What is Smart Moves Orthodontics?
New forms of teeth straightening, other than traditional metal braces, have exploded in popularity as people of all ages discover it’s possible to straighten their teeth more easily than ever. Our office uses a simple orthodontic treatment called Smart Moves to help straighten teeth for patients with crooked or misaligned teeth.
Maybe you were lucky enough not to need braces as a teen, but have had teeth start to move out of place or become crowded as you get older. Or maybe you did have conventional metal braces when you were younger, but your teeth have shifted again over time. Smart Moves invisible braces can help correct both of these situations, as well as provide a straightening option for people who have only minor misalignment or crookedness that isn’t serious enough to warrant treatment with conventional braces.
How does Smart Moves Work?
Smart Moves is a custom-made series of clear aligner trays that work gently and gradually to move teeth into their desired position. Each set of trays is created especially for you and chosen to address your specific straightening issues. A typical treatment takes between two and six trays, with the last tray used as a retainer while you sleep, to keep your smile beautiful and straight. Smart Moves is intended for minor tooth movements and usually takes about six months to complete the treatment, although this varies from patient to patient.
