In addition to the reduced visual impact, Invisalign® aligning trays can be temporarily removed for important occasions – meaning that treatment duration is patient-controlled. Many people report complete satisfaction with both the Invisalign® treatment and the stunning results.

Traditional orthodontics, of course, refers to metal braces. Even today, our dentists at Mirror Lake Dentistry - Heartland in Heartland, TX believe braces are still the most tried and true orthodontic treatment available. Braces can handle a wide variety of issues ranging from simple to complex. They are extremely durable and very cost-effective, making them perfect for younger patients and adults alike. Braces still use brackets and wires like they always have, but modern-day braces are now smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever.
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards help to protect your teeth from impact injuries and to cushion impacts to reduce mouth, teeth and jaw trauma. They can also help to protect you from concussion injuries. Children and adults both benefit from wearing Sports Guards. And it’s not just football or hockey players that wear them. Any physical activity where there is a risk to a hard contact should include a sports guard.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Mirror Lake Dentistry - Heartland in Heartland, TX encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.
