We offer two treatment options for mild to moderate orthodontic cases. The main advantage to using these methods is treatment time. Our usual goal is to complete treatment in 6-8 months. This differs from traditional orthodontics which can take 1-2 years. Straight teeth offer many benefits including:
At our office, we offer a removable solution to braces rather than the traditional method of brackets. Clear Correct is aligners that fit directly onto the teeth and are possibly invisible when worn. They would need to be removed when eating, cleaning or oral hygiene.
Orthodontic braces were historically associated with teenagers. Today, an increasing number of adults are choosing to wear braces to straighten their teeth and correct malocclusions (bad bites). In fact, it is now estimated that almost one third of all current orthodontic patients are adults.
Orthodontic braces are predictable, versatile and incredibly successful at re-aligning the teeth. Braces work in the same way regardless of the age of the patient, but the treatment time is greatly reduced in patients who are still experiencing jaw growth and have not been affected by gum disease. In short, an adult can experience the same beautiful end results as a teenager.
