To Our Patients,

We understand and deeply respect that you may be concerned about Coronavirus in public places… even at our state-of-the-art sterilized office.

At Kennedy Dentistry, I want to assure you that our office has even further heightened our already rigid sterilization safeguards and office cleaning standards to minimize the possibility of transmission to our outstanding team…or to you, our valued patient. We have always far exceeded all standards for sterilization and patient care.

Our first priority is always the health and well-being of our patients. And that is a priority we take extremely seriously, even with the current disruptions we’re all experiencing.

Your dental health remains important to us as it plays such an important role in your overall health.

When you visit our office, you’ll see we’ve taken all the necessary steps to ensure you have the best patient experience possible. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please do not come to our office and call us to reschedule your appointment. We care for you and all our patients. If we see any symptoms in our patients or our team, we will reschedule the appointment on the spot and send that individual home.

It is just one more way that we can show our high level of care for you…and for everyone in our community. We very much look forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends very soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patrick Kennedy
Kennedy Dentistry

Clear Teeth Aligners Are the Modern Way to Straighten Teeth

Invisalign® revolutionized the orthodontics industry when it introduced clear teeth aligners in 1997. This teeth-straightening method is still considered relatively new when compared to traditional braces, which have been around for decades.

Invisalign® offers orthodontic patients a great alternative to clunky metal braces. Instead of metal brackets, bands, and wires, all patients have to do is slip comfortable, clear aligners over their teeth.

ClearCorrect® came along a few years later in 2006, adding yet another fantastic alternative to choose from. It works like Invisalign® – the aligners are comfortable and easy to use, and they are so transparent that they are barely noticeable by others. Your orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to be on display for the whole world to see.

Plus, with either system, the aligners are easy to remove for eating, drinking, brushing, or special occasions. Just be sure to wear them at all times otherwise. ClearCorrect® recommends at least 22 hours per day, while Invisalign® tells users to wear them at minimum 20-22 hours.

When you come in for your initial consultation, we’ll help you decide which orthodontic option is right for you. Both methods are fast, and you could complete your treatment in as few as 12 months, not two years or longer like traditional braces usually take.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

It’s possible that orthodontic treatment will result in slight changes to the appearance of your face. Once your bite is adjusted, it can affect the appearance of your jaw, especially in younger patients. Realigning teeth can also sometimes change how your lips look, making them appear slightly more or less full.

Your dental insurance and/or health insurance may cover some of the cost of orthodontics. If treatment is undertaken strictly for cosmetic reasons (making your teeth look better vs. correcting a misaligned bite), it likely won’t be covered. For orthodontics to be covered, you will need to have insurance before treatment begins. With most policies, a lifetime maximum will be in place. You can also use third-party financing from CareCredit to pay for orthodontics.

The cost varies widely, depending on factors including the severity of the problems being addressed, the type of treatment you choose, and the length of treatment. Our dentists will help you determine the most appropriate treatment for your smile. If your treatment involves clear aligners, like Invisalign® or ClearCorrect®, it’s important to wear your aligners the recommended 22 hours a day. If not, your treatment will take longer and may cost more.
