Orthodontics
When we think about orthodontics, unsightly metal braces are the first thing to come to mind. However, orthodontics is more than just braces. Orthodontists are concerned with the position of the teeth, what has caused them to arrive at their current position, and what future movement may be needed so that your bite is fully functional.
We may have some orthodontic options available to straighten your teeth, ranging from conventional braces (with wires and brackets) to invisible braces (clear orthodontic buy adderall legit aligners). Each method ranges in price and treatment length and will vary by patient. Ask your cosmetic dentist about which treatment is right for you.

With the new smart track, each tray must be worn for a specified amount of time – usually, around 20 hours a day – and now will smart track material for one week before you can progress to the next tray. In most situations, the aligners can straighten teeth in anywhere from 3 to 12 months.

While the aligners can correct a mild malocclusion, patients with severe underbites, overbites or crossbites may require more advanced orthodontic with the specialist orthodontist.
Unlike traditional braces, the trays can be removed for brushing, flossing, and eating. Because the trays are clear, you can undergo this type of orthodontic treatment without the usual discomfort associated with regular braces.
