Want straighter teeth and a more beautiful smile? Consider Great Neck Natural Smiles, where we provide gentle care in a comfortable atmosphere while utilizing the latest technological advances in dentistry to treat all phases of orthodontics. Our orthodontists have several different options for our patients of all ages considering braces, including adults, allowing for an orthodontic treatment that best suits the individual needs of each patient. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces, or transparent aligners that can be worn to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth, called Invisalign, now available in Great Neck Invisalign.
While many people have corrective orthodontic procedures done early in their lives, it is not uncommon for adults and even seniors to undergo orthodontic treatments. In fact, currently almost 20% of all orthodontic patients are adults. At first the idea of braces as an adult may seem unaesthetic or uncomfortable. Among the most common complaints from our adult patients when dealing with orthodontic treatment is that braces can be unattractive. In order to address this issue, our orthodontists offer Great Neck Invisalign. This allows us to straighten your teeth by using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. They are virtually undetectable, so hardly anyone will realize you’re wearing them. These aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your Invisalign dentist. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks (only being taken out to eat, brush, and floss), and is then replaced with a new one that will further shift your teeth towards their final alignment. This can be done in as few as 12 or as many as 48 aligners, depending on the needs of each individual patient. This method for straightening your teeth is virtually invisible.
Orthodontics isn’t just for kids, and you’re never too old to start smiling your most beautiful smile yet. Orthodontic treatment at later stages in life can dramatically improve your personal appearance and self-esteem. Improving the health of your teeth and gums is equally important at every age. So if you’re looking to straighten your teeth, whether for cosmetic or medical purposes, especially if you’re considering Great Neck Invisalign, then you should call Great Neck Natural Smiles. Our office will be more than happy to discuss the varied options for your braces, and help you decide which style is right for you.
