3 MONTH BRACES?

PERHAPS THE FASTEST WAY TO HAVE A NATURALLY ATTRACTIVE SMILE!

As crazy as this sounds there are now dentists straightening teeth faster than ever imagined and it's perfectly legal. While speeding is frowned upon if you are cruising through a school zone, if you have orthodontic braces you will certainly appreciate a shorter treatment time. In fact, "when can I get these off" is something orthodontists have been hearing since caveman days!

For the most part, these cries have fallen on deaf ears. The profession has been more concerned with getting the teeth lined up so perfectly that sometimes it ends up being a longer process than it needs to be. A recent article by an orthodontic expert states that " increased damage to the teeth can occur from longer orthodontic treatment times." This is good news for patients as it supports the concept of faster types of orthodontic treatment.

Just what is a hollywood smile? What looks good to one person may not always be desired by another but there are some general guidelines that should be followed. Generally, there is a correct position for each tooth in a person's mouth but this is not an exact science. The features that are noticable to the general public are:

* twisted teeth

* teeth that stick out

* gaps/spaces

* color

* missing teeth

* size and shape of teeth

* uneven tooth edges

Some of these features can be corrected by braces alone and others require some other type of cosmetic procedure. It is this combination of skills that dentists can use to speed up treatment and give patients the Hollywood smile they have always dreamed of!

The myths that have been persisted in the orthodontic community have also caused a delay in the availability of faster braces. Many professionals have still not heard of high speedbraces and thenew release 3 month braces and in fact would express skepticism that it was even possible or safe. The latest research is suggesting that more harm is actually caused to patients being in braces too long rather than those treated faster.

Is there any drawback to having your teeth straightened fast? Yes, and it will be the jealous comments of others who are envious of your new smile! Check out High Speed Braces now so that you can show off your new Hollywodd Smile at the beach this summer!

SOME WORDS FROM OUR PATIENTS:

" I am a pastor. I am a people person, and I like to smile. But all my life I was extremely self-conscious of my teeth. I had a speech impediment at a young age, and with my upper teeth beginning to shift outward with age, it was becoming increasingly more difficult to pronounce certain "S--words", not to mention the unsightly gap between my two front upper teeth. I know, to others it didn't seem that bad, but to me it always made me feel extremely uncomfortable and self-conscious.

I decided to talk to Dr Milavec about my dilemma. At 54 years of age and having a very low pain threshold, it would have seemed very unlikely than anyone could have talked me into braces!!! However, I liked the idea of what Dr Milavec said h could do for me, especially at a reasonable cost, and, as a result, I decided to take the plunge.

It was kind of awkward at first being 54 years "young" and having braces, but I adapyed quickly and began to use them as a conversational tool. I had previously abticipated having all kinds of pain and torment wearing braces, but it was nowhere near as bad as I had thought. Of course, it was a little uncomfortable, but certainly notpainful--- not even for me!

Well, one year later, almost to the day, I am writing this letter of encouragement to any of you who need braces but still are undecided. For myself, I can honestly say that i am so glad that I decided to take the plunge!!! To beable to confidently talk and laugh and smile with no sense of self-consciousness is such a hugh reward for me that it was well worth taking that step of faith.

So often when people come to the latter part of their lives, they have to live with so many regrets- things they could have or should have done to improve the quality of their lives and those around them. Being afraid to take the step of faith to invest in braces will never be one of those regrets for me"'

"Dear Dr Milavec,

I want to personally thank you for the experience I had with my braces.

I will admit that being 35 and getting braces for the first time was a scary thought. I was afraid of what people would think and if they would be painful. You recommended I go with clear braces and I believe it ws the best choice for me. I loved that no one could tell iI was wearing them and the only pain I felt ws a little tenderness which didn't last long at all. Also, the time from getting them on to theday I got them off went a lot faster than I thought it would. I was excited to see the progress each day.

I think it was well worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who is considering braces."

Thanks again,

Tammy Fritz
