Instant Orthodontics :

For years, patients with crooked or misaligned teeth faced a long, painful process in order to enjoy a beautiful smile. Now patients have the option of "Instant Orthodontics," a process whereby a patient's smile is improved without months or years of wearing painful orthodontic braces.

According to Dr. Jacques, "We can now recreate smiles by changing the shape or color of the teeth, by increasing or decreasing the space between teeth, and even by lengthening or shortening the size of a tooth."

"Instant Orthodontics" really isn't orthodontics at all. By definition, orthodontics is the process of moving teeth. "Instant Orthodontics" uses Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns to achieve the same appearance as traditional orthodontics, without ever moving the teeth.

Using Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns, and sometimes Dental Bonding, expertly trained dentists, like Dr. Jacques, are able to create straight-looking teeth. "We take a patient with crooked teeth," explains Dr. Jacques, "and we shave off where we don't want tooth structure to be, add materials where we do want tooth structure to be, and make it all nice and uniform with porcelain restorations."

Porcelain Veneers, wafer-thin shells of porcelain less than one millimeter thick, have an extremely strong surface, providing for much greater luster, diversity, and dynamism than previous dental bonding materials

Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns, sometimes the welcome substitute for drawn-out orthodontic procedures, is on the fast track to closing the gaps that only traditional braces could before. In only a few visits over a two or three week period of time, Dr. Jacques can create an "orthodontics fix" on teeth without actual orthodontics or its slow process.

"There has never been a time that dental patients have been given more options than what they are being offered today," notes Dr. Jacques. "More and more patients continue to turn to the option of Porcelain Veneers. There is an instantaneous satisfaction factor, allowing everyone seeking this option to experience immediate results."

Though not all orthodontic procedures can be addressed by Porcelain Veneers and Porcelain Crowns, it is a viable option for more and more cosmetic dental patients. The recreation and rejuvenation of your smile can be just a couple of weeks away!
