Clear aligners, such as those used in Invisalign therapy, can yield amazing results in creating better smiles. But not all aligner companies are created equal. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, check out which major player filed for bankruptcy last month (and why I continue to choose Invisalign as our preferred company for aligner therapy).

We’ve been getting a lot more adult patients coming through the door with interest in Invisalign treatment to create that perfect smile. And I have to tell you, Invisalign is a game-changer! For all my adult readers out there, this #fridaypfisterfix about considering Invisalign treatment is dedicated to you. And there’s a special offer for you at the end of the article!

Okay, from time-to-time I’ve been known to get a little “sciency” with the #fridaypfisterfix. And I suppose I’m guilty of it in this week’s edition. But to all the parents out there with young children, you don’t want to miss this one! I talk about an early intervention in orthodontics that can save your children a ton of health problems / discomfort (and you a ton of money) down the road.

I’m often asked what has been the biggest change in Orthodontics in my 35+ years in practice. I’ve seen us go from full metal bands to one-surface brackets, from chemical bonding of braces to super-efficient light cure adhesives, and from metal brackets to clear polymer trays for moving teeth.

In the past few weeks’ Team Member Spotlights, I introduced you to my Orthodontic Smile Team. During our 36 years in practice, we have amassed a combined 211 years of experience in orthodontics (including myself). And with experience comes a willingness to adapt and overcome. In this week’s #fridaypfisterfix, I reflect on lessons in adapting to change and what that might mean for overcoming the challenges of COVID-19.
