Forget the traditional braces! Try Invisalign® or Powerprox Six Month Braces®!

When it comes to straightening your teeth, you are no longer limited to traditional metal braces which can take an average of 2 years to complete.

At Noa Dental, we offer both Invisalign® and Powerprox Six Month Braces® for those who want to straighten their teeth faster and/or inconspicuously via invisible braces.

Powerprox Six Month Braces® employs new techniques which results in reduction of time it will take to achieve successful results. The nickel titanium arch-wire that is leveraged retains the shape that is defined as an end-state. The arch-wire is then placed on the misaligned teeth. The arch-wire will want to go back to the initial shape thus moving the teeth along the way. This results in a low-force application that will safely and comfortably move the teeth in contrast to the high-force exerted by the traditional “tightening” of the braces.  In addition, the Powerprox Six Month Braces® utilizes clear brackets with white arch-wire versus the metal brackets and metal wires used by the traditional braces. The clear braces blend with your teeth making them nearly invisible. We can also use lingual braces which are placed behind your teeth so no one can see them.

So, with this innovative technique, your teeth can be realigned in about six months. Some misaligned cases that are minor in severity can be completed even as little as three to four months while some severe cases may require up to 9 months. As everyone’s case is different, the feasibility and better estimation can only be determined with an in-person consultation. 

Invisalign®, a clear alternative to braces, straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.  Invisalign® transforms your smile without disrupting your life, something that over 3 million people worldwide have already discovered.

If you have been thinking about getting braces, we are currently offering free consultations and a special discount of $600 off for a new Powerprox Six Month Braces® or Invisalign® orthodontic treatment.

Our office is conveniently located at 23922 Summerhill Lane in the heart of Valencia. Please call 661-857-7662 to schedule a free consultation or visit our website at http://ww.noadental.net for more information.

1-Week Esthetic Makeover at NOA Dental - Valencia Dentist

We all desire the ability to smile with confidence. Perhaps you have a gap in your front teeth. Perhaps your teeth are chipped, crooked or uneven sized. You thought about braces but they take too long and you just don’t have enough information about other ways that may be faster.

Enter dental porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are very thin porcelain that is placed over the tooth/teeth to produce desired shape, size, and color that will transform your smile.

Porcelain Veneer Before and After

Several benefits of dental porcelain veneers are as follows:

• Facelift for your teeth: Color, shape, size, and alignment of the teeth can be changed
• Fast transformation: One week turnaround
• Long lasting as long as you maintain them with good hygiene
• Permanent teeth whitening: Select the shade you like which will be permanent. No more teeth whitening for your teeth that have veneers on.

What’s the process?

• Come in for a free consultation during which the doctor will evaluate your teeth and discuss possible treatment options. If veneers are appropriate, then the doctor will remove a very thin layer (less than 0.5mm) of your tooth’s outer enamel to gain space for the veneer. An impression will be made and the shade will be selected. (We recommend getting the whitening done prior to selecting the shade as the chosen shade for the veneers will be permanent)
• The doctor will make a temporary veneer and place it on your tooth to wear while the new veneer gets fabricated
• When the veneers are ready (in about a week), you will come in to the office for the doctor remove the temporary veneer and place the new one using permanent dental bonding system

Who are good candidates for veneers?  If your condition is not listed here, please call for a free consultation and we can assess the viability for veneers then:

• Misaligned, uneven, crooked teeth
• Fractured, chipped, cracked teeth
• Gaps and spaces between teeth
• Too big or too small teeth
• Discolored and stained teeth with tetracycline or fluorosis

What are potential downsides of veneers?

• Once placed, veneers can’t be reshaped (they will have to be replaced entirely)
• Because enamel has been removed, your tooth may become more sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages
• Though not likely, veneers can fall off. To minimize the chances, refrain from biting on nails, ice, or other hard objects putting excessive pressure on your teeth

Can Teeth Really Re-Align in Six Months?

All of us want a beautiful smile with straight pearly whites but some of us are less fortunate in having straight teeth naturally. And many of those folks who have considered getting braces are discouraged because the traditional braces treatment time is around two-plus years in average.

Today, I would like to introduce you to the latest technology called Powerprox Six Months Braces that will move your teeth quickly and safely in about six months or so.
Powerprox employs new techniques which results in reduction of time it will take to achieve successful results. The nickle titanium arch-wire that is leveraged retains the shape that is defined to an end-state. The arch-wire is then placed on the misaligned teeth. The arch-wire will want to go back to the initial shape thus moving the teeth. This results in low-force application that will safely and comfortably move the teeth compared to the high-force exerted by traditional “tightening” of the braces.
In addition, the Powerprox Six Month Braces utilize clear brackets with white arch-wire versus the metal brackets and metal wires used by the traditional braces. The clear braces blend with your teeth making them nearly invisible. We can also use lingual braces which are placed behind your teeth so no one can see them.
So, with this innovative technique, your teeth can be realigned in about six months. Some misaligned cases that are minor in severity can be completed even as little as three to four months, while some severe cases may require up to 9 months. As everyone’s case is different, the feasibility and the more accurate duration can only be determined with an in-person consultation.  If deemed feasible, first bracket placement appointment will last around one and a half hours to two hours after which will be every four weeks with each appointment being 15 to 20 minutes long.
