What are the best options available for straightening my teeth?
At Enhance Dental Center, we offer both traditional braces and clear aligners like Invisalign. The choice depends on your dental needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Clear aligners are great for discreet, comfortable treatment, while braces are ideal for addressing complex alignment issues.
How long do teeth straightening treatment usually take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, it can take 6 to 24 months. Clear aligners often provide quicker results for mild cases, while braces might take longer for more severe issues.
What is the difference between traditional Braces and clear aligners like Invisalign?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth, while Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays. Aligners are more discreet and removable, making them convenient for eating and oral hygiene. Braces, however, are better for complex cases.

Can teeth straightening improve my bite and overall oral health?
Absolutely! Straightening your teeth can correct bite issues, making chewing more efficient and reducing the risk of problems like tooth wear, jaw pain, and gum disease. It also makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene.
Are there any risks or side effects associated with teeth straightening?
Risks are minimal but can include temporary discomfort, slight gum irritation, or tooth sensitivity. With proper care and monitoring by our team, these risks are easily managed.
What happens if I don’t wear my retainer after teeth straightening treatment?
Failing to wear your retainer can cause your teeth to shift back to their original position, undoing the results of your treatment. To maintain your beautiful new smile, we emphasize the importance of wearing your retainer as prescribed.
