Riverwood Dental is a modern, state-of-the-art clinic that provides a warm environment for patients to receive the ultimate in dental care. The team can now help patients achieve beautifully straightened smiles with OrthoFX™ clear aligners.
ATLANTA, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Located at 3350 Riverwood Parkway, Suite 2120 in Atlanta, GA, Riverwood Dental delivers cutting-edge, quality dental care for all ages in a comfortable atmosphere. The clinic is proud to now offer OrthoFX™ clear aligners, as a convenient alternative to traditional braces. They are made of clear, durable material and are custom-made to fit each individual. OrthoFX clear aligners are virtually invisible with no brackets or bands, and the system consists of a series of clear polymer aligners that are custom-made to fit teeth. The aligners are worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and are removed only for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. As adult patients progress through the series of aligners, teeth will gradually move into their new, straighter positions. Orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance, alignment and function of the smile. It can also help to prevent or reduce future problems with the teeth and jaw. The OrthoFX system is an affordable alternative to other clear aligner systems, and the polymer material doesn’t stain like aligners made from plastic. Beyond these advantages, OrthoFX accelerates treatment progress by providing new aligners on a weekly basis (rather than bi-weekly), and the process is monitored by AI to ensure accuracy and predictability.
“We are excited to offer this exceptional orthodontic treatment and are currently offering a special $1500 off OrthoFX clear aligners and a free consultation,” says Dr. Nisha Patel.

MySpectrum was founded with a goal of changing the way mental health is viewed through innovative therapy services that meet the needs of every person, every spectrum, throughout the whole life continuum. MySpectrum offered Teletherapy before the pandemic when many were challenging the effectiveness of this model. Throughout the pandemic, many tech start-ups and private practices jumped to this method of service delivery out of necessity or as a business possibility. MySpectrum continued to build upon a foundation in place before others saw the opportunity. Through Teletherapy at MySpectrum, therapy can be provided online, in a way that is safe, convenient, and affordable with a professional Therapist. Mental health is a process, not a destination, and throughout the process, MySpectrum is here – number 244 on the Inc 5000.
