Teeth straightening with orthodontics and braces
When teeth are moved using orthodontics, consistent low pressure over time creates spaces between teeth. Once the spaces are made, the tooth is guided into place. This process is repeated until teeth are coaxed into the desired positions. Every treatment plan is different, but most orthodontics take at least a year, possibly two years or more to see results. Many adults would like to straighten their teeth but would prefer a shorter treatment time. Today, teenagers and adults have options other than the traditional braces.
Do you need an orthodontist to straighten your teeth?
Dr. Tartagni is not an orthodontist but he is a skilled cosmetic dentist who can help teens and adults achieve a straighter, healthier smile with the clear braces methods of Invisalign or Six Month Smiles. Because these orthodontic methods are focused on the cosmetic appearance teeth and not on adjusting the bite, most patients immediately see significant progress in the alignment of their teeth. With these options for adult braces, amazing results happen in a much shorter time.
