If you're an adult considering orthodontics for cosmetic reasons, Tooth straightening is a way to achieve a great smile in far less time than traditional braces. Many adults are choosing this solution as a way to speed up the process and avoid two or three years with braces. Accelerated orthodontics is effective in most cases where orthodontics is the recommended solution to correcting your front teeth for a terrific smile. Accelerated orthodontics should be discussed with your cosmetic dentist along with options such as porcelain veneers and tooth bonding.

Advantages of Tooth straightening;
The biggest advantage is the three to eight months it takes to have a great smile, versus one to three years with traditional braces. Your teeth are assisted in moving faster with little loss of either root or bone support as with previous methods.

Disadvantages of Tooth straightening;
 if crowding is an issue, your teeth will need to be altered and "slimmed down" to create the needed room. Accelerated orthodontics is relatively new and requires special training for the doctors. This may make it difficult to find a doctor who has been trained in accelerated orthodontics until the procedure becomes more common.
