Ask Dr. Guyer: What can Invisalign® do for my oral health?

When 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 Main Street Orthodontics 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 Dr. Guyer 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.

Back to school extended hours at Main Street Orthodontics

Now that many of the schools in Niles and St. Joseph, MI are starting session again, Dr. Guyer and our team want to remind all of our patients about scheduling appointments in advance. With school, clubs and sports to consider, we know that it can be challenging to find time to visit Main Street Orthodontics. To help accommodate all of our patients' busy schedules, our office will have extended hours until 6pm on Wednesday beginning after Labor Day. It is important that you plan ahead for your appointments so that we are able to provide you with an appointment time that is convenient for you.

Dr. Guyer and our team also want to remind everyone of how important it is to give advance notice if you are unable to make an appointment. If we receive enough notice, we might be able to schedule another patient for that time. As always, feel free to give us a call if you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule your fall appointment. We hope that everyone is enjoying the last couple weeks of summer!
