Does Invisalign interfere with kissing?
I’m so excited to get going with Invisalign and the dentist has nothing but great things to say about it. But I’m embarrassed to ask my dentist certain questions.

What would you recommend to fix a crooked front tooth?

Are there any other options to fix the gap in my teeth?
I have been living with this annoying gap in my teeth my whole life. No that I’m an adult, I’d like to have it fixed. When the dentist told me I needed braces, my heart sank. A 40 year old woman with braces just isn’t what I had in mind. Do I have any other […]
