Summary of this video by Dr. Kevin Hayes:
In this video, Dr. Kevin Hayes explains the options available for patients who want a straighter smile. He shares that many people come in with crowded or crooked teeth. For these cases, clear aligners can gradually shift teeth into better alignment. For those looking for faster results, Dr. Hayes also discusses an alternative approach: using cosmetic treatments like crowns and veneers to achieve a straighter-looking smile more quickly, a method he refers to as “instant orthodontics.”
You Deserve To Feel Great Every Time You Smile
Your journey to a straighter and more confident smile begins right here in Cookeville, TN. At Hayes Family Dentistry, we understand that a straight smile isn’t just about aesthetics: it’s about regaining confidence and feeling great every time you smile. Dr. Kevin Hayes notes that many of our patients come to us with concerns about their crooked teeth and limited space in their mouths. Fortunately, the path to a straighter smile doesn’t have to be complicated or lengthy.
Understanding Your Options for a Straighter Smile
When considering straightening treatments, most people envision traditional metal braces. While effective, they aren’t the only option. At Hayes Family Dentistry, we offer several alternatives that cater to varying needs and lifestyles.
Clear Aligners – A Modern Solution
Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics by offering a virtually invisible solution. Custom-made for each patient, these aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Dr. Kevin Hayes says, “We can use clear aligners to move your teeth and put them into a straight location” without the noticeable metal brackets. One of Hayes’ patients shares, “I’m 36 and still have so much anxiety going to the dentist. The clear aligners made me feel less self-conscious and were surprisingly comfortable.”
Veneers and Crowns – Instant Transformations
For those who prefer quicker results, Dr. Kevin Hayes suggests what he calls “instant orthodontics, but you do that with a more traditional cosmetic industry using crowns
and veneers.” This process involves reshaping your teeth to create a straight appearance. It can be particularly beneficial for those seeking immediate improvements. As one patient put it, “My smile is now perfect thanks to Dr. Hayes… Everyone here is so considerate, and they answer any questions I have.”
