While front baby teeth start falling out around age 5, the back teeth are needed until 10-12 years old! Did you know that tooth decay and cavities are caused by bacterial infections that can fester in the teeth and attack the body. This is why we fill baby teeth that have cavities. It’s not a good idea to let bacteria fester in teeth. The bacteria in baby teeth can also attack the developing permanent teeth. Early loss of baby teeth can also cause serious and expensive orthodontic problems.

Absolutely! In the hands of experts, Invisalign aligners are able to handle even the most complex cases including impacted canines, orthognathic surgery and setting up adult teeth for implants, veneers and crowns.
