Need Straight Teeth Fast?
There are all sorts of choices to improve your smile, we’ll give you a little overview and let you decide what you prefer. One of the best books on the subject for patients that promises and bag full of money saving tips is Confessions of a Former Cosmetic Dentist (click for more information).
1) The Porcelain Veneer Makeover
This option is great if your front teeth are almost all filling
already. If they are basically healthy then move on to the other choices!
2) Traditional Orthodontics
Well, this tends to be for perfectionists who have more time...but
it’s still the most common choice.
3) Invisible Aligners
These clear plastic appliances can seem to take almost forever to
give you results, but they are almost invisible which is neat.
4) Accelerated Orthodontics
There are a number of systems that help to speed up orthodontic care. Some of them include faster types of brackets (dentists call them "self-ligating" but what the heck that means we don’t know), super-elastic wires, ways to reduce tooth size so they have more room, and other techniques that you’d need to be a dentist or orthodontist to understand.
One of the BEST videos on the subject can be found with this YOUTUBE link.
NEWSFLASH:
A new report just released information that the longer a patient
is left in braces, the greater the risk of damage to their teeth. This refutes
old ideas which believed faster orthodontic treatment was harmful. Stay tuned
