Six Month Smiles®
Crooked, crowded, or oddly placed teeth can be a detriment to your sophisticated image, but what adult wants to wear braces for two years? With the Six Month Smiles® technique, we can correct problems, straighten your front teeth, and give you a great smile in just months. Like the name states, most patients complete treatment in six months, some require even less time.
You may still hesitate to wear braces, even if only for six months. Image-conscious teens and adults can opt for near-invisible clear brackets and thin wires, or lingual braces, worn behind your teeth so no one knows you are undergoing treatment.
Six Months Smiles® offer convenience, especially if you're preparing for a big event when image will be important, like a wedding, family reunion, or job search. You might think it takes great force to move teeth quickly but, actually, it is just the opposite. This proven method involves continuous low force along a specially designed arch wire to comfortably produce results in the teeth that show when you smile. In addition, Six Month Smiles ® require fewer office visits, about one every 30 days, so you save time and money. Of course, we can work with your insurance company or establish a payment plan that will fit your budget without impeding on your lifestyle.
Six months from now, you can have the picture-perfect smile you’ve always wanted! Contact our office to find out if you are a good candidate.
Invisalign®
Orthodontia That Will Keep You Smiling! 
Do you dream about having a smile full of sparkling, straight teeth, but you just can’t imagine yourself wearing traditional metal braces? You’ve probably invested in a professional, mature image, and you shouldn’t have to look like a teenager to straighten your teeth. We agree. Now the Alafaya Center for Cosmetic & Family Dentistry can make your dreams come true.
Invisalign®, an orthodontic treatment approved by the FDA, is the virtually invisible method to straighten your teeth without conventional metal braces. With Invisalign®, a custom-molded set of transparent, removable aligners will progressively reposition your teeth. You can simply remove the aligners before eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions. This technology is more comfortable and convenient that traditional braces. Patients do not experience the mouth abrasions caused by metal and wires, and Invisalign® aligners are easy to clean. Adjustment appointments aren’t necessary, either.
How does Invisalign® work? First, we use 3-D computer imaging to design a comprehensive treatment plan. This allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before you start treatment. Yes, you will see your future smile before treatment begins.
Then a lab will create a series of aligners to reposition your teeth over one to two years. You’ll change aligners every two weeks until your smile is straight and beautiful. Typically, you will visit us every six weeks for progress reports.
Transparent, removable, no-hassle orthodontia – now that should put a smile on your face!
