More and more grown-ups are getting braces to improve their smiles. Adults tend to follow their orthodontic treatment plans better than kids and teens, so they often get really good results. Braces don't just make your smile look better – they also help keep your teeth and gums healthy. If your teeth are crowded or overlap, it can be hard to clean them properly, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other problems. Braces have gotten better in recent years – they're smaller, stronger, work faster, and are less noticeable. You can still get the traditional metal braces, but now there are also clear and tooth-colored options available.

Are you unhappy with your smile? Many adults feel self-conscious about their teeth and try to hide their smiles. They might not want to wear metal braces for a long time or undergo expensive and invasive procedures. But now, there's a new option that's effective, safe, and affordable. It uses clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth, so you can feel more confident about your smile.

Translucent "clear" braces and tooth-colored ceramic brackets provide a very aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces.

Today's clear braces provide the same quality of treatment as metal braces but are simply less noticeable.

Braces are a common way to straighten teeth for a better smile and improved function. They use gentle pressure to move crowded or spaced teeth into the right position. Brackets are attached to the front of each tooth and connected with wires and elastic bands. This helps to gradually shift the teeth over time. Nowadays, orthodontic treatment is faster, more comfortable, and comes in various styles for kids, teenagers, and adults.

Are you one of the many adults who feel self-conscious about their smile? Do you find yourself covering your mouth when you laugh or talk? If you're hesitant about wearing traditional metal braces for a long time or worried about the cost and invasiveness of other treatments, there's good news. There's now a cosmetic solution that's effective, safe, and affordable, and it won't disrupt your lifestyle.

A new approach called Six Month Smiles® combines proven orthodontic techniques with modern materials and clear braces to gently straighten and align your teeth in an average time of just six months.

When dentists need to close a gap between teeth, they sometimes need to move each tooth by different amounts. To do this, they use coil springs placed next to the teeth, and an arch wire to guide the movement and keep the teeth from tilting as the gap is closed.
