How long does it take to get straight teeth?

Although orthodontic treatment times vary greatly from patient to patient, depending on one's individual needs, braces can deliver results up to 2X times faster than Invisalign.  Why are traditional barces more effective? Answer: Because they are permanently bonded to the tooth, and continually act to straighten teeth.

It’s a fact: Research shows that most patients don't consistently wear their Invisalign as directed. By not wearing the Invisalign retainers, treatment can potentially take longer, and expected results may not be achieved. Ask Dr. Sarah Jovanovski, Orthodontic specialist, which tooth movement option works best for you.

If you don't have time for your teeth to slowly move into a better position, veneers can get the job done in as little as 2visits to your cosmetic dentist (prosthodontist). Another advantage of veneers is that they address color as well, so you get a straight, white, beautiful smile in a matter of weeks, as opposed to many months. Dr. Sarah’s husband, Dr. Ace Jovanovski, is a world-renowned specialist in restoring your smile with veneers.

It is certainly preferable to do as little dentistry as possible to achieve your goals.  If the average life expectancy is 80 years old, you spend approximately 2% of your life in braces!! “Donating 2 years of your life to orthodontic treatment, can give you a smile that last MUCH longer after that, it’s a fair trade off,” says Round Rock Orthodontist, Sarah Jovanovski.  Orthodontic treatment could be enough to effect a dramatic change in the smile, lip support, face, and self-confidence.

However, you don't like the color or shape of your teeth, braces of any kind will not get you the complete results you want. Veneers, in those cases, might be the option for you depending on your budget and values. Whitening, coupled with braces, might be the best option depending on the circumstances. Educate yourself and find a dentist who can offer you what you want....and one who you can trust! Dr. Sarah and Ace Jovanovski are both specialists, located in one location, that can help you achieve Braces what you’ve always wanted.
