Personalized Orthodontic Solutions for Every Stage of Life
Discover Your Path to a Perfectly Aligned Smile
At Bain Dental & Aesthetics Group, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to help you achieve a straight, confident smile. Our options include traditional braces, ClearCorrect™, and Invisalign® aligners, each tailored to meet your unique needs and lifestyle.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are a time-tested method for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Comprising metal brackets and wires, braces apply gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. They are highly effective for treating complex orthodontic cases, providing precise control over tooth movement.
Are They Right For You?
Corrective dental braces have a high rate of success in both children and adults. They provide you with oral health benefits beyond a perfect smile. When your teeth are crooked or overcrowded it can make it difficult to properly brush and floss your teeth. As a result, you are more prone to the following difficulties:
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
- Cavities
- Broken or cracked teeth
- Bone erosion
- Abnormal wear
- TMJ pain
- Headaches
As you can see, braces can help save you and your teeth from several health problems later in life! Consult a dentist in Carrollton, GA to help prevent these issues.
When Should You Get Braces?
Ideally, treatment with braces would begin between 7 and 14 years old. Not everyone is able to get braces during that time frame, though, and it’s becoming more common for adults to get braces later in life. It’s never too late to correct your teeth and get that perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of!
Some of the signs and symptoms that you need braces are:
- Visibly crooked or crowded teeth.
- Difficulty flossing between or around teeth.
- Frequently biting or cutting your tongue on your teeth.
- Teeth that don’t close properly when your jaw is closed.
- Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds because of your tongue’s position under your teeth.
- Jaws that click or make noise when you chew.
- Stress on your jaw after chewing food.
If you notice your child has any of the above symptoms, bring them in for an evaluation by one of our dentists specializing in smile makeovers. If you're looking for a dentist near me in Carrollton, starting treatment early can help to simplify the treatment later. We have also dentists in Bowdon, GA, and Villa Rica, GA.
Types of Braces
The most common types of braces are fixed and removable.
We offer these types of fixed braces:
- Conventional braces- these require metal or elastic ties to hold the wire in place.
- Self-litigating braces- they do not require metal or elastic ties and can create proper tooth alignment faster. They are more comfortable than traditional braces and require fewer adjustments.
- Ceramic braces- they are less noticeable than normal metal braces as they blend in with the natural color of your teeth. Because they are made from porcelain, they are generally more expensive and prone to damage.
Removable braces, also called aligners, are used only when your teeth need to be moved horizontally. To learn more about the removable braces we offer, see our pages on Invisalign® and ClearCorrect™.
How Much Do They Cost?
Every individual is different and their treatment plan will be tailored to their precise needs. During the initial visit, we will discuss the best treatment for your needs and will outline your treatment plan, the expected time for treatment, and the approximate cost.
ClearCorrect™ Aligners
ClearCorrect™ offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces, utilizing clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are removable, allowing for easy maintenance of oral hygiene and the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. ClearCorrect™ is suitable for addressing issues such as crooked or rotated teeth, spacing between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crowded teeth.
ClearCorrect™ Invisible Braces
Teeth straightening treatments typically occur during the teenage years and it’s not uncommon to see a kid with a mouth full of metal braces. But what if you didn’t get your teeth corrected as a kid? Or they’ve shifted back out of place? Unfortunately, many adults and even teenagers feel embarrassed or uncomfortable getting braces later in life, not only because of the discomfort caused by them but also because it draws attention to their problem. ClearCorrect is an invisible aligner that gets the job done without anyone noticing, so you can feel confident with your smile!
How Does it Work?
The first thing done is a thorough assessment of your overall oral health. Once that’s complete, we’ll take several impressions of your teeth so they can be sent over to the ClearCorrect lab for them to create a 3D model. Based on these impressions, a treatment plan will be tailor-made for you and your custom aligner will be created.
You will need to wear your aligners all of the time, except for brushing, flossing, and during meals. Don’t worry though, ClearCorrect aligners are made from a thinner material and are practically invisible!
Is ClearCorrect™ Right for You?
ClearCorrect aligners can correct the following issues:
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Spacing between teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crowded teeth
Invisalign® Aligners
Invisalign® aligners are another clear aligner option designed to straighten teeth comfortably and discreetly. Made from SmartTrack® material, these aligners fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible. Invisalign® can effectively treat a range of orthodontic issues, including crossbites, crowding, gapped teeth, open bites, overbites, and underbites. The aligners are removable, making it easy to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
The most well-known benefit of choosing Invisalign® aligners is that they are virtually invisible so you don’t have to feel self-conscious about your smile while you straighten your teeth. The following are even more benefits you may not know about:
- Better Fit- the aligners are created from SmartTrack® material and are fit better, are more comfortable, and very easy to put on and take off.
- Clinically Proven- – these aligners use SmartTrack® materials and SmartForce® features, which are clinically proven to improve the control of teeth movement.
- Convenience- treatment with Invisalign® aligners is ideal for someone with a busy schedule, as you only need to visit the office once every six weeks!
- Effective- we can treat a broad range of conditions with Invisalign® aligners, including crossbites, crowding, gapped teeth, open bites, overbites, and underbites.
- Faster treatment- weekly aligner changes mean that you will have your ideal smile even faster. Most patients see results after a few weeks and treatment can be completed in about 12 months.
- Removable- not only are the aligners clear and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. This means that you can still do all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating the foods you love.
Custom Treatment Plan
One of the great things about Invisalign® aligners is that we can see what your smile will look like. Using a digital scanner we create a precise 3D image of your teeth. From this, we can map out a precise treatment plan and how long the process will take. We can even show you how your teeth will move.
As you change your aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually move and shift into place.
