Start This New Year with a New Smile with Braces
When you think about reaching your goals, what comes to mind? You might have a health or a financial benchmark you’re trying to hit. But don’t forget about the goals that will help you feel confident in 2023 and beyond.
Take a straight smile as an example. If you don’t feel great about your teeth, you’ve probably developed coping mechanisms. You might hide your smile or be less gregarious when meeting people. Ultimately, your current smile might be holding you back.
It’s time for that to stop. At our Duval Orthodontics offices in Warner Robins and Albany, Georgia, J.A. Duval, DDS, applies his expertise to help you get the straight smile of your dreams. If you’ve always been curious about adult braces, stop wondering and start moving toward straight teeth.
Why now’s the time
Unless you intervene, your teeth aren’t going to get any straighter. If this issue bothers you now, it’s going to keep bugging you until you act on it.
Plus, you won’t be alone. Adult braces have climbed in popularity in recent years.
Need another reason? Dr. Duval offers a variety of different types of braces, which means you can get straighter teeth faster and more discreetly than you can probably imagine.
Exploring your options
Dr. Duval offers traditional braces, but he doesn’t stop there. He also offers:
- Minimally visible clear ceramic braces
- Gold braces if you want to make a fashion statement
- Invisalign® clear aligners
- Incognito™ braces, which put the brackets on the inside of your teeth
Whether you’re looking for flash or for a way to straighten your teeth without people noticing, Dr. Duval has options.
Beyond that, he has ways to shorten your treatment time. With Damon® braces — which can come with clear brackets — you don’t have an archwire. Instead, this innovative technology moves your teeth consistently and gently into their desired position faster than traditional braces.
If you’re really looking to get your dream smile quickly, Dr. Duval also offers Six Month Smiles®. This system also uses clear brackets and is designed to reposition your teeth as quickly as possible. Talk with Dr. Duval to find out if you’re a candidate to use this treatment option that can get you straight teeth in half a year.
As you can tell, getting your dream smile doesn’t have to mean walking around with a mouthful of visible metal for years. Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology and Dr. Duval’s expertise, straightening your teeth can be faster, easier, and less visible than ever before.
Make 2023 your year. To get started on the path to your dream smile, call either of our offices or book your appointment with Dr. Duval online today.
