With the appearance of Invisalign and braces for adults on
the scene in West Haven and Milford CT, patients are recognizing the impact
adult braces could have on their own lives. If you find yourself holding your
hand in front of your mouth when you laugh, cringing at photographs of your own
happy face, or wishing the reflection in your mirror had a more attractive
smile, ask your cosmetic dentist about adult braces.
Inconspicuous
orthodontics
If visions of metal brackets and wires strung across your
teeth come to mind when you think of braces, take another look. Adult braces
can be virtually invisible, allowing you to maintain your well-deserved
grown-up appearance and demeanor. With inconspicuous orthodontics like
Invisalign, your braces are actually clear aligners that you wear over your
teeth. You take the plastic aligners out for eating, brushing and flossing, and
you might even choose to remove them altogether for a special occasion now and
then.
Orthodontics and your
cosmetic dentist
Cosmetic dentists like Dr. Joseph Tartagni at Shoreline
Dental Care in West Haven and Milford CT want to provide their patients with
the most comprehensive care the latest and best technology can offer. To keep
up with the newest techniques and cutting edge procedures, Dr. Tartagni
regularly undergoes advanced study in continuing dental education. While Dr.
Tartagni is not an orthodontist, he is a trained cosmetic dentist who uses
orthodontics such as the Invisalign adult braces system to straighten only
those teeth that show when you smile. If a severely misaligned jaw or other
structural deficiency is the cause of your crooked teeth, an orthodontist may
be more appropriate for your orthodontics.
Invisalign and braces
for adults
With Invisalign, a series of custom-molded transparent
and removable plastic aligners reposition your teeth to a more attractive
position. This gradual process is more comfortable and convenient than
traditional braces, without the mouth abrasions sometimes associated with
metal and wires, and without the necessity of adjustment appointments. With the
help of 3-D computer imaging, a comprehensive treatment plan to straighten your
teeth is designed, and a progressive series of clear aligners are created to gradually
reposition your teeth. Over the year or so you will wear the clear aligners;
you will advance to the next aligner in the series about every two weeks,
stopping in for progress reports at the dentist every six weeks to be sure your
smile correction is on track.
If you have your mind set on a more traditional adult braces
system without having to go to an orthodontist, Dr. Tartagni also offers Six
Month Smiles, an invisible braces system which utilizes clear brackets and
tooth-colored wires to straighten crooked teeth in just half a year.
