Have a safe and happy New Year, to all our patients, friends, family and all our dental and medical colleagues.

Invisalign and your oral health, from Dr. Stein


When considering treatment options in Palm Harbor and New Port Richey, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than traditional braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign with Braces by Stein than you may know. Invisalign is a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, and besides straightening your teeth, can improve your oral health. Here’s how:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque and even gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing: Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, please give us a call for a free Orthodontic consultation. In fact, if you begin treatment by Dec. 31, we will reduce your treatment by $300.

Have a great weekend!
