Orthodontic options in Mission Viejo - invisible braces for teeth

Would you like to have a straighter smile? Crooked teeth and jaw misalignment can be embarrassing, and interfere with good oral hygiene. However, many adults are hesitant to seek orthodontic treatment due to the stigma attached to metal braces. We offer esthetic orthodontic options, including invisible braces.

Six month smiles invisible braces are not intended to correct problems such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Such conditions require jaw realignment, and these braces are specifically targeted for tooth straightening. The treatment is focused on the front teeth, which are visible when you smile or speak. Cosmetic corrections can be achieved in just a few months, with beautiful results.

We have esthetic options for patients seeking bite alignment as well. The Invisalign system is not actually braces. It is a technologically advanced way of straightening teeth and correcting alignment with clear aligner trays. The trays are comfortable, removable, and invisible. They are custom-made in a progressive series, making adjustments in minute increments. Every two weeks, you throw away the aligner you are wearing and move on to the next one in the series.

For patients who need traditional braces, but don’t want the look of metal, we offer esthetic porcelain. With an appearance and coloring similar to your teeth, porcelain is not highly noticeable in your simile. This is a good alternative to metal for many patients. If you do have to get metal braces, don’t worry. They are thinner, lighter and more comfortable than ever before.

Any orthodontic treatment will begin with an exam and consultation. Drs. Alex and Nina Basti are dedicated to providing individualized care, to meet the unique needs of every patient. They will explain your options, and help you choose the most esthetic, effective method. Call 949-427-2096 to learn more about esthetic orthodontics and schedule an appointment.
