Unfortunately, it’s a fact of nature that teeth often don’t come in exactly how they should. While most people focus on the aesthetics of misaligned teeth, the mechanics are every bit as (if not more) important. If you think about it, a lifetime of chewing involves an incredible amount of force and repetition. When your top teeth don’t fit over your bottom teeth just right, your jaw joints can get steadily worn out and eating can become steadily more painful. Of course, Dr. Azra Saleem, DDS -- your
local Wallingford family dentist -- understands that aesthetics matter too. This is why she’d like you to know about a new system of teeth alignment called “Six Month Smiles”. Not only will it improve the mechanics of your jaw motion, it will also straighten out your smile without having to go through the years’ long rigmarole associated with traditional braces.
Orthodontic Treatment Wallingford
At the outset, Dr. Azra Saleem, DDS, would like to emphasize that the Six Month Smiles program is only for people with relatively minor misalignments. This is why your first step should be to schedule an appointment with your
local Wallingford family dentist to see if your teeth are good candidates for Six Month Smiles or if you’d be better off seeking more conventional orthodontic treatment. If you are a good candidate, we’ll get to work on your teeth. We’ll install tooth-colored braces and wires, so people will hardly even notice that you’re getting anything done to your teeth. Then, over the next weeks and months, we’ll gradually tighten the wires, gently coaxing your teeth into a better position. True to its name, you’ll have a brand new smile in half-a-year -- no time at all compared to how long standard orthodontic treatments take.
Does the Six Month Smiles program sound like something you might be interested in? Come into the office of Dr. Azra Saleem, DDS. She’ll give your teeth a thorough going over and answer any questions you may have. Why wait a moment longer? You’re probably due for your routine dental exam anyway, right? Go ahead, give our
local Wallingford family dentist a call or use this website to set up an appointment.
