Shorter Treatment Times for Orthodontics

With the latest advancements in correcting the problems of a crooked smile, treatment time is much shorter than ever. Although it varies from person to person, it is rarely a 3 – 5 year commitment anymore. In 6 – 24 months, you can have the smile of your dreams.

Traditional braces are now more comfortable, cost effective, and time tested to produce great results. We provide a complimentary consultation to get you started.

Prevention to Eliminate the Need for Braces

Our doctors take care of both routine dental care and orthodontics for your children. When they are at the crucial ages between 6 and 11, patterns of craniofacial disharmony can be identified for early correction, which saves time and money in the long run. Our dentists will address problems of crowding, mismatch of lower and upper jaws, and crossbites and be able to correct them in 6 – 18 months – and sometimes less!

Can You Straighten Your Teeth in Just Six Months?

Yes! Short-term orthodontics is now possible. There is a revolutionary technique that changes only the teeth that are shown in your smile. It is a gentle method that takes care of the problems of gaps, crowding, and overlapping in only six months, and sometimes even less! If you would love to have a beautiful, straight smile but do not want to commit to a long-term treatment time, this new technology is the perfect option for you!

Another advantage of short-term orthodontics is that they are barely noticeable. The brackets and wires are clear, and wearing them is very comfortable. Short treatment time allows better hygiene for a nice, clean look when brackets are removed.

There is yet another benefit to this type of orthodontics. They are very affordable and less expensive than regular braces, aligners, or veneers. So why wait any longer? Give us a call today, and within a matter of months you will have a gorgeous, new smile!

A Clear Alternative in Orthodontics

With ClearCorrect™ invisible aligners, you can have a new smile in as few as 9 to 15 months! These aligners correct the problems of over-bite, under-bite, and cross-bite, as well as overcrowding or gaps in teeth.

ClearCorrect uses 3-D imaging technology to draw up a complete treatment plan, starting at the current position of your teeth and progressing to your favorable new smile. From the plan, thermoplastic aligners are made that fit your specific teeth. Approximately every two weeks you change to a new set of aligners as each set gently and gradually makes changes to your smile. Generally, treatment time is about a year but varies somewhat for each patient, and evaluation in our office is only every one to two months.

Advantages of ClearCorrect

Wearing invisible aligners maintains your confidence while in active treatment. No one will know you are straightening your teeth unless they look very closely.

They are also comfortable to wear. There are no metal parts to be adjusted and no headgear that can be irritating to your mouth and jaw. As the aligners are all in one piece, you spend much less time in the dental chair, because no adjustments are necessary.

Best of all, there are no restrictions on what you can eat or drink during your treatment time. They are removable for eating and cleaning your teeth, and otherwise, you wear them all day and throughout your sleep. You will have a beautiful new smile with a clean and healthy look upon completion!
