Treatment Options
If you are looking to straighten your smile but want to avoid traditional orthodontics, then Invisalign might be the option for you. Alternatively, if there is only a small area of teeth that are crooked porcelain veneers can be used to mask the teeth.
Invisalign
The Invisalign process involves a series of clear (almost invisible) aligners which are entirely removable and have a similar completion time to traditional fixed braces. Invisalign uses computer technology to create your custom made aligners, each with a minor adjustment to the last. By wearing the aligner trays, your teeth are exposed to a gradual force which moves them into the ideal position. Please note: Advanced Dental Artistry does not provide this service, but can refer you to a trusted provider if you want this treatment in combination with treatment completed at our clinic.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made porcelain laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. Veneers will allow us to close spaces, transform the size, shape, position colour and position of your teeth. We love getting as much input as possible from our clients when designing their perfect smile
