How He Does It

First we can do a cleaning, fillings, and addressing other basic dental problems. Then the teeth are straightened with clear, metal or invisible braces BEHIND THE TEETH in just 6 months through sanding between teeth or sometimes removing a tooth. Very often patients also notice a more comfortable bite, less wear on crooked teeth, less food collection in between teeth and fewer gum problems in the future. The teeth are moved small distances so they stay straight! After treatment the teeth are held in place with either retainers or splinted (connected) behind the teeth so no relapse is possible. At the last visit other cosmetic treatments such as gum and tooth reshaping and bleaching can be provided for a dramatic final result. As a skilled general dentist Dr. Georgaklis has a lot of experience in these other cosmetic modalities.
