The advantage of Invisalign® at Montano Orthodontics

Friday, August 19th, 2011


Happy Friday! Dr. Montano and our team are proud to offer Invisalign® to all our patients interested in braces. In fact, Dr. Montano is an Elite Provider for Invisalign, which is a great treatment that improves the long term health of your teeth. Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners, rather than using traditional metal bands, brackets and wires, which are obvious and sometimes painful.

There is no up charge for Invisalign at Montano Orthodontics, and the cost is the same as traditional braces.

If you are considering orthodontic treatment but are hesitant about braces, please contact our Bakersfield office and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign!

Montano Orthodontics, your Bakersfield Invisalign Teen provider

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

We’re very happy here at Montano Orthodontics to tell you that as an Elite Invisalign provider, we now offer the same wonderful product—for teens at the same cost as braces! Invisalign Teen effectively straightens teeth with a series of virtually invisible aligners without braces.

Invisalign Teen is specially designed to address key teen issues of compliance, eruption control, and root torque; however, some individuals are not candidates for Invisalign. If you’re not familiar with any of these terms or would like to know if you’re a candidate, we’d be happy to talk to you about them and their importance for teen orthodontic treatment.

If you want to find out more about Invisalign Teen, please visit the Invisalign Teen page of our website or give us a call we’d be happy to talk to you about these clear, clean aligners. Teens love them, and we know you will too.

The best thing about it all? Nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Ask Montano Orthodontics: What can Invisalign do for my oral health?

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Invisalign BakersfieldWhen considering treatment options, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than traditional braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign with Dr. Montano 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, just ask us the next time you’re in for an appointment. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page! You can also read this article for more information on Invisalign and your oral health.
