Many people who suffer from misalignment want a straighter smile without wearing metal orthodontics. We often have patients ask: “Can I fix my crooked teeth without braces?” Fortunately, many can with clear braces. Clear Aligner Systems and even Six Month Smiles offer practically invisible alternatives to traditional orthodontic treatment.

Answer Key
- True. We will use an intraoral camera to gather mages of your smile. An Clear Aligner Systems lab will use the materials to create a series of aligners. Made from clear, BPA-free plastic, they will gradually correct your teeth in about a year.
- True. We often recommend this option for patients over the age of 15 who have minor alignment issues. If you want to know if you qualify, simply schedule a free cosmetic consultation. We will discuss your smile goals and examine your teeth to see if this option will work best for your smile.
- True. We also offer another alternative to Clear Aligner Systems. Six Month Smiles does use braces, but they involve clear brackets and tooth-colored arch wires to ensure a less noticeable option. In addition, this option can correct the teeth in as little as three to six months.
- True. Without treatment, uneven teeth allow places for food to become stuck between teeth and broken down by bacteria. The patient can then experience an increase risk of tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, misalignment can potentially strain the jaw joints, leading to TMJ disorder and bruxism.
