Orthodontic treatment can give you the beautiful smile of your dreams without invasive procedures or pain.

Is orthodontics treatment right for me?

To find out if you’re a candidate for orthodontics treatment at Nuve Dental, Dr. Guzman discusses your oral health history, examines your teeth and gums, and reviews the results of dental X-rays. He talks about your desired outcome to find the right plan for you.

What are the different types of orthodontics treatments? .

The two main orthodontic treatments available at Nuve Dental include:

Traditional braces

Traditional braces consist of metal brackets Dr. Guzman securely bonds to the front part of each tooth. They attach wires to each bracket and tighten them periodically to slowly shift crooked teeth into their proper place.

Clear aligners

Clear aligners fit over the top of your teeth to gradually move them into a better position over time. Your dentist digitally scans your mouth to create aligners that fit perfectly over your natural teeth. You can wear the aligners all day and night, except when you eat and brush your teeth. Every week or two, switch to the next set of aligners in your series until you complete treatment.

How long will my treatment last?

The duration of your orthodontics treatment depends on your unique needs and situation. Treatment with clear aligners might last about 12-18 months, while treatment with traditional braces can take up to two years.
