The Benefits of Seeking Orthodontic Treatment

Improve Your Smile’s Aesthetic | A beautiful, healthy smile can greatly improve overall health and well-being. When you transform your smile, you can transform your life by improving self-esteem. A confident smile will make a lasting impact in many areas of your life.

Improve Your Bite | Orthodontics is a fantastic way to improve the alignment of your teeth. Improved alignment means more even stresses are placed on each tooth, which makes them last longer.

Protect Your Oral Health | The benefits of straighter teeth go beyond feeling more confident in your smile. Teeth that are crooked or have gaps allow harmful bacteria to build up, which greatly increases the chances of gum disease. Eliminate this risk with our amazing orthodontic procedures!

Become Proactive in Your Overall Well-Being | Gum inflammation and teeth that are difficult to clean are linked to health issues such as hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes.

At Deborah McNeil-Amorteguy, DDS, we offer clear braces, an innovative alternative to metal braces that allow you to have the benefit of straight teeth without the pain, inconvenience, and embarrassment of metal brackets. Whatever orthodontic needs you have, we will work with your schedule to get you the smile you want.

Which Orthodontic Treatment Option Is Right for Me?

Our office dedicates itself to providing each patient with completely individualized orthodontic care so they can have a truly unique and beautiful smile. Part of this process is helping you decide which orthodontic treatment style you would prefer.

Clear aligners are removable, a fantastic feature for those with a more active lifestyle. No need to worry about your invisible braces getting in the way of an event at which you will be photographed or a wine tasting, because you can simply remove them. This means fewer dietary restrictions as well!

The invisible brackets are an amazing option that can handle some of the more complex orthodontic issues that some clear aligners aren’t designed to. The invisible brackets orthodontic treatment can be done with either brackets or clear aligners.

Clear Aligners

Imagine getting your teeth straightened without any of your friends or peers noticing. With clear aligners, it’s possible. They are discreet, yet comfortable. They can even be removed for eating and brushing your teeth.

If clear aligners are the right option for you, Dr. Amorteguy will use the Medit3D scanner to scan your entire mouth. An entire series of clear aligners will then be custom-made for you. Dr. Amorteguy will check on your progress regularly to ensure your teeth are moving as they should.

With clear braces, you can quickly, discreetly, and comfortably get the straight and beautiful smile you deserve. This firm belief in quality orthodontic care has made Dr. Amorteguy a proud supporter of the charity organization Smiles for Life.
