You may not have control over what happens during the course of a day, but you do have control over how you face each one. Some days smile at you by providing you with bright sunshine, friendly faces and happenings that seems to go with your overall desires. Other days seem to constantly thwart your desires. You can learn to take either day with the same joyful attitude. Learning to smile at all times is the first step in accomplishing that. The orthodontist can help develop an enhanced smile if you suffer with malocclusion or poor teeth alignment.

The Latest Technology

Your local orthodontist can examine your teeth by using X-ray technology, a physical examination and having you complete a questionnaire. He will use the information to suggest a course of treatment that will optimize the beautiful smile that you already have. The suggestion for treatment may include braces or Invisalign. The option for braces may include options such as traditional metal brackets, ceramic devices, lingual brackets and the like. Invisalign is a plastic aligner system that can do wonders for your teeth in a short amount of time. Some people complete their treatment in less than one year with Invisalign.

smile

The world usually puts out what people put into it. Wearing a sour face or a frown in public will cause other people to frown back. Smiling around town will incite other people to smile around town. Both expressions are contagious, but the latter is also healthy. Smiling is good for everyone involved because it creates a joyful atmosphere and fills the heart with glee. You should continue to do what you love if you are a person who likes to smile. You may want to visit an orthodontist if you are someone who does not like to smile. Many people who shy away from smiling do so because they dislike something about their smiles. An experienced orthodontist can address most of those issues. Such a specialist can provide services such as:

Putting Braces on the Teeth

Braces are one of the most popular options for solving alignment problems. As a patient, you have a wide assortment of options from which you can choose. You can select standard or traditional devices, lingual brackets, Damon braces, teeth-colored brackets and more.

Creating an Invisalign System

Invisalign is an option for people who do not appreciate the “metal mouth” concept. Invisalign is a system that uses clear plastic aligners that the patient can remove at any time. The treatment time is significantly shorter with this system than it is for some other options.

Providing Tips for Stonger, Healthier Teeth

A specialist can provide a patient with a number of wise tips to keep his or her teeth whiter in the end. The specialist can act as an advisor or a counselor to a patient.

Great smiles can make your whole face happy. For some people, though, a smile doesn’t start out perfectly. Misaligned teeth, overbites, gaps and more can make people feel self-conscious about smiling. No one should go through life worried about smiling. A great orthodontist can help people have their best smile possible.

For children, braces can straighten and align those young teeth. Metal wires are held in place by brackets placed on the teeth. About every six weeks an orthodontist will adjust the braces, allowing the teeth to shift into the perfect position. For most teenagers, braces are a fact of life. School pictures will show a mouthful of metal. This is okay, even expected.

Adults may want to be a bit more discreet. They may want to hide the fact that they are having their teeth straightened. New dating relationships, a job position and other factors could play into the desire to be discreet. Orthodontists can help with invisalign aligners. Clear, removable aligners are worn to straighten the teeth. Nobody will notice them while someone is wearing them. However, they will notice a straighter, more ready smile. Being removable makes it very easy for a person to continue brushing and flossing, even eating their favorite foods. Every two weeks the aligner will be removed, replaced with the next one in the series. In under two years a great new smile will emerge, ready to dazzle the world.

There’s nothing like a beautiful smile to let the people around you know that you care. Sadly, however, many people are born with teeth that aren’t straight. As a result, these people cover up their smile as much as possible.

The good news is that an orthodontist can give you the beautiful smile of your dreams. In fact, today’s orthodontists offer a variety of straightening methods, allowing you to achieve the results that you desire in a quicker, more comfortable and more discreet way.

By straightening your teeth, you’re improving your appearance as well as your oral health. When teeth are straight, it’s easier to brush and floss, preventing gum disease and cavities. Plus, having straight teeth can dramatically improve confidence levels.

Damon Braces

Damon braces are renowned for using advanced orthodontic technology in order to straighten teeth quickly and effectively. Using brackets and wires, this straightening method can bring even the most crooked, uneven or crowded teeth into perfect alignment, giving you a beautiful smile at last.

Because these braces are self-litigating, they don’t require any elastics. The wires adjust along with the teeth, eliminating the need for frequent visits to the orthodontist to have the wires tightened. Plus, these braces work much more quickly than traditional metal braces.

Damon braces are less obvious in appearance as well. The wires are thin and the brackets are small. Plus, patients can choose clear brackets.

Invisalign

Invisalign treatment is radically different from braces. Instead of relying on brackets and wires, Invisalign relies on clear aligner trays that are made of a thin and comfortable plastic material. These aligner trays subtly move teeth into a straightened position. Each pair of trays is worn for two weeks before being switched out for the next pair in the series.

What patients love best about Invisalign is that these clear aligner trays are invisible. Plus, they can be easily and painlessly removed in order to eat and practice dental hygiene habits like flossing and brushing.

You Can Live More By Loving More With a Beautiful New Smile

Dr. Debasish Mridha is an author and physician who believes that smiling helps you to love and trust more. The best way to have a gorgeous smile is by visiting an orthodontist at an early age to have an examination. If you have misaligned teeth, then it feels awkward to smile at anyone. Fortunately, there are fast ways to fix your teeth with modern braces or Invisalign aligners. When you visit an orthodontic facility, you can undergo an evaluation that includes medical images so that you can see how your teeth will look after treatment.

Modern Orthodontic Treatment Is Fast and Easy

You will love wearing clear aligners that are made of durable molded plastic that will shift your teeth slowly into the best positions. Every two weeks, you must change to a different set of aligners to repair your smile in six months to one year. However, if you have serious malocclusions of your teeth, then an orthodontist will recommend braces that are worn for two to four years. It is possible to choose brackets and wires that are bright colors, or you might prefer clear brackets and invisible wires instead.

