Many of our patients want straighter teeth but don’t want to suffer through months of braces. Luckily, new orthodontic treatments make it easier than ever to get that perfect smile you’ve always wanted. Gone are the days of “metal mouth”: there are new options for straightening teeth that are not only faster, but also nearly invisible!

Middletown Commons Family Dental offers two great solutions to straighten your teeth in less time with less discomfort: Invisalign® and Six Month Smiles®. If you’ve been considering orthodontics for a while but keep putting it off because you don’t want to deal with conventional braces, schedule a consultation with Dr. Ward today to learn about these great options!

Invisalign®

It’s no wonder that Invisalign is now one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth. The designers of Invisalign clearly listened to all the complaints about traditional metal braces when they came up with their system of clear, removable aligners. Worn daily except while eat, Invisalign retainers gently adjust and correct the positioning of your teeth without using any bulky brackets or uncomfortable wires. Invisalign is virtually unnoticeable when worn, and usually takes anywhere from 9 to 24 months to achieve your desired results. Invisalign retainers are convenient too – you simply remove them when you eat, so there are no annoying food restrictions.

Six Month Smiles®

Not only are traditional metal braces painful and clunky, they also involve straightening all of your teeth – even those back teeth that are never visible! Six Month Smiles revolutionized orthodontic treatment by using nickel-titanium wire to straighten only the front teeth. Now, you don’t need to spend time on those back teeth that never see the light of day. Just like Invisalign and traditional braces, Six Month Smiles can fix crowding, crookedness, spacing issues, and variety of other issues. Their clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are nearly invisible to the casual observer, and best of all, the average treatment time is only six months.

With today’s advances in orthodontic treatments, it has never been easier to get that beautiful, straight smile you’ve always dreamed about. Six months from now, why regret that you didn’t get started on a straighter smile today? Call us at (502) 631-9627 to set up a consultation.
