Orthodontic Treatments Have Evolved

Orthodontic treatments are not the same as they were in earlier eras of dentistry. Our methods are always improving, and your options as a patient are always expanding. Still, the general idea and end goal remains roughly the same as it has ever been: to end up with a healthier, better-looking smile. To get your troublesome teeth to where they need to be, we simply have to create and execute a plan for shifting the position of those teeth gradually.

You Have Choices

We are confident that when you come in for your orthodontic consultation at A Downtown Dental Group, we’ll be able to help you decide on the best course of action for your current needs and budget. Essentially, we’ll be picking from the following programs:

  • Traditional Braces

Classic metal brackets and wires have been successfully straightening teeth for many years. Even now they are one of the most dependable treatments for a wide range of alignment problems. Importantly, they can be counted on for the most severe cases. While this treatment can take several years to complete, the end result is a fantastic-looking smile.

We like to highlight Invisalign, because this method offers a substantially different approach to the orthodontic treatment process. As it happens, you won’t be expected to wear any brackets or wires. No metal will be placed in your mouth. You get to wear custom-built clear aligners for about 12 months instead. Each aligner is meant to be worn for a couple of weeks at a time. You swap your aligners out yourself at home. And each time you do so you will be pushing your teeth a little closer to their final positions. As an added perk, the aligners are nearly invisible, so no one will have to know you are wearing “braces” at all.
