For adults interested in finally addressing their misalignment, but who also worry about the impact on their professional appearance, we can offer cosmetic options. With our adult cosmetic orthodontics, our team can provide clear aligners and more that can shift the teeth in as little as six months to a year. With Dr. McDavid and our oral health experts in Lancaster, OH, we can offer even smiles in a short time period, often with practically invisible orthodontics.
The Importance of an Even Smile
When you correct your dental misalignment, this can obviously improve the overall appearance of your smile, so you feel more confident and never hesitate to show off your smile. But correcting your uneven teeth also helps safeguard the health and function of your smile too. Uneven teeth can make thorough brushing and flossing difficult and leave you vulnerable to issues like tooth decay or gum disease. You could also end up with strained jaw joints and bite imbalance, which then increases the risk of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). We want to help you enjoy optimal oral health!
Invisalign® and ClearCorrect™
We will begin by examining your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment, so we can choose the most appropriate treatment for you. For many minor cases, we could offer cosmetic treatment with clear Invisalign® or ClearCorrect™ aligners. These are crafted based on detailed digital images and measurements we take of your smile. Treatment involves wearing a set of plastic aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day over a period of two weeks. You then begin wearing the next set for the same amount of time, as your smile is gradually shifted. Optimal results could take as little as one year. These are not only clear in appearance, but removable! You can take them out before meals, so no need to change your diet. You can also remove them before you brush and floss, so you can enjoy better oral health during treatment.
Six Month Smiles
For some, we could offer results in only a matter of months. With Six Month Smiles, we can shift the visible portions of your teeth instead of the entirety of the root structure, which means optimal results in as little as half a year. We will attach brackets and arch wires to your teeth, but unlike traditional braces, these will be shaded to blend with your smile and remain practically invisible. If you have any questions, contact our team today.
