Orthodontics For Adults
Many adults with crooked teeth or misaligned jaws feel embarrassed by the idea of traditional metal braces. In these cases, dentist Dr. Hwang may suggest clear braces, like Invisalign, to his Sylvania and Swanton patients. However, if an adult’s orthodontic issues are more severe, he might recommend limited orthodontic treatment to address the main concerns of the patient or orthognathic surgery to address the misaligned bones that is the underlying cause of an improper bite.
Types of Braces
Dr. Hwang offers several types of braces in Sylvania & Swanton, including traditional metal brackets and wires that have been used for many years with predictable and consistent results. In addition to traditional braces, the doctor offers more modern options that are clear and more comfortable to wear. These options include ceramic braces and Invisalign. Some orthodontic options with AcceleDent will move teeth into the desired position and alignment 30-40 percent quicker without AcceleDent (note that these may not be appropriate for every case).
Invisalign
Invisalign is a set of clear invisible aligners designed to gradually shift teeth into the proper position. The aligners should be worn in a specific sequence based on the patient’s prescription. They are comfortable, light and can be easily removed while the patient is eating and cleaning their teeth. Total treatment time with Invisalign ranges from 6 months or more, depending on the patient.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is similar to traditional Invisalign treatment, with a few critical differences. Invisalign Teen comes with six replacement aligners at no extra charge, in case a few go missing during treatment. Also, Invisalign Teen has a special feature that guides erupting second molars into position without throwing off the alignment of the other teeth.
