See Us to Create a Straighter Smile

For most patients, straight teeth equal a beautiful smile. But did you know that a properly aligned bite is also healthier? Overlapped, crooked, or rotated teeth create a daily cleaning challenge. Helping even a couple straggling teeth find their proper place can leave you with a healthier mouth.

Straight teeth aren't just for kids! Adults often make the most dedicated orthodontic patients, and it's never too late to discuss the options for a bright, straight smile. If you're not sure traditional braces are for you, don't worry. Invisible methods can work extremely well in many cases, and the experienced doctors at the Center for Cosmetic & General Dentistry can help you explore the possibilities.

Orthodontics involves teeth straightening while maintaining proper jaw alignment, combining beauty and function. Identifying problems when a child is growing may allow for easier treatment, but it's never too late to discuss ways to enhance your smile! Call now to schedule an appointment.

Look Into Invisalign® for Virtually Invisible Straightening

For ultimate camouflage, tray or aligner systems offer a modern straightening method. These transparent trays offer benefits you'll love.

• Straighten your teeth in stealth mode
• Allow you to eat the foods you like during treatment
• Make cleaning and brushing easy
• Close eye-catching gaps
• Correct overlap/crowding issues

 A series of clear plastic trays are made using 3D digital models of your teeth. Medical-grade plastic without wires, metal, springs, or rubber bands gently move your teeth into place. Continuous pressure on specific teeth with each aligner means less discomfort and, in many cases, shortened treatment times. You'll receive several sets of aligners at a time, allowing you to change to a new tray at home every two weeks.

Removable trays can be set aside for short periods allowing for normal eating and cleaning. Enjoying an apple without the intrusion of brackets and wires works well for many patients. And the smooth plastic surface offers a comfort level to the tongue and cheeks unequaled by other forms of straightening.

Committing to consistent wear, at least 22 hours each day, helps ensure the success of your treatment. While clear aligners work extremely well for adults, a responsible teen can be a suitable candidate too. To learn more about Invisalign, call the Center for Cosmetic & General Dentistry today.
