Adult Orthodontics
Straighten Your Smile at Any Age in Our Bay Shore, NY Office
Your teeth continue to move and shift throughout your life, so even if you didn’t need braces as a child, you may now find yourself wishing that your smile was a little straighter. Are you tired of hiding a smile you don’t love? At Ocean Blue Orthodontics, we are happy to be able to offer discreet adult orthodontic treatment in our Bay Shore, New York office. We utilize the latest orthodontics, including clear braces or clear, removable Invisalign® aligners, to ensure our adult patients can work on their smiles without drawing unwanted attention to their treatment in progress.
Enjoy Discreet Treatment With Invisalign or Clear Braces
If the idea of wearing metal braces is keeping you from a beautiful set of teeth, then you’ll be glad to know that advancements in modern orthodontics mean you now have multiple options. In addition to traditional metal braces, Ocean Blue Orthodontics offers a pair of effective options for adults who prefer a more discreet treatment method.
- Invisalign – Using a series of virtually invisible clear aligner trays to move your teeth into their optimal position, Invisalign treatment results are similar to traditional braces and typically achieved in less time.
- Clear braces – These are designed to work just like traditional metal braces, but they are made with clear or tooth-colored pieces that fit on your teeth in a way that will make the braces nearly undetectable.
Of course, not all adults mind wearing more obvious orthodontics. If discretion isn’t a concern, we offer self-ligating metal braces that are far different from those you may remember from your childhood.
Improve Your Health With Adult Orthodontic Treatment
Adult braces or Invisalign are obviously known for creating straighter, more appealing smiles. However, adult orthodontics can do more than give you a spectacular-looking smile! You’ll even find daily brushing and flossing to be more effective after treatment, since the narrow spaces between overly crowded teeth can trap food more easily and make it more difficult to clean properly. Straightening your teeth can make it easier for your toothbrush and floss to enter those spaces and clean a larger area of your teeth, not only reducing plaque buildup but also the possibility of your gums bleeding while flossing.
