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.

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!

Isn’t there a more comfortable, less obtrusive way to treat this condition? Yes, there is!

examinations and diagnoses. Today we’ll take a look at the process that occurs after Dr. Simmons has assessed your mouth and talked with you about the condition of your teeth and gums.
