Back in the day, there was only one tooth straightening method – traditional braces with a metal wire. Now, with advances in orthodontics, comes Invisalign treatment – a clear aligner system – that allows you to straighten your teeth invisibly. Fortunately for patients, Dr. Edison Han, DDS, FAGD of College Street Family Dental is an Invisalign provider, so patients can have confidence while on their journey to a healthier smile.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that is committed to continuous innovation. After a consultation where Dr. Han will take impressions of your teeth, your custom-made aligners will be created for your mouth and your mouth only. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Additionally, they are removable, so you will be able to eat, drink, brush, and floss, regularly. After wearing each set of aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place.

Oral Cancer Screening
The oral cavity includes your lips, cheek lining, gums, the front part of your tongue, floor of the mouth beneath the tongue and the hard palate that makes up the roof of your mouth. Research has identified a number of factors that increase the risk of developing cancer in these tissues. When you visit Dr. Edison Han, DDS, FAGD, he may suggest oral cancer screening to identify mouth cancer early, when there is a greater chance for a cure.
Oral cancer screening is an examination performed by Dr. Edison Han, DDS, FAGD right here in the office. This procedure is done during a routine dental visit to look for signs of cancer or precancerous conditions in the mouth. Symptoms of oral cancer include a sore or irritation that doesn’t go away, red or white patches on tissues in the oral cavity, as well as difficulty chewing, swallowing, or speaking. It’s important to understand that just because your dentist may recommend an oral cancer screening; it doesn’t necessarily mean you have cancer.
