Braces are usually associated with teenagers, but if you never got crooked teeth straightened when you were young, you may be wondering what your options are as an adult. Many adults want to correct the alignment of their teeth, but don’t necessarily want to deal with the embarrassment of highly visible metal braces.
Luckily, advances in dental technology mean that there are ways to straighten your teeth without needing metal braces in Las Vegas. Here at Nevada Dental Aesthetics, we offer a number of discreet and effective ways to correct your smile.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles work like braces, but take less time and are much less noticeable. They consist of clear brackets and tooth-colored wires that don’t stand out as much as metal braces, and treatment is complete in around 6 months (actual treatment time can vary between 4 to 9 months).
Metal braces take much longer, are less comfortable, and are immediately noticeable as soon as you open your mouth.
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect is an adult braces alternative popular with men and women who want to avoid braces altogether. ClearCorrect involves the use of a series of transparent aligner trays custom fitted to the patient’s mouth. These aligners are removable, making activities like eating, brushing, and flossing much easier. In addition, they are practically invisible while being worn.
Most people know the brand Invisalign better than ClearCorrect, but ClearCorrect is American-made and less expensive than Invisalign while being equally effective.
Porcelain Veneers or Dental Bonding
If you only have a few slightly crooked teeth that aren’t interfering with your bite or neighboring teeth, porcelain veneers or dental bonding may be an option. These options are purely cosmetic; they will not “fix” your teeth so much as disguise their crooked nature.
