1. What Are My Options For A Better Smile?
People who want a better smile have many options. However, the only permanent option
often involves dental braces.
Dental braces help correct crowded teeth, misaligned teeth and/or jaws. These typically wire-
based dental appliances are installed onto the teeth and adjusted over time to help correct the
alignment of the teeth during that time period.
Invisible braces also help correct teeth alignment in a way that helps preserve a person's
smile.
'Invisible braces'
Invisible braces are a type of clear, custom dental aligner that fits tightly over the teeth. A
Venice Orthodontist typically constructs a plan for correcting a patient's teeth, if they decide
that the patient will benefit from using invisible braces or aligners. Some patients who have
moderate to severe teeth or jaw alignment issues need traditional dental appliances.
Orthodontists and dentists now use computer technology to project potential teeth positions
for people with misaligned teeth. This technology helps a Venice Orthodontist plan and
design clear aligners that will result in that ideal teeth positioning when worn.
Treatment with clear aligners generally lasts as long as 10 to 24 months, however some
patients may need clear aligners for as little as 10 weeks if they need readjustments from
wearing braces in the past. Clear aligners are often changed every two to three weeks (or as
permitted by an orthodontist or dentist) to facilitate the realignment of teeth into their correct,
projected position.
