Minor Tooth Movement (MTM)
An excellent option to correct minor crowding or spacing in 4-6 months with completely hidden braces that fit behind your teeth. Many people who have had orthodontic treatment as a teen are wanting something quick and easy to regain that dazzling smile, and MTM delivers. Other patients just have a few teeth out of alignment and would like to experience the smile they have always wanted. Either way, Dr. Emerson will evaluate your teeth to let you know if this product will work for your teeth.
Frictionless Braces
There are many brands of frictionless braces such as The Damon System, Time, In-Ovation, and Smart clip. In the last few years, Dr. Emerson has treated many patients using each of these systems of braces. All of these braces work the same in allowing very crowded cases to align faster than traditional braces. Using these braces in combination with highly flexible, space-age-technology wires, designed by NASA, can produce amazing results.
