Two Proven Methods for a Straighter, Healthier Smile
Improving your aesthetics is not the only reason to pursue orthodontic treatment; in fact, it’s likely to be secondary if your oral health is at risk. At My Riverdale Dentist, we know some patients may be reluctant to wear braces; however, if it means lowering the risk of gum disease and tooth decay as well as improving one’s bite, these appliances can be worth the time and effort. Contact our office if you would like to learn more about our available options and which one will help you achieve a straighter, healthier, and more beautiful smile.

Invisalign
Clear, discreet, and removable are just a few of the characteristics associated with Invisalign. Using customized, transparent aligners that shift teeth into their proper place, they allow self-conscious adults and teens to work toward a straighter smile without enduring treatment that is visibly noticeable to others. These trays require 20-22 hours of wear time and must be switched out every few weeks to ensure everything moves forward correctly. By following the guidelines for treatment, you may see results in as little as 12-18 months.
Fastbraces
When the desire for a straighter smile cannot wait, an alternative solution may be available – Fastbraces. Similar to traditional metal brackets and wires, these appliances produce faster results by moving the roots of teeth and their crowns at the same time. This is vastly different than traditional braces, which move these components separately. In the end, your treatment time will be significantly reduced, allowing you to start enjoying the benefits of a straighter smile much sooner.
