Crooked teeth can present both a cosmetic issue and a dental health concern for patients of all ages. Teeth that are misaligned can cause a variety of problems, from bite disorders to an increased incidence of decay and tooth cavities.
But for most adult patients, the hassle of traditional metal braces often makes orthodontic treatment an undesirable option.
Northborough dentist Dr. Gauthier offers invisible braces for mild to moderate orthodontic treatment. Clear, removable aligners are custom-made to treat a variety of dental problems as well as cosmetic concerns:
- crooked teeth
- crossbite
- overbite
- underbite
Dr. Gauthier will design a personalized treatment plan for patients, which generally lasts about a year.
During treatment, the teeth will be gently repositioned using a series of aligners that can be removed for regular brushing and oral hygiene.
The aligners are “invisible”, allowing patients to undergo orthodontic treatment without everyone knowing!
Invisible braces have revolutionized orthodontic treatment, making it more appealing to patients of all ages, providing an effective option for treating dental problems in a shorter time period and enabling patients to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
