Kelowna Dentists Support Braces Craze Among Adults
Kelowna, British Columbia (PRWEB) July 26, 2013 -- When Kelowna dentists Jonathan Visscher and Debra Matson tell adults they straighten crooked teeth with barely visible braces in six months, their patients think it’s too good to be true.
“We were looking for a solution to a need many patients had when we found Six Months Smiles,” says Dr. Visscher, a partner at Kelowna dental clinic Okanagan Smiles. Last year they began offering the innovative new braces solution that uses a twist on traditional orthodontics via clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to align teeth that are slightly out of place.
Visscher says Six Months Smiles is perfect for adult patients who want an affordable and quick cosmetic fix for crooked teeth. “We’re seeing couples come in together, and they love that in between cleanings they can get their teeth straightened out. Plus, they aren't as visible as regular braces.”
The price tag—under $4,000—and the commitment— around six months—are appealing to adults, especially considering the alternatives. One might otherwise have to undergo an expensive two-year process and invasive procedures, such as jaw surgery, root canals, or veneers, to make way for straight teeth.
“This is really the first time in tooth movement that we have an option to the ideal, which is seeing an orthodontist for traditional braces or surgery,” says Visscher. He appreciates the control he has over the movement of patients’ teeth compared to other short-term braces solutions. But the best part about Six Month Smiles, of course, is the day he gets to take them off.
“They say, ‘These are my teeth!’ It’s just night and day from before, where everything was crowded and crooked, and now everything is lined up and looks so good!”
The Kelowna dentists at Okanagan Smiles offer a range of teeth whitening and straightening options as well as other state-of-the-art dentistry services to give patients of all ages beautiful, healthy smiles they’ll be proud of.
