Why choose Skyline Dental for clear aligners and orthodontics?
Dr. Valika is a skilled general dentist who does orthodontics for adults with crowded, overlapping, misaligned, or crooked teeth. It is never too late to correct your teeth and orthodontic treatment not only gives you a more beautiful smile, but can also improve your overall oral health. When you visit our office, we can discuss your options and come up with a plan to adjust your teeth and give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of.
You should consider orthodontic treatment if you have any questions or concerns about the alignment of your teeth. This can include crooked teeth, teeth that overlap, or teeth that are crowded together. If you have worn, chipped, or shortened teeth from grinding, you may need orthodontic treatment to create the space needed to lengthen your teeth with veneers or other cosmetic dentistry. In many cases, a combination of treatments including cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic care will be the best approach to improve your smile.
- Improved self-esteem and self-image
- An attractive smile that looks natural and not fake
- Improved personal and professional relationships
- Confidence to smile and laugh without hesitation or fear of judgment
- The ability to say “hello” with a radiant and healthy smile
Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options
Wire & Bracket Braces
Advantages:
- Overall treatment time is generally shorter depending on the tooth movements needed.
- New material allows for braces to be clear and wire to be white, making them discreet.
- You don’t have to think about removing anything to eat and drink beverages.
- Treatment success is less influenced by your compliance since they are not removable, so this is the best option if you are worried about compliance or losing clear aligners.
Clear Aligners
- Clear aligner trays are more discreet and are less visible.
- It is easier to clean your teeth since you can remove the aligners to brush and floss.
- Check-up appointments with the dentist are usually only every 2-3 months, as opposed to once a month with traditional braces.
Advantages:
Proudly Affiliated with Leading Dental Associations.
