You Are Never Too Old for Orthodontics in West Haven and Milford CT!

When you think orthodontics, what words come to mind? Perhaps expensive, teenager, braces, metal mouth or tinsel teeth pop in your head.  Let go of your old ways of thinking and let in new ideas to comfort you regarding orthodontics.  What if you could straighten your smile with confidence in an affordable way in the West Haven and Milford areas?  If you think you are too old for braces or the costs of braces is too high, then think again. You are never too old to straighten your smile with confidence at an affordable price.

At Shoreline Dental Care, Dr. Joe Tartagni provides comprehensive orthodontics at affordable prices and easy to set-up payment plans.  As a patient you have options for adult braces including clear braces and invisible braces.  With two convenient locations in West Haven and Milford you owe it to yourself to take a step towards giving your smile the makeover it deserves.

Normal metal braces and lingual braces

Normal metal braces focus more on a person’s bite causing uncomforting feelings in your mouth due to harder pressure applied from the metal brackets and wires. This process can take an average of two and a half years to finish!  Not to mention, it can be embarrassing walking around with a mouthful of metal.

Lingual braces are the same concept as regular braces, however for those who are image conscious, these wires and brackets reside behind the teeth.  Not all orthodontists can provide you with lingual braces because specialized training is required.

Six Month Smiles braces

In a matter of six months, this new process uses clear braces to straighten smiles in adults.  Using special nickel titanium tooth-colored wires and clear brackets to apply a gentle and steady pressure, Six Month Smiles is less painful and quicker than metal braces.  These clear braces address issues with overcrowding and spacing rather than the repositioning your bite.  Because of this, patients usually have a straighter smile in an average of just six months.  Shorter time enables you to visit the office fewer times which saves you time and money!

Invisalign

This effective and proven to be successful process is another alternative to adult braces.  If metal in your mouth just doesn’t suit you at all regardless of color or visibility, then Invisalign could be right for you.  Dr. Tartagni will generate a full 3-D image plan designed especially for you and Invisalign will provide you with your customized clear plastic aligners.  Each set usually lasts about two weeks and can easily be taken in and out when you want to enjoy your favorite foods that you may have to give up when using adult braces such as normal metal braces, lingual braces or Six Month Smiles.

The Invisalign alternative to orthodontics will leave you metal-free as you straighten your teeth in a matter of 12-18 months.  Shoreline Dental Care can provide affordable payment plans so you don’t have to worry about the cost of braces being out of your league.

Be comforted with your new ideas regarding orthodontics because it’s never too late for a confident, straight smile.  Call your Shoreline Dental Care dentist in West Haven and Milford CT today and schedule your appointment with Dr. Joe Tartagni to discuss you options for comprehensive orthodontic care.
