Invisalign - Affordable and Invisible Braces

When most of us think of braces, we think of money and for too many of us, money is quite tight these days.

Most typical orthodontic braces generally cost between $5500 and $6500. This isn’t the case with Invisalign, the most popular kind of clear and invisible braces. And it’s definitely not the case at Livonia Dental Care. Our cost ranges from 2500.00 to $5700.00, significantly less than traditional braces.

Using advanced 3-D computer-imaging technology, Invisalign depicts your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, until the final position of your teeth is achieved.

Your Invisalign treatment time will be determined by one of Livonia Dental Care’s expert dentists, Jay Nitzkin DDS or Rohit Arora DDS, based on your specific needs.

Dentist-Friendly School Lunch Ideas

It is that time of year again as kids head back to school and moms are busy packing lunches. But since it is unlikely your child will be brushing his or her teeth following their trip through the cafeteria, it is important to choose the right teeth-friendly lunchbox foods.



Here a few things to keep in mind when packing school lunches.


Foods to Avoid


Stay away from foods that are sticky and sweet as they will linger on the teeth and promote decay. Gummy fruit snacks, chewy candies, chocolate, sugary drinks, cookies and dried fruit should be avoided. Instead, make these snacks “treats” and wait to serve them until you’re at home and can brush your child’s teeth once they have eaten them.


Foods to Load Up On


There are plenty of healthy snacks and foods that you can pack in your child’s lunchbox. Keep in mind that the best foods for your child’s teeth are those that minimally-processed and natural.


Here are a few healthy snack and lunch ideas that will keep your child’s mouth and their body healthy, and will also give them the energy they need to take on the rest of their school day.


• Vegetables (raw and cut up) and fresh fruit (as opposed to canned or sweetened dried fruit)


• Whole-grain crackers and cheese


• Hard-boiled eggs


• Plain yogurt sweetened with fresh fruit


• Nuts and seeds


• Whole-grain breads and whole-grain and unsweetened cereals
