Moving teeth requires the placement of pressure. That pressure shifts the root system of the tooth breaking down supportive alveolar bone tissue. Once the tooth reaches its new position, the bone and gum tissue reattach. No matter how you perform these movements, there will be some discomfort, but unlike other orthodontic solutions, Invisalign may be a much more comfortable solution that limits patient discomfort throughout the course of treatment, especially compared with traditional bracket and wire braces.

When you walk around and see kids or teens wearing braces, it’s something that’s normal. Young mouths that are misaligned need proper straightening treatment so they can enjoy their youth while having a smile that’s straight and beautiful. Unfortunately for some adults, they weren’t able to receive orthodontic treatment, therefore suffering with misaligned teeth or an odd bite. We’re here to let you know that there are straightening options for adults. Our office in Brookline, MA specializes in outfitting adults with teeth-straightening treatment that delivers results fast.

Friends and family won’t believe their eyes when they see the results. If you’re ready to do something about your misaligned teeth or improper bite, take advantage of our adult orthodontic services.

Propel Orthodontic Technology: Your New Smile, Even Faster
June 17, 2014
At Boston Smile Center, Dr. Sasson continually strives to provide the very best cutting edge adult orthodontic treatment for our patients. We are excited to be one of the first dental practices in our area to offer the FDA approved PROPEL® technology.
PROPEL® will shorten orthodontic treatments for both braces and clear aligners by almost half the time. This has become a game changer for our adult patients! While each patient varies, many patients are now able to complete their orthodontic treatment in just 3 – 10 months. Even if you have already begun treatment, adding Propel will dramatically shorten the expected treatment time.
PROPEL® works with the patient’s own biology by stimulating the bone surrounding the teeth allowing the teeth to move faster and more predictably into their ideal position. PROPEL® requires few office visits and allows our adult orthodontic patients to see their new smiles faster than ever.
PROPEL® is so versatile that we can include it with our Insignia and Damon Clear braces, Invisalign clear aligner, STb and Six Month Smiles adult orthodontic treatments.
At Boston Smile Center we always offer complimentary consultations, and we include free teeth whitening at the end of your treatment as well as a free water pic during treatment to keep that radiant smile bright. Contact our office today to schedule your complimentary confidential consultation.
