 2024 – MI Smile Journey by Thomas Orthodontics is pleased to announce the addition of Invisalign to its comprehensive list of orthodontic treatment options. This innovative system offers a clear, comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces, making it easier than ever to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for both teens and adults in the Frankenmuth and Saginaw areas, Invisalign provides an effective solution for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.

What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Customized using advanced 3D imaging technology, Invisalign aligners offer a precise fit and a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

The treatment process starts with a consultation, during which the orthodontist evaluates the patient’s needs and discusses their smile goals. Using this information, a detailed treatment plan is created, complete with a digital preview of the patient’s future smile. Aligners are crafted based on this plan, with each set worn for about two weeks before moving to the next stage.

Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign offers several distinct benefits over traditional metal braces. The most significant advantage is its aesthetic appeal—aligners are clear and virtually invisible, allowing patients to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of braces. This is especially appealing for adults and teens who prefer a discreet treatment option.

In addition to aesthetics, Invisalign provides greater comfort compared to metal braces. The aligners are smooth and free from wires or brackets that can irritate the gums and cheeks. Plus, since Invisalign aligners are removable, patients can easily eat, drink, brush, and floss, promoting better oral hygiene and reducing the risk of cavities or gum disease during treatment.

Personalized Treatment for Every Patient

At MI Smile Journey by Thomas Orthodontics, each Invisalign treatment plan is tailored to meet the unique needs of the patient. Whether addressing crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, or crossbites, Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Dr. Thomas and his team are dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans that ensure optimal results for each patient.

“We are excited to offer Invisalign as part of our comprehensive orthodontic services,” said Dr. Thomas. “This innovative treatment allows our patients to straighten their teeth with minimal disruption to their daily lives, and our goal is always to provide the highest level of care and achieve the best possible outcomes.”

Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults, with Invisalign Teen offering additional features like compliance indicators that help teens stay on track with their treatment plan. It is also a great option for adults who want to enhance their smile discreetly, whether for personal or professional reasons. Additionally, Invisalign can be a solution for patients who have had previous orthodontic treatment but experienced some relapse over time.

Advanced Technology for Precise Results

One of the key benefits of Invisalign is the use of cutting-edge technology to plan treatment. MI Smile Journey by Thomas Orthodontics uses advanced 3D imaging software to create a digital model of each patient’s teeth, enabling the orthodontist to design a precise treatment plan and predict the movement of the teeth throughout the process. Patients can even view a digital preview of their expected results before beginning treatment.

Throughout the process, patients will wear a new set of aligners every few weeks, each one gradually moving the teeth toward their final position. Regular check-ups ensure the treatment is progressing as planned.

The Convenience of Invisalign

Invisalign’s removable aligners offer significant convenience compared to traditional braces. Patients can continue to enjoy all their favorite foods without restrictions, as the aligners are taken out during meals. Invisalign also makes maintaining good oral hygiene easier—patients can brush and floss normally, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.

Comfortable and Effective Treatment

Invisalign aligners are designed for comfort. Made from smooth plastic, they are gentle on the gums and cheeks, and there are no wires to tighten. This means fewer trips to the orthodontist for adjustments. The treatment is also highly effective—by applying gentle pressure, the aligners move teeth into the desired position, often in a similar timeframe to traditional braces.

A Commitment to Excellence

At MI Smile Journey by Thomas Orthodontics, the team is committed to providing exceptional care and achieving the best results for every patient. The introduction of Invisalign reflects their dedication to staying at the forefront of orthodontic technology and offering the most advanced treatment options available.

“We are proud to offer Invisalign to our patients,” says Dr. Thomas. “Our mission is to help our patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles in the most comfortable and convenient way possible. Invisalign is a fantastic tool that allows us to do just that.”
