Today many adults are wearing braces. Orthodontic treatment can improve not only one's smile, but also may help problems such as periodontitis (gum disease), TMJ and malocclusion (bad bite). Self esteem usually increases dramatically when someone goes from crooked teeth to a nice, pleasing smile. Clear (ceramic) braces are available at an additional charge for patients worried about showing too much metal when they smile. Dr. Slutsky has treated many adults over the years and the results are definitely something to smile about. There is no charge for an initial consultation.
For certain adult and adolescent cases, there is advanced technology called INVISALIGN in which a series of clear, plastic retainers are worn to straighten the teeth instead of wearing braces. Each retainer gradually moves the teeth to a new position until the teeth are straight. Dr. Slutsky is certified by Invisalign to treat these cases, and can discuss with you whether your teeth may be corrected by this technique.
