Teeth Alignment in Woonsocket
Advances in dental technology have allowed the doctors at Dr. Dave Ward, DMD to provide patients across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts with two new and exciting ways to straighten their teeth and improve their smile. The use of clear aligners through Invisalign or OrthoFx allows our patients to gain self-confidence and a bright new smile.
Aligner trays are made of smooth, flexible and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. They are held in the mouth by small tooth-colored attachments to which aligners will snap into. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place. The exact movements of teeth are determined by your treating dentist with the help of advanced dental software. Using this technology, you will have a better sense of where your smile is starting and how it will change over time.
There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You'll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. Aligners are to be worn for a majority of each day (approximately 22 hours) and only taken out while eating and brushing your teeth. Patient compliance is a very big part of any Invisalign or OrthoFx case.
While orthodontic treatments are used to straighten teeth for an enhanced smile, they can also help restore functionality to your teeth, jaw, and bite. Alignment is not just for children; adults can often benefit from orthodontic treatment.
Based on your budget and needs, we will be able to guide you in the right direction so that you are one step closer to obtaining your desired smile. If you have any questions regarding alignment or if you want to schedule an evaluation, please call our office at 401-762-2422.
