Our smiles can affect our confidence at any age. Imagine being a teenager, excited for school picture day but feeling self-conscious about your crooked teeth. Fast forward to adulthood, where first impressions matter in your career and social life. You’re prepared for a job interview—your resume is polished, and your outfit is impeccable—but when you look in the mirror, your teeth distract you. Whether pursuing dental treatment in your formative years or seeking improvements later in life, Carolina Dental Arts has you covered. As a family dentist, we provide a range of orthodontic treatment options to address cosmetic concerns and align your teeth at any stage of life, ensuring a healthy and confident smile. Options like Invisalign for discreet alignment and traditional braces for comprehensive correction can give you a more attractive smile and improve your overall dental health.
Choosing the right orthodontic treatment can be overwhelming. You might be considering the duration of the treatment, the steps involved, and how it will fit into your budget. At Carolina Dental Arts, we’re here to help. We will guide you through each step of the process, helping you to find the right solution for your smile.
Can Orthodontic Treatment Help Me?
Orthodontic treatment is a trusted way to straighten teeth, but did you know it can also boost oral health?
One major benefit is addressing gaps between teeth. These spaces might seem like just a cosmetic concern, but they can trap food and lead to plaque buildup. By closing these gaps, orthodontic treatment gives you a more uniform smile and helps keep your teeth cleaner.
Crowded teeth present another challenge. When teeth overlap and twist due to limited space, brushing and flossing become difficult, increasing the risk of cavities and other dental issues. Orthodontic treatment creates the necessary room for your teeth to align properly, making them easier to maintain.
Misaligned bites can cause discomfort in daily activities like eating and speaking. Overbites, underbites, and crossbites put extra stress on your teeth and jaws, sometimes leading to pain. Correcting your bite with orthodontic treatment can make these activities more comfortable and prevent long-term damage.
Which Orthodontic Treatment Option Is Right For Me?
At Carolina Dental Arts, we understand that everyone is at a different stage in life and that no one should feel limited in their options for aligning their smile. That’s why we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to suit your needs.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a popular and reliable option for many people. We use metal brackets and wires to gradually adjust your teeth and fix alignment issues. Traditional braces are particularly effective for correcting complex dental issues, such as significant crowding, severe misalignment, and major bite problems. With regular adjustments, they provide precise results, giving you a beautifully aligned smile.
This tried-and-true method has been around for decades and is still a top choice for orthodontic treatment. Traditional braces’ durability and effectiveness make them perfect for large dental corrections. Their ability to handle even the most challenging cases has earned them a strong reputation among dental professionals.
Invisalign®
Carolina Dental Arts is a fantastic choice for Invisalign® treatment, thanks to Dr. Chris Powell. As a platinum Invisalign provider, Dr. Powell has extensive experience and training, which means you’re in good hands. His platinum status reflects the many successful smile transformations he has helped his patients achieve.
Invisalign straightens your teeth with custom-made, clear aligners that are nearly invisible. They provide a discreet way to achieve a perfect smile. These aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions, which maintains your normal daily routine. Invisalign is highly effective in fixing a variety of dental issues, such as overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and mild to moderate bite problems.
This treatment is particularly appealing if you prefer a less noticeable option compared to traditional braces. The aligners are comfortable and convenient, fitting effortlessly into your lifestyle. Invisalign gradually shifts your teeth into the desired position without the need for metal brackets or wires. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving to the next set, making the process smooth and manageable.
