"Technology Improves Precision and Patient COmfort "
By Dr. Stewart I. Perim, D.D.S., M.S. of Peninsula Periodontics & Orthodontics

Each year new improvements continue to be made in orthodontic technology. Being on the cutting edge and providing optimal comfort to each patient is an important priority for Dr. Perim.

INVISALIGN
Invisalign is an exciting, new, state- of-the-art alternative to braces. Invisalign is designed for adult and adolescents whose permanent teeth are fully erupted. The treatment consists of a series of clear, customized removable appliances called aligners.

Using the latest 3-D computer technology, aligners are custom designed from.Dr. Purim’s treatment plan to correct your specific problem. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks and then replaced with the next aligner in the series.

Invisalign is worn a minimum of 22 hours a day and are removed only to eat, brush and floss your teeth.

Our patients have found the Invisalign System to be a safe, comfortable solution to teeth that are crowded, spaced too far apart or have teeth that have shifted since wearing braces. We will be happy to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if the Invisalign System is right for you.

WILCKODONTICS
“How much longer until my braces come off?” is probably the question most frequently asked of any orthodontist. Many people decline orthodontic treatment because of the time commitment. To date, most major advances in orthodontics have been mechanical in nature. Brackets have become bondable and smaller, pure tipping mechanics have evolved into the straight-wire philosophy, and arch wires have gone through a dramatic metallurgical metamorphosis from stiff wires that deliver heavy short-term forces to temperature reactive wires that deliver more gentle longer-term forces.

With the Wilckodontics procedure most orthodontics cases in both adolescents and adults can be completed 3 to 4 times faster than would be possible with conventional orthodontics. This is accomplished by combining efficient orthodontic mechanics and time-tested alveolar decortication and augmentation techniques. Due to the shortened treatment time, your Wilckodontics procedure can be scheduled not to interfere with weddings, vacations, proms or other important social events. The end result is straight teeth, a structurally sound periodontium, and patients that are extremely grateful.
