Orthodontics & Braces in Wilmington MA

Are you an adult with crooked teeth you would like to improve? Have you experienced orthodontic relapse? We can help! We know that orthodontics is not just for kids anymore. In fact, more and more adults seek smile straightening procedures. It makes sense because we are living longer than ever and today’s adults have incredibly active business and social lives.

At Smile Life Dental, we offer some of the most versatile options available for quick and convenient treatment of adult teeth. Not every case is the same, so once you have an evaluation with Dr. Caselle, we can provide the options that might work best for you.

We are pleased to offer three orthodontic options: Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, and MTM Aligner Therapy. Each system has distinct advantages, which can address the orthodontic needs of many adult patients.

Orthodontic Treatment With Invisalign

Invisalign is effective at treating a broad range of cases from overly crowded teeth to underbites and tooth misalignment. We utilize removable clear aligners to move your teeth with the help of tooth-colored attachments. Dr. Caselle bonds the attachments to specific teeth to assist in movement. Average treatment time takes about one year to complete if you follow the recommended treatment.

Invisalign is virtually invisible to those around you. The aligners fit so snugly; you learn to talk with them quickly. Keeping your teeth healthy is a breeze because you can floss and brush normally.

Cosmetic Improvements With Six Month Smiles

Six Month Smiles is a more cosmetic-focused treatment option that uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to correct misaligned front teeth without making changes to the way your back teeth bite together.

If you are at least fifteen years old with crooked or spaced teeth, Six Month Smiles can be a fantastic option.

Minor Orthodontic Treatment With MTM (Minor Tooth Movement) Clear-Aligner Therapy

MTM Clear-Aligner Therapy is a simple solution to minor tooth misalignment, which uses clear aligners to move individual teeth into an ideal position. It is a great way to correct orthodontic relapse or other straightforward conditions. Treatment is approximately 3-6 months and requires no bonding of tooth-colored attachments.

Like Invisalign, MTM Aligner Therapy is virtually invisible and easy to get used to. No one will realize you are wearing your aligners. You can speak normally and cleaning them is easy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need braces?

Many people look at their mouths and see teeth that are crowded or rotated, and may not consider orthodontics because they feel it is a cosmetic treatment.

However, in many cases, this misalignment of teeth can lead to periodontal disease since it is more difficult to remove plaque and harmful bacteria. Also, poor alignment of teeth can create excessive pressure, resulting in chipping and grooves at the gumline. Eventually, this constant wear will result in gum recession, sensitivity, loose teeth, and tooth loss.

When teeth are correctly aligned, you reduce the chances of periodontal disease and the abnormal wear and trauma that can result. Research has shown that periodontal disease, if left untreated, may increase the risk for coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

At our Wilmington dental office, we are pleased to offer two treatment options to meet your orthodontic needs: Six Month Smiles and Invisalign.

Six Month Smiles addresses the alignment of the teeth that are visible when you smile using tooth-colored brackets and wires. Since we are only treating the front teeth, treatment takes approximately six months.

Invisalign uses nearly invisible aligners to gradually move teeth. They are removable, making it easy to care for your teeth throughout treatment.

Certainly the thought of going through orthodontic treatment is not something that is very appealing to adults because of the wires brackets, time and cost of treatment.

Over the years new technologies have been developed to allow dentists to correct these minor misalignments easily and virtually invisible. By using clear trays that gradually move individual teeth gently ...
