Many Laughlin Dental clients choose Invisalign teeth straightening over traditional braces. These modern teeth aligners provide comfortable straightening without the stigma, pain, or hassles of wires and brackets. Clear plastic aligner trays are almost invisible and allow you to correct your bite and smile while still enjoying the foods you love.
Clear plastic aligner trays are almost invisible when worn, as they are made of smooth plastic custom fit to your teeth. Beyond invisibility and unlike traditional braces, these smile correction trays dont pinch, poke, cut, or tug at your oral tissues. You remove your trays for teeth brushing and eating.
Eating is fairly normal with Invisalign. You can still enjoy crunchy, cold, and sticky foods like taffy, popcorn, and corn-on-the-cob. You remove your trays for eating, then put them back in for the rest of your daily routine.
Daily oral care is also the same with aligners as it is without. You remove your trays to brush and floss, then put them back in for smile correction. This means your teeth and gums stay healthy throughout your teeth straightening. It also means your smile is its pearly white best when you have completed your aligner tray course of treatment.
Pasadena patients turn to Laughlin Dental services for the healthy smiles they want. When you visit with your Laughlin dentist, you can discuss your desire for straighter teeth with your oral health care team. If youre a good candidate for Invisalign teeth straightening, getting started is easy. Heres what the process looks like:
Your dentist at Laughlin Dental in Pasadena, Texas can best determine whether your smile correction using clear aligner trays is right for you. Teeth straightening of this type requires fully developed jaws. Therefore, teens and adults are the best candidates for comfortable, non-metal teeth straightening.
There are some irregularities that may require metal braces or other methods of teeth straightening. If aligner trays wont help your smile, Dr. Laughlin and his team can go over different options with you.

I am super scared of dentists! I have faithfully gone, but have been disappointed and in pain the last few visits with the dentist that I had since 2005. Dr Laughlin was highly recommended and I took a chance. The entire staff knew right away that I was nervous and were gracious in being extra careful. My treatment was carefully explained and options given for me to make the choice. Their camera technology is amazing and I got to view every detail of my areas of concern. The office conversation was informative, as I asked many questions and they all answered them. I strongly recommend Dr Laughlin and his team!!

The Dr. Was very nice and spent time with me. But, in the middle of my scans the insurance girl came and told me that my out of pocket was $350. Would have preferred to know that before the appointment. When I checked out my bill was just shy of $500 with NO treatment. Very angry that they didn't discuss that before hand. I really didn't have $500 to drop that day. Very poor on their part. Prepare to spend A LOT of money if you go here .

Dr. Laughlin is very sweet and very professional. He has put braces on both my kids and we couldn't be happier with their smiles now. He also takes care of mine and my husbands teeth. We have no complaints about him or his great staff.
