Oct 16, 2014 /prREACH/ -- Dr. John Postgate, general and cosmetic dentist at Delano Family Dentistry is helping more patients achieve the straight, beautiful smiles they’ve always dreamed of without having to undergo traditional orthodontic treatment. With Invisalign therapy, Dr. Postgate’s patients are able to straighten their teeth wearing virtually unnoticeable clear plastic aligners that provide just as optimal results as do metal braces.

Invisalign therapy not only offers a more appealing look than traditional braces, but it also provides patients with more comfort during their treatment period in addition to increased lifestyle flexibility.

“We love Invisalign because it’s allowing so many of our patients who wouldn’t have ever opted for traditional metal braces to finally get the straight teeth that they’ve always wanted,” said Dr. Postgate. “This is especially true with adult patients who just simply don’t want the look and stigma of metal braces. With Invisalign, they can still be confident with their smile even while they’re undergoing treatment to improve it.”

The Invisalign clear braces that Dr. Postgate offers are created using the latest computer 3D imaging technology. Using this technology, Dr. Postgate designs a series of 9-24 different sets of clear plastic aligners that the patient switches out every two weeks. These aligners gradually shift teeth into alignment using gentler forces than traditional metal braces, which results in less pain and discomfort for the patient.

Patients who wear Invisalign retainers are instructed to remove them while eating or drinking anything other than water. This is helpful for keeping teeth clean and daily oral hygiene routines simple and familiar—especially flossing.

Many patients also prefer Invisalign due to the fact that the aligners can be removed at any time at the patient’s discretion. While patients are encouraged to wear their aligners all day except when eating, they are still able to remove them for important events such as photographs, meetings, interviews, presentations, reunions, and more.

Dr. John Postgate has been practicing dentistry for nearly 30 years. After graduating Cum Laude from the UCLA School of Dentistry, he completed a one-year residency at the West Los Angeles V.A. Medical Center in Hospital Dentistry and Oral Surgery. In his many years of practice, Dr. Postgate has participated in numerous continuing education courses and has also retained membership in several professional dental associations.
