Dr. Jeffrey Just discusses the Damon® System

We've told you about the advantage of Invisalign treatment and other treatments at Just Orthodontics, but today thought we'd share some information on the Damon® System.

A lot of our patients, (especially you parents!) come to Dr. Jeffrey Just thinking traditional braces are the only answer to straight teeth. Here at Just Orthodontics, we offer the Damon System, a revolutionary new braces system that can give you better results in less time!

Am I right for the Damon System?

Dr. Just will evaluate your eligibility for the Damon System, and the procedure can be performed for children and adults alike!

What makes Damon braces better?

Probably the biggest advantage of Damon braces over traditional brackets is the amount of time and effort involved. Just Orthodontics can often cut months off of the total treatment time for patients using the Damon System, and less visits to our office are necessary to make adjustments.

If you have any questions about the Damon System or your treatment here at Just Orthodontics, please let us know by posting here or giving us a call!

Have a great weekend!

A few helpful Invisalign® tips, from Just Orthodontics

You may remember we blogged about the advantage of Invisalign a couple of weeks ago. Today, we thought we'd share a few helpful Invisalign tips with you, our terrific patients.

When wearing your Invisalign aligners, Dr. Just wants you to ask yourself the following questions:

1. Am I eating with my aligners on? - These aligners are removable and should be taken out when you eat.

2. Am I drinking anything other than water with my aligners on? - Though it's not a necessity for you to take out your aligners while you drink, think about how sticky a soda is. If you take out your aligners when drinking a soda, you have a better chance of keeping your aligners clean.

3. Am I brushing before putting the trays on? - The aligners have both an inside and outside. Keeping the outside clean is easy. Keeping the inside clean is also easy: just make sure you've brushed your teeth before putting the trays on.

These are all very simple steps, and ultimately, they help to keep you building good oral habits. If you have any questions about Invisalign or your treatment here at Just Orthodontics, please don't hesitate to give us a call!

Is Invisalign® really customized for each patient? Dr. Just has the answer

Yes, it is, and that’s part of what makes it work, says Dr. Just. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next, Dr. Just and our team use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Just is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call.

Happy Wednesday!