A warm smile is the universal language of kindness

smileA warm smile is the universal language of kindness

No matter where you go in the world, a kind and open smile paves the way for making new friends and brightening everyone’s day. Even when language barriers stop clear communication, a smile shows you mean no harm and want to get along with everyone nearby.

Do Not Hide Your Smile Away

First impressions are so important in this world. When you first meet a new person or walk into a new place, you want everyone to like you and for no problems to arise. A smile is one way this goal gets accomplished, and if you feel shy or self-conscious about sharing your smile, it can cause people to think negatively about you.

Misaligned or unattractive teeth are some of the top reasons why people keep their lips tight shut and fail to share a warm, open smile with others. Gaps, crooked teeth, and missing teeth are looked down upon in this modern world where every celebrity and magazine model has the perfect, gleaming white grin. These problems can affect your social and professional lives.

What Can an Orthodontist Do to Help

A professional orthodontist can provide solutions for all of the above-mentioned problems and more. Even if you have no intention of becoming a toothpaste model, it is important to have a pleasant and attractive smile in this world. Not only will it help you convey friendliness and camaraderie to others you meet, it will also give you the self-confidence to walk into any room and instantly feel at home there. Better still, a bright and beautiful smile will help others feel the same way about you.

Learn How to Smile Again

If you have forgotten how to smile because you are embarrassed by your crooked teeth, then it is time to visit an orthodontist. It is easy to have a new smile by undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign. In six months to three years, you can have an attractive smile again. Clear aligners are suitable for you when you have mild malocclusions. Alternatively, if you have severely misaligned teeth or when you are a child, then you can wear braces instead. Today, you don’t have to wear traditional metal orthodontic devices because there are devices that have color-matching ceramic brackets.

Have an Orthodontic Examination

When you are wearing aligners on your teeth, the items are barely noticeable when you smile, and if you select color-matching brackets or lingual devices, then it is also difficult for someone to notice the items. You can continue to smile at everyone without feeling self-conscious. The only way to know what type of orthodontic treatment is best for your teeth is by having a thorough examination from an orthodontist. With modern medical images, it is possible to see how your teeth and smile will look after orthodontic treatment is completed.

smile quotesA Smile is an Inexpensive Way to Change Your Looks

When you see people with a beautiful smile, do you notice how straight their teeth are? Have you also thought how fortunate they were to have such naturally beautiful teeth and charming smiles? Well, it may surprise you to know that most of those lucky people were not born with straight teeth. In fact, a lot of people have had problems with their teeth being too close together, misaligned, or they had gaps between their teeth that were corrected with braces. And, after their teeth were straightened, they were no longer embarrassed to talk to strangers or to show off their glamorous teeth with a winning smile. But, behind every one of those lovely smiles is a knowledgeable orthodontist who made the transformations possible.

Invisalign for Adults

Most adults hesitate having their teeth straightened because they don’t want to be seen with the traditional wire braces across their teeth. But, today’s orthodontic techniques enable adults needing to have corrective teeth procedures performed without permanently attached wires, and it is called Invisalign. These appliances are wireless, removable for cleaning and while eating, and are nearly invisible for anyone to detect. New, custom made, Invisaligns are made every few months throughout the procedure to accommodate each re-positioning phase as the teeth align.

When you give a smile, you usually get one in return. What an easy way to brighten the day of a loved one or a stranger. A beautiful smile can take you many places in life. It is often the door opener for a job offer or a first date.

An orthodontist specializes in the treatment of straightening malformed teeth and bites due to occlusions that form when adult teeth erupt. There can also be a genetic factor involved where the problem may present sooner. They can examine children as young as 7 years old to get a look via digital X-ray to determine if the adult teeth are growing in properly. Misaligned teeth that are not properly straightened and maintained by orthodontics can result in poor bite, jaw and head pain and loss of teeth.

At Marin Orthodontics, Drs. Gorton, Schmohl and Nichelini use the most advanced and least invasive techniques to fit braces properly. The faculty is experienced in the treatment of orthodontic issues of all natures. Your orthodontist at Marin really listens and cares about the well being and comfort of each and every patient and treats each as an individual. Since orthodontics is never a one size fits all situation, every patient is given an examination and consultation based on their individual needs.

Our orthodontists will offers several treatments for many types of orthodontic issues. Invisalign and Damon clear braces offer nearly invisible correction of misaligned teeth. Invisalign can be removed for cleaning and eating. We offer braces with colors for fashionable correction in addition to metal ones with wires. We can often use the Acceledent correction technique to hasten correction in many cases.

Are you proud of your lovely teeth? If so, show them to the world with a big smile! However, if you feel that your teeth could be straighter to give you a perfectly symmetrical smile, consider consulting an orthodontist. Chances are corrective treatment is much easier and more affordable than you think. Here are just a few services that a competent orthodontist can provide to make your smile memorable to everyone who sees it.

Traditional braces.

Wires and brackets have successfully improved the smiles of countless people for decades. Effective, affordable, and convenient, traditional braces help to straighten teeth, shift them to their proper positions, and close gaps caused by missing teeth. Within a relatively short time, your smile will be amazingly transformed, and you will feel more confident than ever when you begin receiving compliments on your new look.

Specialty braces.

For those who want to have orthodontic work done with a flair, they may be eligible for colorful brackets in their favorite colors, school colors, or other combinations. They might also be interested in Invisalign, a near-invisible type of treatment that most observers will not notice. Other types of treatment are available and can be explained when you call for an appointment.

Auxiliary treatment.

If other treatment is needed to address oral issues in the mouth, such as being tongue-tied or having an undescended tooth embedded in the upper palate, the orthodontist will either perform this work or refer the patient to a qualified specialist. These additional services will be scheduled to coordinate with orthodontic treatment so that everything comes together in order as planned.
