August 24, 2015
Teeth-straightening technology has come a long way over the last few decades. In the past, metal braces were the only choice for patients that wanted straight, beautiful smiles. Now, there is even better straightening treatment available in the form of clear aligners – Invisalign. This state-of-the-art treatment secretly shifts teeth into their proper positions in much less time than compared to metal braces. For those of you who have been “lucky” enough to wear braces, do you remember how painful your mouth could be at times? Invisalign does the same job only with less pain.
Now, there’s a product that’s specifically designed to make the straightening process much faster and easier than before. It’s called Propel®, and we use it at our office in Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Les Latner has used this specialized product to straighten teeth in much less time with pain-free results. The system uses your bone stimulation to ensure teeth movement is simple. If you have any misalignment issues that you want corrected, Propel® can help you zip through treatment. Dr. Latner is the cosmetic dentist Los Angeles residents can trust!
