  • Smile Touch-Up; Minor Fixes, Major Benefits

    By admin 02/24/2021

    Many of the parents in my practice had braces in the past (but didn’t wear a retainer) and lost the straight smile they once had. Many other adults have simply never been happy with their smile. Maybe you’ve never considered orthodontics as an adult because you can’t imagine wearing metal braces to client meetings; maybe it’s because it’s a big time and financial commitment to undergo years of braces as an adult. 

     

    Whichever boat you fall into, we have good news! My team and I don’t want any roadblocks in the way of you having a beautiful smile… or having it back again. 

     

    That’s why we’re offering Smile Touch-Up to the adults of our community where my team and I will address only the elements of your smile that are most important to you. That means shorter treatment times and reduced fees. 

     

    Our practice, Eckels Orthodontics, is a Diamond+ Invisalign provider. That means we’re in the top echelon of Invisalign providers in the country with tons of experience…and it means that your treatment will be virtually undetectable.

     

    People won’t notice you’re wearing them

    Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth. And, unlike traditional braces that you might have had as a kid, Invisalign aligners are removable. You take them out briefly when you eat or brush your teeth – that means no food caught between brackets; no flashbacks to the middle school cafeteria for you. Most of the time your aligners will stay in so they can do the work of moving your teeth. The good thing is that they are virtually invisible so people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

     

    While we do offer full orthodontic treatment for adults at our practice, we find that many just don’t want to make that commitment. Whether it’s financial or time restraints, our Smile Touch-Up is a great option. 

     

    Together we will figure out which elements of your smile are most important to you. We’ll agree on a course of treatment to fix only those areas, and we’ll set an estimated timeline. Because of the limited nature of the adjustments we are able to improve your smile in a much shorter timeframe than for those looking for full orthodontic treatment. 

     

    You’re not alone

    Adults are getting braces more than ever before. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) says that adults are getting orthodontic treatment in record numbers, and not all of them for the first time either. Not only that, patients are reporting that after treatment they feel better about themselves and their social lives. Most would recommend seeking out treatment for other adults. Major benefits! 

     

    See an Expert

    There are many services out there claiming they can mail you aligners and fix your teeth. We strongly believe that even the smallest changes to your mouth should be done under the in-person care of a trained and certified orthodontist, and the AAO agrees. Dr. Scott Eckels has extensive schooling in both dentistry and orthodontics as well as specific training in treatment with Invisalign. In fact, Eckels Orthodontics is the only office in the area to have the distinction of being an Invisalign Diamond Provider! 

     

    Make sure you know who it is that is making changes in your mouth. What looks like a small fix could domino into major issues without a trained orthodontist looking at the full picture. 

     

    No Obstacles

    At Eckels Orthodontics we have treated thousands of teens and adults with Invisalign. We know what we’re doing and we’ve treated cases that are both difficult (Full Treatment) and simpler (Smile Touch-Up). Our team strives for clinical excellence in a friendly and welcoming environment. We appreciate that you have a busy schedule and will make sure you to have you in and out as quickly as possible – time is important to us! Speaking of time, most of our Smile Touch-Up can be scheduled virtually via our Remote Monitoring technology! That means closer observation by Dr. Eckels without the hassle of heading into the office. 

     

    We also won’t let finances stand in your way. Amazing Smiles, Amazingly Affordable – our Smile Touch-Up treatment starts as low as $2,715 and we offer minimum payments of $99/mo.
