Get a straighter smile in six months with Short Term Orthodontics.
For adults wanting a straighter smile in a shorter period of time, we can esthetically improve most patients’ smiles in about six months with Short Term Orthodontics.
Short term Orthodontics or STO is an effective and conservative esthetic treatment option for adult patients with maligned teeth. This cosmetically focused treatment is a great alternative to traditional orthodontics for patients wanting a straighter smile while not altering or changing their bite. This allows us to address our patients’ main concerns of teeth crowding or spacing without aggressive tooth reduction.
Another important aspect of STO is the use of clear brackets and tooth colored wires. This allows us to provide the most esthetic treatment option while still providing the forces we can only get by using brackets and wires.
Length of treatment is the number one obstacle most adults report on not going through with braces. The metal appearance and cost are a close second. With STO - specifically Six Month Smiles, we can do the treatment in an average of 6 months with clear brackets and tooth colored wire at about half the cost as compared to traditional comprehensive orthodontics. For more information about STO and to find out whether you are a candidate call or stop by today to schedule an appointment.
