Teeth Straightening Options with Dr. Simmons
Alternatives to traditional braces are one of the most sought after cosmetic treatments among adult patients. Misaligned and unevenly spaced 
teeth can put a damper on your smile. You may even attempt to hide your smile so no one sees it in pictures or when you laugh. What a shame! Your smile is meant to be shared, and you deserve the confidence to do just that. At Dr. Simmons’ general and cosmetic dentistry practice, we offer the convenience, aesthetics, and comfort of Invisalign clear braces as well as several other cosmetic options.
Many people have had braces in the past, but have since seen those teeth shift out of place again. When you find yourself in need of corrective treatment as an adult, though, there are more factors to consider than just the effectiveness of a procedure. Metal braces certainly deliver results, but they’re also an unsightly reminder for you and everyone you encounter that you’re undergoing treatment. Perhaps you don’t even mind the day to day inconvenience, but you have an important event coming up, a wedding or a class reunion, at which you absolutely don’t want to sport braces. We can help!
Our alternatives to metal braces include:
- Invisalign Clear Braces
A far cry from traditional treatment, Invisalign clear braces are definitely not the braces you remember from childhood. These clear, removable aligners are unobtrusive and comfortable. Clear, removable aligners from Invisalign are discreet and comfortable. You can keep straightening your teeth a secret between you and Dr. Simmons, because it’s likely no one will notice you’re wearing aligners if you don’t tell them! Invisalign is also known for its swift results—patients often complete their course of treatment within a year.
- Bonding
With cosmetic bonding, Dr. Simmons can artfully and effectively correct imperfections like chipped or unevenly spaced teeth. While not a permanent solution, bonding is a cost-conscious way to see enjoy beautiful results for about 5-7 years. Dr. Simmons tints the composite resin to perfectly match your existing tooth structure. Want whiter teeth first? Choose one of our teeth whitening options, and your bonding procedure can complement a beautifully bright smile.
- Porcelain Veneers
Besides orthodontic treatment, these thin shells of porcelain provide the longest-lasting results. Porcelain veneers can address stubborn discolorations, and well as misshapen or misaligned teeth. Your dentist can permanently apply a few or more custom porcelain veneers to your front teeth to create your ideal smile. This cosmetic treatment is extremely secure and durable, and veneers can last for many years with the same proper care. In just two visits, you could see a new you when you look in the mirror!
