“How Much Do Braces Cost?”

nov041It is never too late to perfect your smile, and straight teeth can improve an adult’s social and professional life. Still, many adults are apprehensive when making a decision to undergo an orthodontic procedure. Because of this, Dr. David Alpan seeks to address your concerns and questions regarding braces.

Aren’t I too old for braces?

What You Should Know About Invisalign Braces in Beverly Hills

pretty-smiling-lady-300x231Older teen and adult patients who exhibit malocclusion are often motivated to seek treatment by the visual effects of crooked teeth. When one or more teeth aren’t aligned properly, a patient’s entire smile can seem odd and off-balanced. Unfortunately, some patients decide to neglect orthodontic treatment due to the metal brackets and wires that many of them believe are inevitable. Your Beverly Hills orthodontist, Dr. David Alpan, offers a wide variety of discreet orthodontic options for image-conscious patients, including Invisalign clear braces, which don’t require brackets and wires at all.

About Invisalign Clear Braces

The aligners are changed every couple of weeks, and each new aligner moves teeth closer to their goals than the previous one. By utilizing plastic aligners instead of metal components bonded to teeth, clear braces provide the utmost discretion and convenience.
