Did you have orthodontic treatment as a teen and forget to wear your retainer, and now your teeth have shifted? Or maybe you never had the chance to have braces during your adolescence. Whatever the case may be for you, it's never too late to straighten your teeth and harness the power of a beautiful smile!
At Glen Lake Dental, Dr. Leonardi offers two options for adult orthodontic treatment to straighten teeth, correct bites, and create beautiful smiles. Invisalign® uses clear aligners to move teeth into alignment and correct bites, while PowerProx Six Month Braces® uses tooth-colored ceramic braces to move only the teeth in your sight line in six months or less time.
Let's take a look at which option might be right for you.
Understanding Invisalign in Goffstown, NH
The trusted Invisalign system uses clear, BPA-free plastic aligners to gently move teeth into proper alignment. You'll wear your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, with the ability to remove them for flossing, brushing, and meals. You'll wear each custom set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Most patients complete their orthodontic treatment with Invisalign in about 10 to 18 months. Invisalign is ideal for patients needing to correct tooth and bite alignment who prefer discretion and ease.
How Do PowerProx Six-Month Braces in Manchester, NH, Work?
PowerProx Braces take a different approach to orthodontics, focusing on the teeth you see when you smile. Dr. Leonardi places clear, ceramic braces and tooth-colored wires on your front six to eight teeth and moves them into alignment. Because we're only moving a few teeth without bite correction, most patients achieve their desired smile results in six months or less.
