Get that film-star smile

MANILA, Philippines - Ever wonder how those artistas — be it in Hollywood or in local show world — are able to flash winning smiles, showcasing their pearly white and perfectly straight teeth?

In the US, movie stars and models are the first to line up to avail of Invisalign, the newest craze in cosmetic dentistry. Because they are braces without wires, almost invisible at that, those who are in the limelight and in high profile professions like actors and politicians go for this latest craze. The likes of Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Oprah Winfrey an Gwen Stefani got their perfect set of teeth because of Invisalign, which cost somewhere from $7000 to $900.

Filipinos need not fly to the US nor shell out that large a sum because Invisalign is now here at the Beverly Hills 6750.

Invisalign is a series of transparent and removable teeth aligners used as an alternative to metal dental braces. It works just the same as metal braces do but with added benefits such as easier brushing and flossing on the patients’ part.

As clear as it is, Invisalign corrects crooked teeth without making it obvious to everyone that you are wearing one.

“In the US, celebrities or politicians have taken to Invisalign because it is practically unseen and they can conduct their business or profession without being caught wearing unsightly braces,” said Dr. Don Magadia, head of the dental section of Beverly Hills.

“We are proud that Invisalign technology has finally arrived in the country. Although it can cost more that $7000 to have them installed in the US, the cost is a lot less here in the Philippines, with the same efficiency and dramatic results,” added Mr. Magadia.
