Washington DC cosmetic dentist, Dr. Peter Merai of Comprehensive Dental Care of Oxon Hill, says the unwillingness of getting braces is a thing of the past.  Clear braces by Invisalign help adults and children achieve a perfectly straight smile without anyone knowing that they are using the special Invisalign system.  Dr. Merai is now offering $1,000 off Invisalign braces. 

Invisalign braces offer Dr. Merai’s Oxon Hill patients an ‘invisible’ way to straighten their teeth, an attractive alternative to traditional metal braces for many patients.  The Invisalign system uses a series of ‘invisible’ clear removable aligners to move teeth over time, resulting in a perfectly straight smile.

Dr. Merai says that there are many benefits of getting fitted with Invisalign braces over metal braces.  “Unlike traditional metal braces, the Invisalign braces are removable, so patients can eat or drink whatever they want simply by removing the aligners,” says Dr. Merai.  “This also helps patients maintain proper oral hygiene by allowing them to brush and floss as usual.”

Only trained providers of Invisalign like Dr. Merai can treat patients with the system.  More information about Invisalign braces for Washington DC residents can be found online at http://www.washingtondccosmeticdentists.net/washington-dc-dentists-dental-services/invisalign-braces/
