Invisalign – The Clear Alternative for Orthodontics During Social Distancing

We live in strange times – gestures once taken for granted – handshakes, hugs, fist bumps – are now discouraged. Even our smiles are often hidden behind masks. But that doesn’t mean no one is seeing your smile. Social media and video conferencing are at the forefront due to social distancing recommendations.

More selfies, virtual school learning, virtual meetings and video chats are happening more than ever before. This means we are even more up close and personal with our smiles. We all want to feel confident on screen, teens and adults alike. Self-confidence is a huge factor in teen development and Invisalign and clear aligners have been found to increase teen confidence both during treatment and once they’ve achieved the smile they always wanted.

Why are Invisalign and clear aligners a great choice right now?

While we are all allowed out and about again, we need take special precautions to protect ourselves. We still need to be careful about what we touch, where we spend our time, and maintain social distancing.

Invisalign and clear aligners allow for a more socially distanced approach to orthodontics, while still making sure you get the expertise of a trained and specialized orthodontist like Dr. Parker.

To get started, we use a 3D scanner to take images of your teeth and bone structure in order to map out a personalized treatment plan and to build custom aligners that will help straighten your smile – invisibly. That means less time in your (or your child’s) mouth to get started.

Once your treatment plan is put in place, you will receive clear aligners to wear 22 hours a day – no skimping or treatment will take longer! We will want to see you for appointments, just like with braces, but with Invisalign and clear aligners we can space those appointments further out! We can even schedule virtual appointments from the comfort of your home! If we don’t see anything unexpected, we will give you instructions to move forward – no need to come into the office. Social distance safe? – check!

In order to further minimize your time at our practice – (we do miss seeing our patients all the time, but we know it’s safer) – we have implemented a curbside pick-up for aligners. During your treatment, you will receive a few sets of your Invisalign aligners at a time. We then gauge your progress at appointments (in person or virtual) and move to the next set – if all is going well, you can just pick them up curbside using our secure drop-box.

While we’d rather see each and every one of our patients all the time, we are doing our part to flatten the curve and keep everyone healthy and safe. Invisalign and clear aligners allow us to help you attain the smile of your dreams in a safer way. It’s the clear choice. Not just any practice can do this, at Parker Orthodontics we have the expertise with both orthodontics and technology to help you get that smile. Our fun and friendly office may look a bit different than it used to, but we’re still coming up with ways to make you feel the love and caring while you are here!

There is so much that we miss these days, don’t let the smile of your dreams be one of those things. We have flexible financing and low-down payments.

Call us today to schedule a free consultation – we can start virtually or in person – your choice!
