Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any any age.

It is a common misconception that adults cannot receive

orthodontic treatment like children and teens. Adult

orthodontics is becoming more popular today and now

there are more cosmetic choices available. With modern

advances, adults can explore a variety of treatment options

such as the newest generation in-ovation-braces brackets,

clear braces and Invisalign.

Invisalign

Invisalign® is one of the newest advances in orthodontics.  

In addition to metal and clear braces, you can now be a candidate

for a clear “invisible” solution.  Invisalign is a patented system

where 3-D computer imaging is used to create an accurate image

of your teeth. A series of custom clear aligners are manufactured

that fit over your teeth, and gradually  straighten them without the

need for metal wires or braces. The Invisalign system has been

proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices

worldwide. However, only a certified orthodontist  like Dr. Azar,

can undertake this procedure. Dr. Azar was among the first group

of doctors to become certified in Invisalign. Dr. Azar is an

Invisalign Preferred Provider orthodontist, which means she is

among the top 5% of all Invisalign Providers in North America

and that she has successfully treated more cases than most dentists

and orthodontists combined.

In-Ovation® C (clear) brackets system

Designed to create an aesthetic appearance,

the In-Ovation® C (clear) brackets system uses high translucency

and rhodium-coated clip technology, making the braces less visible.

The self-ligating clip offers the advantages of the

In-Ovation R (metal) brackets (metal) brackets, but the clear

color appeals to image-conscious patients who want their braces to

appear less noticeable.

Benefits of self-ligating brackets include:

Less friction
Decreased plaque development
Fewer office visits
Shorter treatment time
In-Ovation C (clear) brackets allow you to maximize these advantages while wearing

a more attractive, less obvious bracket system.
