Thanks to Invisalign®, moms and dads can have a great smile without wearing braces!


Hey parents! Focusing on your kids' teeth and oral health so much that you're neglecting your own? If you've been thinking about having your own set of perfectly-aligned teeth, our team at Dr. Roy McAnnally DDS can help! Dr. McAnnally is specially trained to offer an adult-friendly option for straightening teeth called Invisalign. In fact, Dr. McAnnally is a perennial member of Align Technology’s Century Club, an honorary membership bestowed annually upon the 100 largest Invisalign providers in the world.

Invisalign treatment consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth using a proprietary technology. You wear them all day and night, except for meals, brushing, and flossing – when you can easily slip them out to make eating and cleaning a snap!

Because they're clear, your teeth will be steadily straightening – and no one will know it but you! Please give us a call at 248-647-0696 to set up a FREE, no-obligation consultation, so we can discuss the specifics of your treatment.

What makes braces so cool?


Today, braces are seen as “cool” and in many cases, “fun.” These were among the findings presented in a 2010 nationwide survey of mothers whose children are going through or have had orthodontic treatment. New technologies such as Invisalign and the Damon System, advanced computer software, color options, and even popular celebrities sporting braces are making orthodontic treatment more comfortable, fashionable and cool for today’s kids.

The study, conducted on behalf of our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists for February’s National Children’s Dental Health Month, found 86 percent of moms reporting that braces are cooler today than when they were children. Sixty-nine percent of moms also said wearing braces makes their children feel cool, and 81 percent reported their child’s experience with orthodontic treatment as either positive or extremely positive.

Has your child visited the office of Dr. Roy McAnnally for a FREE, no-obligation examination? If not, please give us a call at 248-282-7298 and let us help your child begin the journey to a gorgeous smile!

Enjoy your weekend!

Ask us for suggestions, and our staff (and Dr. McAnnally would be happy to provide a few suggestions.
