Our Solutions
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin porcelain facings that are placed over the front of teeth to cover blemishes and discoloration, but also can be used to close gaps and straighten moderately crooked teeth.
Even very badly crowded or overlapping teeth can be straightened with veneers, but we may sometimes recommend some orthodontics prior to your veneers placement. Very crooked teeth can require more shaving down of the teeth, and there can still be problems with the forces of biting and chewing that could damage your teeth or roots as well as lead to periodontal problems.
If we feel it’s necessary, our cosmetic dentist will recommend short-term orthodontics with one of our braces or aligner solutions.
Six Month Smiles uses single tooth-colored ceramic wires to straighten the teeth that show when you smile. The average treatment time is only six months.
The innovative Six Month Smiles system uses low force to move teeth gently and is a safe and proven procedure. It’s typically less expensive than other orthodontic solutions.
Who are candidates for Six Month Smiles? Adults and teenagers 15 and over with crooked or spaced teeth are candidates for Six Month Smiles. The emphasis is on the cosmetic appearance and not the bite (how teeth come together). For patients needing their bite aligned, we’ll recommend other orthodontic solutions. Most adults are candidates for Six Month Smiles.
Invisalign® clear straightening is the most famous of the clear alternatives to braces. Invisalign® uses clear plastic “aligners”, which are tray-like appliances that fit snugly over your teeth and move them into their optimum position through a series of aligner changes every two weeks.
The aligners are comfortable and can be removed for eating and oral hygiene. Treatment for adults is generally one year to eighteen months, with six-weekly visits to our Mays Landing or Somers Point, NJ dental practice.
We also prescribe the more economical ClearCorrect® system, which works on the same principle, and SmartMoves®, also more economical. Our team uses SmartMoves® for fast cosmetic straightening and finds it the most comfortable aligner solution for our patients.
Our dentists recommend Inman Aligners to straighten crowded lower front teeth. Treatment typically takes 6 to 18 weeks, depending on the extent of crowding.
How do Inman Aligners work? Inman Aligners have nickel-titanium coil springs that power two aligner bows that gently oppose each other, guiding the teeth into their new position. The inner bow pushes forward while the outer bow pulls back on the front teeth.
The aligner needs to be worn 16-20 hours per day and requires checks every two to three weeks.
