Invisible Braces for Teens
Invisalign allows teens to straighten their teeth without having to show any metal. These are particularly good for spaced teeth.
This week, a patient from Gresham asked me what would be best for closing his spaced front teeth.
I told him that the Invisalign trays would cover up the spaces as soon as he put them in and make them look much smaller.

Shark Teeth
A surprising number of children develop a double row of teeth, especially on the lower front teeth. A six year old girl from Gresham saw me last week in my Portland office with just this condition.
Her mother was concerned that the permanent lower incisors would stay inside the lower primary (baby) incisors and look abnormal. She called them “shark teeth”.
Although this usually happens with lower incisors, it can also occur with upper incisors or primary molars.
