Orthodontics: For Children and Adults

We are pleased to announce that we will now be able to better serve you by providing full-time orthodontic services. With much excitement, we introduce Dr. Larry Scarborough, who will be joining our practice as a full-time orthodontist starting July , 2011.

As many of you know, Dr. Zachary Casagrande has been providing orthodontic services at our practice once a month for the last three years. He has worked closely with Dr. Scarborough throughout his residency and feels that he is an essential addition to our growing practice. Dr. Casagrande is thrilled to pass the torch to Dr. Scarborough and will be available as needed during this transition period.

•Invisalign ®

Invisalign® is the clear alternative to straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners that are virtually invisible. You can take them out for daily necessities like eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. Because the aligners are comfortable and complimentary to your smile, Invisalign® is a great alternative to traditional braces.

Rusnak Family Dentistry is a Certified Invisalign® Provider

Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted — without braces. A complimentary consultation can determine if Invisalign is right for you.

What is it?

Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign.

Why would I want it?

Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Rusnak has prescribed. You'll visit the office about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
