Thanks to Invisalign with Dr. Farrah, mom and dad can have an amazing smile, too!

Hey parents! Focusing on your kids' teeth and oral health so much that you've been neglecting your own? If you've been wishing for your own set of perfect teeth, please give us a call 512-634-8254! Dr. Farrah Agahi is a Certified Invisalign® Provider in Austin and surrounding communities.

Invisalign, which consists of a set of clear aligners that are molded to fit your teeth, 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 the best part is, is that no one will know it but you!

Please give us a call to set up a complimentary consultation, so you can discuss the specifics of your treatment with Dr. Farrah. We hope you had a great weekend!
