Dental Products
Dr. Maureen O' Flanagan offers several products to help her patients achieve their dental health goals including the Inman Aligner, PerioProtect, and the Pola Advanced Tooth Whitening System. Please call 954-427-3755 to find out how you can obtain these products.
Inman Aligner
The Inman Aligner is a fantastic, simple and hassle-free way to straighten your front teeth. It is the orthodontic treatment of choice for adult relapse.
In the past anyone with crooked teeth has had only a few choices. Fixed braces and clear braces work well but are slow and can also be costly.
Because of this many people choose to have porcelain veneers instead. This often involves heavy grinding of the teeth to get them into the right position. As a result many patients choose to do nothing and just live with it.
However the Inman Aligner now gives us all a very real alternative. Because it works so quickly and efficiently you can now have your front teeth straightened in as little as 6 -16 weeks.
This also means that anyone considering veneers to align their teeth now has a far more conservative solution. You might not even need veneers at all.
Even if veneers are absolutely necessary because your teeth are so discoloured and mis-shapen, the Inman Aligner is the perfect way to align the teeth quickly, before the veneers are prepared.

PerioProtect
Perio Protect is a new, home care treatment program for periodontal disease using a dentist-created and FDA-cleared medical device that can deliver doctor-prescribed medications to the source of periodontal infections. These medications address the pathogens that cause gum disease.
The medical device is a set of custom fabricated Perio Protect Trays™ that are easy to use and comfortable to wear. The Perio Protect Trays offer varying thickness and differing extensions to support a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents of the dentist's choosing into the infected area (gingival sulcus) and that maintains the medications for a sufficient time to control the bacteria causing the infection. As healing occurs, patients alter the frequency and duration that they wear their trays.
Dr. Maureen O'Flanagan is a licensed Perio Protect partner. Once she completes precise impressions of a patient's mouth, the impressions are sent to a dental lab where customized trays are made to meet an individual patient's needs and conditions.
Patients' response to treatment has proven to be extremely rapid, and patient acceptance has been outstanding. The method is easy to follow and painless, and the medications help to control the bacteria that cause the disease infection.
