How orthodontic treatment from your dentists in Danville, VA, can help you achieve a straight smile
Have you thought about straightening your smile? Modern orthodontic treatment has led to more people achieving a straight smile than ever before. It isn’t just teens that can benefit from braces; adults of all ages are choosing orthodontics too! Drs. Jessica Owens and Zachary Hairston at Art of Dentistry in Danville, VA, offer a full range of orthodontic solutions to give you a straight, spectacular smile!
People choose orthodontic treatment to correct problems like these:
- Underbite or overbite
- Crossbite or open bite
- Poor tooth alignment
- Crowding or tooth rotation
- Gaps between teeth
- Overlapping teeth
So, which type of braces is right for you? Your dentist can help you decide, and there are several choices. Consider:
- Conventional metal braces, which are the tried-and-true method to achieve a straight smile; today’s metal braces are smaller and much less visible than braces from years ago.
- Ceramic braces, which are more aesthetically appealing than metal; these braces are tooth-colored, so they blend in with your smile.
- Lingual braces, which are cemented on to tooth surfaces next to your tongue; these braces are virtually invisible to people around you.
At Art of Dentistry, you can also choose Invisalign, the revolutionary orthodontic system that doesn’t use braces at all. Invisalign uses a system of clear, smooth plastic trays, called aligners, which you wear for two weeks, and then progress to a new set of aligners. You change aligners every two weeks as your teeth gradually move into correct position. Invisalign offers these important advantages:
- Rapid results, because treatment is complete in 9 to 15 months
- Comfortable treatment, because the aligners are made of smooth plastic, with no sharp parts
- Discreet beauty, because the aligners are clear and virtually invisible to people around you
