Clear Braces
New York and New Jersey

New York is the capital of adult orthodontics. There are many dentists practicing orthodontics, and the choices of braces are many.

Braces have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. More and more adults are getting braces because of the invisibility, quick treatment time and increased comfort.

In the past, braces were metal, bulky, sharp and uncomfortable. Braces have come a long way since those days!

Clear braces are a preferred choice for adults. These are tooth colored, small, and rounded so that they are comfortable and hardly visible from a social distance. They are made of porcelain or plastic and are extremely cosmetic.

The technology of the newer clear braces requires far less adjustments than the older braces. It used to be that you had to come in every 2-4 weeks for an adjustment. With the clear braces the adjustments are every 6, 8 or 12 weeks apart.

Even more high tech are the behind the teeth or lingual braces where no one ever knows you are wearing braces. These are totally invisible and really cutting edge. There aren’t too many dentists trained in this technology, since it takes lots of experience to get a good result using these braces, unlike clear braces.

If you want clear braces, there is Invisalign. This is a series of removable aligners which slowly move your teeth. They go slower than braces, but you can take them out for eating and special occasions.

The newest innovation is “High Speed Braces” where adults can have the smile of their dreams with braces in a very short time. In our office, we call it “Straight Teeth in 6 Months”.

There has been a large increase in the number of adults seeking braces. Because of the improvement in comfort and visibility, adult braces is very common. Adults used to be embarrassed by the thought of braces, but now that there are so many adults getting braces, it has renewed social acceptance.

The most exciting thing about braces is what a great smile does for the self esteem. Adults particularly say time and time again, that they are so happy they went through the braces process. It changed their lives in ways they never could anticipate. Here is the magic formula:
 
Bad Smile + Braces=Great Smile= Elevated Self Esteem=Fresh Outlook On Life!
