Description
Dr. Goodman focuses on a conservative approach to orthodontics and offers Invisalign® to patients. Invisalign® gently straightens teeth using a set of clear plastic aligners, meaning they are nearly invisible to others during use. Following treatment, a patient's smile is properly aligned, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing.

I, in my practice with orthodontics, focus on fairly minor cases. There's
crowding. There's spacing. It allows me to do things more conservatively in
that I have another option to help fix what their problem is instead of
just utilizing crowns or veneers.
We can do orthodontics a lot of times and straighten the teeth or close
spaces in a way that's very conservative and preserves the tooth structure.
Maybe they have beautiful, white teeth. They just have a few spaces that
could be closed, or their teeth are slightly rotated, and we can turn those
and do something limited in orthodontics.
Invisalign®, again, for those that are very, very concerned about the
cosmetics of traditional brackets and wires, is another option to move
teeth in a way that's very conservative and fairly invisible to most
people. The nice thing about Invisalign® is that you can also take them out
to eat normally and brush and floss your teeth without the brackets and
wires. So there's a little bit of an easier method of cleaning your teeth
as you go through the treatment.
