Instant Orthodontics

Traditional braces are an unappealing option for many adults who have crooked teeth. Not only are they an eyesore, uncomfortable, and awkward, they are also very inconvenient. Braces take years to straighten teeth and require several dental visits for maintenance and tightening. Most adults do not have this extra time.

 

If you have slightly crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth and do not want to bother with traditional braces, then instant orthodontics may be the perfect option for you. We can give you a perfect smile in only a few dental visits. Many instant orthodontics procedures can be completed in under a month. Not only are instant orthodontics a time-saver, but they actually brighten your smile. In addition, porcelain is highly resistant to staining and is entirely resistant to decay.

 

The Procedure

 

Your procedure will begin with your initial consultation. Dr. Firouzi will examine your teeth to determine if you are a good candidate for instant orthodontics. You will discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations during this visit, and with this information, Dr. Firouzi will be able to put together an individualized treatment plan that is right for you.

 

During your second visit, Dr. Firouzi will prepare your teeth by removing a very small amount of tooth enamel from them. This allows for the porcelain veneers to be affixed to your teeth without adding to their size. Once your teeth are prepared, Dr. Firouzi will make a mold of your teeth that he will send to the laboratory that will sculpt your porcelain veneers. Temporary veneers will be placed on your teeth until your permanent veneers are ready. These usually take about two weeks to manufacture.

 

Dr. Firouzi will remove your temporaries and place your permanent veneers during your third visit. Once they are bonded to your teeth, Dr. Firouzi will make any final adjustments that might be necessary to ensure that you are happy with the results.
