When you think of methods for straightening your teeth, traditional wire braces probably come to mind, a process that can be uncomfortable, long, and for adults, not always attractive. Not everyone needs to wear wire braces for a perfectly aligned smile, however. Advances in cosmetic dentistry today have made it possible for dentists to offer faster, more comfortable solutions for attaining straighter teeth.
At Dawsonville Distinctive Dentistry, we offer three effective procedures that can bring you a straighter, healthier smile faster and more discreetly than with orthodontics braces. Come into our Dawsonville GA office for a consultation and find out if Essix Minor Tooth Movement®, veneers or cosmetic contouring could work for you.
Essix Minor Tooth Movement®
Essix Minor Tooth Movement® is one of the newest and most popular methods for achieving a straighter smile. Similar to Invisalign, this method uses clear, discreet aligners that are replaced every few weeks to gradually shift your teeth to their desired position. Essix trays are removable, making it easy to eat and brush as normal. Adults love Essix trays because no one can tell you are undergoing treatment, but your new smile will look straighter with each series of aligners that is completed. Essix treatment can usually be completed in just a year or less and generally works best for patients with minor teeth misalignment.
Veneers/Lumineers®
Looking for a fast way to make your teeth look straighter without actually straightening your teeth? Veneers can instantly mask dental imperfections, giving the illusion of a perfectly aligned smile. This procedure involves applying durable, porcelain shells to the front of teeth to cover orthodontic problems. The added bonus is that you can improve the coloring and shape of your teeth at the same time- the ultimate smile makeover. Lumineers® and our other thin-veneer products are very popular because they involve little to no adjusting or grinding of the teeth
Cosmetic Contouring
Cosmetic contouring, also known as dental reshaping, is performed to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or overlapping teeth in as little as one appointment. By making subtle changes to your teeth- just a few millimeters of reduction- your dentist can alter the length, shape or position of your teeth to create the perfect smile. This method is pain-free and is most commonly used on upper teeth.
Today, straightening your teeth without traditional orthodontic braces is possible. For severe malocclusion, EssixMinor Tooth Movement®, veneers and contouring may not be the best solutions and traditional braces may be recommended. Come into our Dawsonville GA office, and we can help you determine the best choice based on the degree of straightening needed. Rest assured that we can find the best treatment to help you achieve your best smile.
