| A beautiful
smile is available to young and old a like. We live in
the computer age, and orthodontics has kept up with high
technology to help our patients achieve that great look they want. |
| |
The Damon
braces system, sometimes referred to as "fast braces", is today’s
most advanced technique. Damon braces are esthetic and comfortable
because of the gentle yet efficient wires that move the
teeth with less force and with greater speed than the old steel
wires. |
| |
| The Damon
technique works especially well for both children and adults with
moderate to severely crowded teeth and in most instances, does
not require extraction of any teeth. The reason the teeth move so
quickly and with little discomfort is that the Damon brackets
slide on the soft, gentle wires with practically no friction and
the teeth align more quickly and comfortably. |

|
| With traditional
orthodontics, heavy friction is created because the brackets are
tightly secured to the wire by steel or elastic ligatures. This
creates more discomfort and slows down the movement of the teeth. |
| |
| With Damon, the
end result is a beautiful smile created 40 percent faster than with
traditional braces. Visit www.damonbraces.com

| Another popular
and technologically advanced way of straightening teeth is
Invisalign. This technique utilizes a series of clear retainer trays
that are worn continuously for two weeks. After that time, the old
tray is discarded and a new tray is worn for the next two weeks.
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
As many as
15 to 30 trays are made in advance by computer driven technology that
calculates step by step the exact tooth straightening process from start to
finish. Average time to straighten teeth is three months to over a year
depending on the extent of crowding. |
| |
|
| |
Invisalign is only indicated for mild to moderate crowding of the teeth. An
excellent indication for Invisalign is to retreat the crowding that has
occurred in patients who had previously worn braces. The advantages to
Invisalign are esthetics and comfort, and the trays can be removed to eat
and brush the teeth. Your smile can be created without anyone knowing it
since the trays are virtually undetectable. Find out more by visiting
