Ask Dr. Ginsberg: Why is it so important to have straight teeth?

Some people wonder why Dr. Ginsberg and his team work so hard to give our patients straight teeth. Of course it’s nice to have a smile full of evenly aligned teeth, but did you know that straightening your teeth can keep them healthier? Straight teeth lead to better oral hygiene, increasing your chances of keeping your own natural teeth for a lifetime.

Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque—the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay; and they are easier to keep clean!

If you’re wondering whether your teeth might cause problems because they are out of alignment, give us a call to set up a consultation. Dr. Ginsberg and team can help you decide whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Happy New Year from the entire team at Gerald Ginsberg D.D.S.

Happy Holidays from Dr. Ginsberg and team!

The holidays are here, and as Dr. Ginsberg and his team reflect on the year that was, we’d like to ask you, our wonderful patients: What do you love about the holidays? Being with your loved ones? Opening presents by the fireplace? All the delicious food? Also, what gift are you most looking forward to getting this year?

We’d love if you shared with us all the things you love about the holidays. Stay safe and warm, and don’t forget to stay away from those sweets!

Who can benefit from Invisalign®? Dr. Ginsberg has the answer...

Part of what makes Invisalign work is that it's available for just about everyone, Dr. Ginsberg says. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing Dr. Ginsberg and his team do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Ginsberg is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call!
