Many adults with crooked or misplaced teeth never had the opportunity as a child to have braces. As an adult they are faced with 1 to 3 years of traditional braces to achieve the straight harmonious smile they always wanted. 

In many cases though, the teeth are still discolored or misshapen and require restorative dentistry (bonding or veneers) to gain the full effect of what they are after.

In a large number of these adult cases, restorative dentistry can achieve the desired result all at once.  We call this Instant Orthodontics because in as little as one to a few appointments. 

 

In 3 weeks this patient went from teeth that are crowded and discolored to a beautiful smile!

Why Instant Orthodontics?

Here are just a few reasons to consider instant orthodontics:

  • Convenience.  Many of the “instant” results are possible in one or two visits. This suits the schedule of most busy adults.

  • No retainers!  With conventional orthodontic treatment, retainers are often worn for years (or even for the remainder of the patient's life). Teeth have not been moved with instant orthodontics and therefore don’t need to be retained.

  • No relapse.  Another problem that occurs with traditional orthodontics is relapse, wherein teeth return to their original, crooked positioning. Veneers and crowns largely avoid this problem because they leave teeth in their long-established location. Also, even with the best of intentions, spaces left by missing teeth cannot be successfully closed by orthodontic treatment alone. Crowns, veneers, bridges, and implants are often more predictable solutions to the problem of missing teeth.
