SureSmile/"Fix Your Kisser"



Check out SureSmile braces at work on an episode of ABC's "The Doctors." At the orthodontic office of Dr. John White, we love working with SureSmile technology, as it is faster and produces better results than traditional braces. Take a look at the video, and be sure to let us know what you think.

Happy Monday! By the way, starting today on KISS-FM 96.5, the station is running a "Fix Your Kisser" contest. You can submit yourself or submit someone else. The winner gets a full set of braces or Invisalign treatment and a tooth whitening with Zoom (in office power bleach) at our office!

Give us a call for more info!

Ask Dr. White: What's the connection between Invisalign and oral health?


When considering treatment options, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than wearing traditional braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign with Dr. John C. White than you may know. Invisalign is a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible, and besides straightening your teeth, can improve your oral health. Here’s how:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque and even gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing:
Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, please post your question on our Facebook page or give us a call at 330-650-1660.
