Short-Term Orthodontics

Get Straight Teeth Without Pain

Transform Your Smile Faster With Short-Term Orthodontics in Glendale

One of the reasons many adults skip orthodontic care is how long it can take. Traditional metal braces can take several years to finish your treatment. With short-term orthodontics in Glendale, AZ, you'll straighten your teeth in months rather than years, allowing you to improve the appearance of your smile while straightening your teeth without anyone noticing.

You'll benefit from removable aligners that let you eat and brush your teeth comfortably, along with metal-free orthodontics that won't irritate your gums. This approach helps you maintain a professional appearance at work throughout your treatment.

Take a Clear Path to a New Smile

If you don't like the idea of waiting a long time to see changes happen, you'll love ClearCorrect. This short-term orthodontic option will give you results in about 12 to 18 months, which is far quicker than traditional braces:

Dr. Stanfield will examine your mouth to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment. If you are, he'll create digital scans of your teeth that will be used to create your custom-made aligners.

You'll return to pick up your ClearCorrect aligners and begin to wear them for about 22 hours a day. You'll move onto your next set of aligners every two or three weeks or so.

You'll also visit us occasionally for progress checks to ensure smooth treatment.

Look Forward to Straight Teeth

This time next year, you could have the straight teeth you've always wanted. Once you are finished, you can enhance your beautiful new smile even further.

You can give your smile that Hollywood look by whitening your teeth or disguise remaining flaws with veneers or tooth bonding.

Be sure to continue scheduling your cleaning and exam every six months to maintain that beautiful smile while enjoying the confidence that comes with your perfectly aligned teeth.

You'll love how your teeth look with our short-term orthodontics in Glendale. We offer payment options, including in-house financing, so you can afford your treatment without concern.
