Whether that\u2019s because image is of increasing concern or because there are better options in orthodontics, we\u2019ll never know. It\u2019s probably a combination of both &#8212; because with solutions like Invisalign and Fastbraces, you don\u2019t have to deal with the stress or potential embarrassment of wearing metal brackets and wires any more! If you\u2019d like to benefit from subtle orthodontia, call off the search for a \u201cdentist near me\u201d and learn about your options at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whartondentists.com\/meet-dr-tripulas.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. David Tripulas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019 office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Adult Orthodontics<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crooked teeth are more than a cosmetic issue &#8212; they can throw off the whole function of your mouth. The benefits of seeking orthodontic treatment as an adult are many. Some of them include\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthier jaw movement with a properly-aligned bite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced risk of tooth decay and gum disease with straight teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased self confidence with a more beautiful smile<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A more attractive smile may equal greater success in the workplace<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fastbraces\u00ae Moves Teeth More Quickly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conventional orthodontic methods work by moving the crown of the tooth (or the portion you see) first, allowing the root to catch up after. It\u2019s a highly effective method that has been used for decades to realign the teeth, but the two-stage technology adds significant time to your orthodontic treatment. Fastbraces works with just one stage, moving the roots and the crowns of the teeth at the same time. Heat activated wires warm up with the temperature of the special wires, encouraging faster movement than is possible with traditional methods. This option is effective at straightening out crowded or gapped front teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because it\u2019s faster, though, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s more painful or uncomfortable than traditional braces. In fact, most people experience even less than the usual soreness with Fastbraces as compared to other methods. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign\u00ae for More Significant Issues<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your bite needs a more significant overhaul or if you are attracted by the appeal of removable aligners,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisalign.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Invisalign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be a better option for your orthodontic treatment. It works using a series of clear plastic trays that are molded to fit your teeth at progressive stages throughout the treatment. You will be advised to wear each aligner for two weeks before moving to the next in the series, gradually working your way to straighter, more beautiful teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign corrects the following issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crowded teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gapped teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overbite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underbite<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crossbite<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Invisalign, you can feel free to remove the trays before big meetings or presentations &#8212; so it\u2019s often the best option for busy adults. Removability also means you can continue to brush and floss your teeth without worrying about any tricky maneuvering around brackets and wires. And because you slip them out before meals and snacks, you won\u2019t have to change your diet to accommodate any special hardware, either. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request an Appointment Today! <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you interested in improving the alignment of your smile as an adult?
