Case Study: Dr. Makadia Helps Patients Straighten Teeth without Braces

December 14, 2021

Many people, particularly mature adults, cringe at the idea of getting metal braces put on their teeth. Here at Sunrise Dental Service, Dr. Makadia and our team completely understand that. We strive to help patients avoid the hassles of being a “metal mouth” while still enabling them to reap the benefits of orthodontic treatment. In this blog post, you’ll read the story of one woman who achieved a healthier, more beautiful smile thanks to Dr. Makadia and SureSmile clear aligners.

The Case

The patient presented to Dr. Makadia with significantly misaligned teeth. Due to their crookedness, she found it difficult to keep them clean, and she was experiencing a number of other dental concerns. She had personally seen some of the benefits of clear aligners when her daughter-in-law got them. Now, she was ready to experience the treatment for herself.

After Dr. Makadia examined her teeth and determined that she was a good candidate for clear aligners, he worked with the SureSmile company to plan out her entire treatment. His unique, thoughtful review of each step of her case made sure that her clear aligners process would go as smoothly as possible. He is always careful to ensure that patients’ aesthetic outcomes complement their natural facial characteristics while providing them with optimal function.

How did the case turn out? As you can see in the above picture, the woman experienced outstanding results. Her recently straightened teeth are much easier to keep clean, meaning that she can now enjoy a healthier and more confident smile. She didn’t have to undergo any other cosmetic treatments in order to achieve the results you see.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

If your teeth are not well aligned, you may not need braces to correct their positioning. We invite you to consult with Dr. Makadia and our team about clear aligners. If you move forward with them, you can expect personalized, attentive care during every stage of your treatment. Here are some of the other benefits you will enjoy:

  • Removable aligners allow you to continue eating all of your favorite foods.
  • Easy oral hygiene is possible because there are no brackets and wires bonded onto the teeth.
  • No metal parts means that your cheeks and tongue are less likely to experience irritation. The custom-made aligners are designed to be as comfortable as possible.
  • The clear nature of the aligners enables you to smile with confidence throughout your entire treatment period. Although they are not totally invisible, they are incredibly discreet.
