Do you wish you could have a straight, healthy smile, but you do not want to wear metal braces? There are new options in orthodontics to give you the smile you want, without metal brackets or wires. At Mercy Dental, we can help you achieve a healthier, aligned smile with our orthodontic options. We offer these orthodontic treatments at our office in Edinburg:
Orthodontics
Orthodontics are used to correct misaligned teeth, shifting them into their preferred position. If teeth are overlapping, crooked or gapped, it is more than just a cosmetic issue and may require other dental care services. While many of our patients seek orthodontic treatment to improve the look of their smile, it is also healthier for their teeth to be straight and aligned. Straight teeth are easier to keep clean, making it simpler to avoid decay, gum disease and other oral health issues. Plus, everyone likes the look of a straight smile.
Straighten Your Smile Discreetly
Metal braces were once the standard to shift teeth into position. However, they are no longer the preferred method for patients. Most people would rather not have the discomfort or appearance of braces. Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to shift teeth into place. They are barely noticeable while you are wearing them and do not poke or rub against your lips or gums like metal braces. Plus, they can be removed to eat or brush your teeth, making them convenient and easy to use. Both teens and adults can use Invisalign to straighten their smiles comfortably and discreetly.
If you or your teenager needs orthodontics, come see us at Mercy Dental. We can help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile without the need for metal braces. Contact us today to schedule your orthodontic consultation to learn more about the options available. We accept a variety of dental insurance plans and we use CareCredit for flexible financing options.
