Braces arent just childs play!

Growing up, I can remember most of my friends at one point or another getting braces. It seemed to be a right of passage. But I cannot remember seeing adults walking around with metal gleaming from their teeth like we kids. Today, that is not the case. There are plenty of adults that had orthodontics as a child and let their teeth relapse into the old position, or those that never did have the treatment and are interested today. Depending on the goals of the patient, at Wayland Dental we can satisfy a patient’s needs for straighter front teeth in about 6 months. The system we use is called Six Month Smiles and it works in the same way as traditional braces at the orthodontist, but because we are only concerned with the cosmetic corrections of the front teeth and not the lengthy process of changing the bite in the back, most cases finish in 5-6 months. We are also a provider of Invisalign to straighten the teeth and this is a good option for those who are resistant to having any braces on their teeth or like the freedom to remove the aligners at times. In general, the use of Six Month Smiles is cheaper, faster, and more predictable though. So if you look in the mirror and feel that you would like to have cosmetic correction of your crowded, crooked, or spaced teeth, but felt that braces are just for kids; ask us all about Six Month Smiles and how it can give you that dazzling smile you have always wanted.
