Serving smiles across Fairfield and Oxford, OH, Lamont Jacobs Orthodontics offers a wide range of top-quality orthodontic solutions. When you visit their practice, you won’t be restricted to traditional metal or ceramic braces. Aside from gold, straight-wire and lingual braces, seasoned orthodontist Dr. Jacobs also provides Invisalign, the increasingly popular brand of clear, removable braces, to qualified patients.

Whether you’re looking for a modern alternative for your child or teen, or in need of adult orthodontics yourself, Invisalign is the most viable option for a subtle process with drastic results. Candidates for Invisalign’s groundbreaking clear aligners include patients with underbites, overbites, and open bites, as well as those with gaps, crowding, or a combination of such issues. Although it may seem like just a cosmetic issue, crooked teeth are proven to lead towards tooth decay and periodontal disease, which can then lead to problems as simple as bad breath or as extreme as the loss of a tooth. These seemingly minor matters can evolve into even greater ailments, such as increased risk for heart disease and stroke.

In addition to better health, Invisalign presents major advantages over traditional braces. The virtually invisible aligners are removable, which allows each wearer to brush and floss their teeth like normal. With traditional braces, hygiene becomes problematic around brackets and wires, but Invisalign allows unrestricted access to all areas of the mouth. Adults in the workplace can appear mature and professional with Invisalign’s removable aligners, allowing convenient removal for special events during the treatment period. Teens can use this feature to attend prom braces-free, eat hard foods like bagels and popcorn, or play contact sports without cumbersome metal fixtures snagging their cheeks and gums. The aligners will also function as a nightguard while you sleep — a 2-in-1 solution for patients who grind or clench their teeth.

With a state-of-the-art Intra-Oral Scanner that sets the practice apart from its competitors, Lamont Jacobs Orthodontics will perform a non-invasive scan of your teeth in order to fashion your personalized clear aligners. You’ll then receive a new pair of aligners every two weeks, allowing a gradual orthodontic shift that only requires an office visit every four to six weeks. Dr. Jacobs also offers payment plans and discounts to help you finance your vision.
