Worried about how orthodontics will look? Invisalign may be an option for you. Utilizing removable clear aligners, your teeth may be straightened in less than a year. VivaSmiles is proud to be one of the few Preferred Invisalign Providers in 2010 due to its exceptional level of experience. Your condition may require that you wear braces, but don't worry! VivaSmiles utilizes clear brackets with clear wires for near invisible treatment.
Orthodontics not only corrects crooked teeth, but can correct facial disharmony if caught early enough. That is why the American Association of Orthodontists suggests children should receive an orthodontic evaluation no later than 7 years of age. This allows us to determine if the face is following a favorable growth pattern before it's too late. There is no need for all of the permanent teeth to be in. In some cases, early (referred to as Phase I) correction can avoid treatment problems further down the road, and in many cases, even eliminate the need for full orthodontic treatment later on. As patients ourselves, we know that you will be putting a great deal of trust in our hands, which is why we never mind answering any questions you have about treatment, either before or after you have begun. |
