that children should see an orthodon- tist at the first sign of problems or, at the latest, before they turn 7. Early treatment, Dr. Hershon said, “ensures the best result and the least amount of time and expense.” Once they reach their early teen
years, youngsters can solve the prob- lems caused by crooked teeth without saying goodbye to their favorite foods or being concerned about partici- pating on athletic teams or playing musical instruments. By the time they reach the age of 11 or 12, when most of their adult teeth have appeared, they can take advantage of Invisalign, clear, near-invisible aligners made of flexible biomedical plastic. Te aligners must be worn for at least 20 hours each day, but they can be easily removed for eating, brushing, flossing and participating in sports and other activities. For many teens, traditional
metal braces are a relic of the past. Dr. Hershon, an orthodontist for
over 35 years, has provided Invis- align treatment to more than 300 patients in the past eight years. He

to everyone,” Dr. Hershon comment- ed. “And unlike traditional braces, In- visalign requires no emergency visits.” He explained that he uses photo- graphs, X-rays and impressions to make a series of clear plastic aligners designed specifically for each patient. Te patient wears each aligner for two weeks, then moves on to the
University, the University of Mary- land School of Dentistry and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, has served on the faculty at Harvard and the Medical College of Virginia and is now an associate clinical pro- fessor at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. He is a Premier Provider in the Invisalign and Invisalign Teen techniques and is also a boarded specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.
