Distinctive dental solutions use modern techniques and the latest technologies to improve Mission Viejo smiles

You don't have to wear conventional braces made from metal brackets and wires to straighten your teeth anymore. Basti Dental Care offers distinctive dental solutions in Mission Viejo as an alternative to conventional straightening techniques.

While options vary, they can all help you feel better about your smile. When you are confident about the appearance of your smile, you'll naturally find yourself smiling more. Studies have shown that an attractive smile not only conveys happiness but is also associated with wealth, success, and even trustworthiness and intelligence.

Modern braces

Drs. Alex and Nina Basti offer many different orthodontic treatments. Braces are not a bad word to Basti Dental Care. They may be a preferred treatment for you. You aren't stuck, though, with metal. You can get traditional ceramic braces. Since these brackets are tooth-colored, they are less noticeable.

Six Month Smiles

This option also uses conventional straightening methods. You can't see the braces because Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires. The name comes from the fact that you can straighten your teeth in an average of six months. This is possible because treatment moves only the teeth in your smile zone.

Invisalign

Unlike the fixed options mentioned above, these clear aligners may be removed for cleaning, eating, and special occasions. A series of clear aligners are worn to correspond with progressive treatment. You use a new set of aligners every two weeks, but only have to see Basti Dental Care every six weeks so they can assess how treatment is progressing.

Considerations

Just because Six Months Smiles may be a viable treatment for your friend or family member doesn't mean it's the best option for you. Likewise, you may be a candidate for a treatment such as Invisalign but your friend or relative may be best suited for traditional braces. In some cases, you may not even need orthodontic treatments at all. Dental veneers and bonding, for example, can address minor cosmetic issues.

Drs. Basti will want to consult with you to determine which of these options is best for you. Basti Dental Care will consider factors such as age, existing jaw-related conditions, varying teeth sizes, and the severity of any alignment or spacing imbalances.
