Nov 14, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. Bob Polancich, family and cosmetic dentist in Lexington, KY is helping adults achieve straighter smiles while still feeling and looking great in the process with the latest orthodontic technology. Using Invisalign therapy, adult patients of Dr. Polancich can work to straighten their teeth using clear and almost invisible plastic aligners over the course of 9-18 months.
Traditional orthodontic treatment that is completed with metal wires and brackets is effective, yet unsightly to many and often uncomfortable as well. While traditional braces are a normal social trend in the teenage years, adults who want straight teeth often don’t seek orthodontic treatment because of the negative stigma that braces have in later years. With Invisalign clear braces, image no longer has to be a concern for adult patients.
“Invisalign has become extremely popular especially with our adult patients who have wanted straight teeth for years, but just simply did not want to become a “brace face” first in order to look better later,” said Dr. Polancich. “With Invisalign, these adults no longer have to worry about their orthodontic treatment affecting their social and love life, and even their professional image. It really is the best option for adults who are good candidates for this treatment.”
Invisalign appliances are created using the latest 3D imaging technology, which assists Dr. Polancich in creating a series of individual aligners that are made with soft, clear plastic. These aligners fit snugly over the top and bottom arches of teeth, and use gentle forces to gradually move teeth into alignment over time. Invisalign patients wear a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks throughout the course of their treatment.
In addition to being near-invisible when worn, the clear aligners are also completely removable. Patients are instructed to wear the aligners all day and night except for when eating and when drinking beverages other than water. However, patients do have free reign to remove the aligners for special occasions as they see fit, such as important meetings, interviews, presentations, photographs, reunions, and more.
In addition to offering Invisalign clear retainers, Dr. Polancich and his staff also offer a variety of other general and cosmetic dental services. Some of these include porcelain crowns and veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants, periodontal treatments, standard cleanings, and more.
With more than 35 years of experience as a dentist, Dr. Polancich is one of the most skilled dental professionals in the local area. He remains actively involved in continuing dental education to remain up-to-date with the latest procedures and technology in dentistry. He is a member of the Kentucky Dental Association, the Bluegrass Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and several others.
