Straightening Smiles in Manchester & Windsor, CT

For most patients, straight teeth equal a beautiful smile. But did you know that a properly aligned bite is also healthier? Overlapped, crooked, or rotated teeth create a daily cleaning challenge. Food and bacterial plaque accumulate slowly in the tiny spaces that your toothbrush and floss can't reach. For this reason, at Signature Smiles, we place emphasis on a properly aligned, healthy smile for all of our patients

What Are Popular Orthodontic Treatments?

Orthodontic treatments can address a wide variety of dental problems. Some of the most popular treatments include:

Braces: Braces are the most common orthodontic treatment. They use metal brackets and wires to gradually straighten teeth over time.

Invisalign®: Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to straighten teeth.

Retainers: Retainers are used to maintain the results of orthodontic treatment after braces are removed.

Headgear: Headgear is sometimes used in conjunction with braces to help correct severe dental problems.

What Are the Benefits of Orthodontics?

There are many benefits of orthodontic treatment, including:

Improved oral health: Orthodontic treatment can improve your oral health by correcting problems that can make brushing and flossing difficult. This can reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Improved appearance: Orthodontic treatment can give you a straighter, more symmetrical smile. This can boost your confidence and self-esteem.

Improved function: Orthodontic treatment can correct problems with your bite, making it easier to chew and speak.

Improved self-esteem: Orthodontic treatment can improve your appearance, which can in turn boost your self-esteem and confidence.

Improved oral health: Orthodontic treatment can improve your oral health by correcting problems that can make brushing and flossing difficult. This can reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease.

Reduced risk of injury: Orthodontic treatment can correct problems that could cause you to bite your tongue or lip, or injure your cheeks or gums. 

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

The first step in orthodontic treatment is to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. During the consultation, the orthodontist will examine your teeth and mouth, take X-rays, and ask about your medical history. The orthodontist will then develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs.


If you and the orthodontist decide Invisalign® is right for you, the next step is to take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create custom-made aligners. Once that is complete, you can expect to receive a set of aligners every 1-2 weeks. Each aligner must be worn for 22 hours a day with the exception of during meals.
