Many people procrastinate going to their biannual dental visits. Whether it’s dental anxiety or embarrassment of how long it has been, it can be easy to keep putting off getting a checkup and cleaning. Once you are there, it can even be tempting to tell a few white lies to your dentist; it may feel uncomfortable revealing the full the truth about your oral health care habits!

Most people want to have straight teeth because they want that perfect-looking smile. But straighter teeth offer more than just improving your appearance.

When it comes to realigning your teeth with orthodontics, Invisalign or traditional braces are amazing options for the smile you desire! Here’s all you need to know about both so you can decide which would be best for you.
