Dr. Michael Stosich Explains Invisalign for Crooked Teeth Correction - Four Drawbacks

Online, September 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - GRAYSLAKE, ILLINOIS - A powerful marketing effort has made Invisalign a brand that is asked for by name at iDentity Orthodontics, the Grayslake practice of Dr. Stosich.

While Dr. Stosich offers the treatment- he received specialized Invisalign training that provided master level knowledge of the treatment modality- he works to make patients aware of these four drawbacks:

1. The Trays Stain
While Invisalign can correct minor problems like crooked teeth, the "invisible" trays stain considerably, resulting in an unsightly appearance, Dr. Stosich said.

2. Compliance is Paramount
Because Invisalign is removable, patients take them out every time they eat or drink. To accomplish the anticipated results, the aligners must be worn at least 22 hours daily. That can be a challenge for some patients who may forget to replace their aligners after meals.

3. Source of Decay
Oral hygiene is easier because the trays are removable, but they must be cleaned thoroughly every day. Otherwise, they can become a source of decay.

4. It's Not the Fastest Option
Dr. Stosich and other orthodontists throughout the U.S. have an aesthetic treatment option that aligns teeth two to three times faster: SureSmile with clear braces. SureSmile enables the orthodontist to see the desired end result and calculates all customization needed to deliver the planned treatment path. Customized arch wires are created by SureSmile robots, which result in rapid tooth movement.

"It goes without saying that patients typically opt for the braces due to their cosmetic benefits and shorter treatment time after learning of these drawbacks," he said.
