Fort Worth Cosmetic Dentists Attend Invisalign Summit

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- The Fort Worth cosmetic dental team of Dr. Robert Batton, D.D.S. and Dr. Justin Harlin, D.D.S., along with their three dental hygienists and entire clinical team, recently attended the Invisalign Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Fort Worth dentistry team is already Invisalign certified and strives to remain at the forefront of information related to cosmetic and general dentistry, which is why Drs. Batton and Harlin made the decision to have their entire staff attend the summer conference.

The Invisalign Summit was based around the theme of evolution, and a great deal of focus was placed during the conference on changes being made by Align Technology, creators of Invisalign, in order to better serve patients’ oral health needs and concerns. Invisalign straightens teeth without the unsightly brackets or discomfort of traditional braces. The invisible aligners not only improve the aesthetic look of smiles, but by straightening teeth they can also help to prevent gum disease. Since straighter teeth make it easier to brush and floss more thoroughly, the incidence of gum disease can be reduced, which in turn can reduce a variety of other health risks. Recent studies have shown links between gum disease and many other health issues, including heart disease.

“We strive to remain at the forefront of any and all information, technology and procedures that can benefit our patients, whether that information is related to oral health or cosmetic dentistry options” explains Dr. Batton. “That is why we felt it was important to have our entire staff attend the Invisalign Summit. By doing so, we received up-to-date information on ways to help our patients achieve their oral and general health goals, while also improving the look of their smiles.”

Most of the Fort Worth Invisalign team at Drs. Batton and Harlin’s offices received their initial Invisalign training directly from Align Technology when Invisalign was first introduced to the public. Since that time more than ten years ago, Dr. Batton has been recognized as a premier provider of Invisalign in the Fort Worth, Texas area and has created many beautiful smiles utilizing the Invisalign technology. “It’s great to know that these aligners can not only improve a patient’s smile, but they can help to improve their overall well-being as well. That’s certainly a win-win situation.”
