Hey parents! Focusing on your children's teeth, bite and oral health so much that you're neglecting your own lately? If you've been thinking about having your own set of perfectly-aligned teeth, Dr. Kathleen Tavarez and our staff at Tavarez Orthodontics would love to help! Dr. Tavarez has been named an Invisalign Elite Premier Provider, representing the top 1% of North American practitioners, and is specially trained to offer this treatment in San Carlos and Menlo Park.
Invisalign consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth, and are to be worn 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 650-489-4125 to set up a consultation, so we can discuss the specifics of your treatment.
We hope you're having a great summer so far!

With summer already halfway over, Dr. Tavarez and our staff would like to remind our athletes in treatment to take care of both your mouth and appliances while participating in contact sports (and non-contact sports as well). Remember: Only by using a mouth guard can kids with and without braces avoid serious sports injuries. And don't forget to ask us for a mouth guard - Dr. Tavarez will provide one for anyone in active treatment! Have a great rest of the summer! Be sure to post your summer adventures on our Facebook page!

Dr. Kathleen Tavarez and team know that most folks take a vacation during the summer. Most, however, often forget to pack the most important of things.

We strongly encourage you to give this article a read if you’re heading out with the family this summer. Here are even more tips you can use to ensure your vacation packing – and the traveling itself – goes as smooth as possible!
Happy traveling!
