We want to help you smile!Thanks to exciting new dental technology, we are happy to now offer orthodontic services at our office. Crowding or “crooked” teeth are extremely common in adults, especially in lower teeth. While many adults are hesitant to have metal brackets and wires placed on their teeth, we can now give you the smile you’ve been wanting with just clear plastic trays, similar to Invisalign. For many patients, 3 to 9 short months of treatment are all that is required to create a smile they are excited to show off.

How does it work? Using our Primescan Intraoral Scanner, we capture a digital scan of your teeth. This process is comfortable and only takes about 10 minutes. We also take some “before” photos and update x-rays if it’s been a while since your last set. After gathering all that information, we send it to our orthodontic partners, Clear Correct, who help us create your new smile. With their assistance, we determine how long your personalized treatment will take. We usually only take on cases that can be completed in 3 to 9 months. If giving you your dream smile will take longer, we will typically refer you to a local orthodontist.
Moving your teeth to an ideal position is accomplished with clear plastic trays. We call them “aligners,” as they gradually align your teeth. Each tray is worn for 2 weeks and moves your teeth a small amount. Each month you come into the office for a check-up and to receive the next two trays. Wearing the aligners is easy and very convenient. |
They are taken out while eating, but otherwise worn all day and night. Most patients tell us they don’t mind wearing them at all and are glad that they aren’t as noticeable as the traditional brackets and wires. Keeping your teeth clean is easy too, as you just remove the trays when brushing and flossing and then put them right back in.
At this time, we are offering this service for adults only, as we prefer our patients who are still growing to see an orthodontist. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call and schedule a visit. We can quickly tell you if your smile goals can be treated with our new Clear Correct aligners. We look forward to helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted!
