Dr. Tavarez wants to know: What do you love about our community?

Tavarez Orthodontics, located in Menlo Park and San Carlos, and serving surrounding communities, is situated around some pretty special neighborhoods here on the San Francisco Peninsula. Each is unique with its own personality, created by the people and places (and our amazing patients) living within.

Today, Dr. Tavarez and our team thought we'd ask: What are your favorite things about Menlo Park, San Carlos or our great community? Is there a local event you attend every year? Do you have a favorite eatery? Perhaps a favorite northern California getaway? Do you love the unique weather we get year-round?

Please feel free to share some tips about your favorite local hang-outs here in town, and everything you love best about “your neck of the woods.” And, who knows, Dr. Tavarez and team just might post your response on our social networks!

Enjoy your weekend!

Ask Dr. Kathleen Tavarez: Who benefits from Invisalign® treatment?

Part of what makes Invisalign "work" is that it's customizable for pretty much anyone. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing Dr. Tavarez does is take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, Dr. Tavarez and our team look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!

Dr. Tavarez is a certified Invisalign provider, and has been named an Invisalign Elite Premier Provider, representing the top 1% of North American practitioners.

If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call!

Have a great weekend!
