Every month Dr. Michael Roessler posts a featured Before & After Case. In this month’s before & after case we have a 25 yr. old young man who did not like the appearance of his teeth.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an exciting treatment option for adult patients and teens who are seeking to straighten their teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign® orthodontics offer the ability to straighten teeth, move misplaced teeth into a more natural position, and make your smile more beautiful, all without the metal wires and brackets that normally accompany orthodontic treatment. Instead, Invisalign® orthodontics are a series of clear aligners that are worn by the patient, and usually go unnoticed by others around them. Michael Roessler, DDS offers Invisalign® in his Mundelein, IL dental practice to his patients without the need to refer them to an orthodontist specialist. (more…)

In our first blog post Dr. Michael Roessler discusses the link between oral health and overall health. There have been many studies analyzing the connection between periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, and heart disease. The Journal of Periodontology conducted a study that found individuals with periodontal disease have an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and cardiovascular disease. The study results help to educate the public about research findings which support what dentists have long suspected: oral hygiene and infections in the mouth can cause damage elsewhere in the body. All the systems in the body are connected. These findings cement the tangible link between your oral health and overall health. They also further reinforce the importance of good oral hygiene.
