Orthodontics
At Total Dental Care of Staten Island, we understand the desire for a straighter smile without sacrificing aesthetics or comfort. Our practice offers innovative solutions through clear aligners and retainers, providing a discreet and comfortable approach to orthodontic treatment.
Clear Aligners: A Modern Approach to Orthodontics
Clear aligners, such as the Invisalign® system, utilize a series of custom-fabricated, virtually invisible trays. These trays work incrementally to gently shift teeth into their desired positions, achieving a beautiful and confident smile. Clear aligners offer a multitude of benefits compared to traditional braces:
Enhanced Aesthetics: The clear material makes them nearly undetectable, allowing patients to maintain a natural appearance throughout treatment.
Improved Patient Comfort: Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, minimizing irritation and discomfort.
Removable for Optimal Hygiene: The ability to remove aligners for brushing and flossing promotes excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Dietary Freedom: Patients with clear aligners enjoy unrestricted dietary choices, as the trays are removed for eating and drinking.
Retainers: Maintaining Your Smile for Life
Once your desired tooth alignment is achieved with clear aligners, custom-made retainers become essential. These retainers gently hold teeth in their new positions, ensuring a lasting and beautiful smile.
Benefits of Clear Aligners & Retainers:
Achieve a Straighter Smile: Clear aligners and retainers offer a predictable and effective path to achieving a straighter smile.
Improved Oral Health: Proper tooth alignment can contribute to overall oral health and reduce the risk of future dental issues.
