The teeth are the icebergs of the skeletal system, tiny exposed tips that represent the body’s massive, concealed support structure. Today’s Groupon ensures your bodily spokespeople stand straight and true: for $49, you get an invisible braces exam, x-rays, and impressions at Fountains Family Dentistry in Fairview Heights, Illinois (a $350 value). In addition, today's Groupon also gets you $1,000 toward future treatments.

Guided by the dental directives of Dr. Ty Parker and his supportive supporting staff, Fountains Family Dentistry treats smiles to stress-free servicing by way of innovative technologies and compassionate care. Take the first step toward turning smiles into glistening bastions of dental order with an invisible-braces exam, a gateway to ensuring your enamel planks remain attractively straight for family portraits, passports, and mug shots. During the introductory appointment, Dr. Parker performs an initial exam to determine overall tooth health and suitability for invisible braces, then takes x-ray photographs and full-mouth impressions that can be used to create custom braces that will fit like a snug, invisible mouth glove. Groupon customers who elect to continue with the transparent treatment can also take advantage of a $1,000 discount, to be used as they return to the office every 4–6 weeks for a new set of aligners (total treatment duration is 12–24 months with an estimated total cost up to $5000).

Removable and imperceptible to the naked or scantily clad eye, invisible braces allow for easy cleaning and are ideal for adults who hope to avoid the shiny metallic smiles of yester-year. In addition to offering affordable, efficient dental services, the new offices of Dr. Parker also boast a modern beverage center, comfortable furniture, a soothing waterfall fountain, and a television for watching Kojak while you wait.
