Why is it important to see a professional for your orthodontic treatment? After all, you can get clear aligners mailed to you. That’s more convenient, right? It ought to save you money, too. But, as Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana will tell you, online or mail-order orthodontic appliances could end up costing you a lot in the long run. At New England Orthodontic Specialists, we bring our expertise to patients across five convenient locations: Beverly, Lynn, Salem, South Hamilton, and Topsfield. Professional orthodontists give you treatment, expertise, and experience. When you visit our offices, you get a whole team of educated practitioners who have personally served hundreds of patients.
Expertise and Training
Dr. Neil is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontists. “Board certification” isn’t just a marketing term. Roughly ⅓ of orthodontists are board-certified. Board certification requires years of continuing education, assessment, and testing beyond what’s typical of orthodontists. When you choose Dr. Neil, you’re choosing an orthodontic professional with next-level competence. As a Diamond Invisalign provider, Dr. Neil averages over 400 successful Invisalign applications per year. That’s a lot of renewed smiles!
Dr. Diana is also board-certified. Since we have two board-certified orthodontists in-house, you get twice the benefits. As a faculty member at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Diana taught and oversaw the development of future dentists and orthodontists. It’s one thing to know your field. It’s another thing to be able to teach others in your field.
What could treatment from orthodontic professionals like Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana do for you and your family?
Comprehensive Assessment
Board-certified orthodontic professionals like our team at New England Orthodontic Specialists will give you the comprehensive assessment you deserve. Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana use advanced diagnostic tools like X-rays, photographs, and digital scans. We need to gain a complete understanding of your bite. We can’t do our best for you unless we understand what you need.
During your free consultation, you’ll undergo a detailed examination. Our team will assess the alignment of your teeth and jaws. We’ll discover any bite issues you may have. Our thorough evaluation helps identify your best treatment options. We offer metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign clear aligners. Kids, teens, and adults (yes, you, too!) can benefit from any of these appliances.
Treatment Options: Braces and Clear Aligners
Choosing the right treatment is where a real orthodontic professional shines. Mail-order orthodontics just can’t compare. Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana offer you and your family a range of treatments to suit your needs and preferences.
Braces and clear aligners have come a long way in recent decades. As board-certified orthodontists, Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana stay on top of technological developments. If we see appliances that work better, safer, or help you complete treatment faster, we’ll investigate further.
Metal Braces
Most people think of metal braces when they hear “professional orthodontic treatment.” Our metal braces are made of stainless steel brackets and wires. We typically use them to tackle complex dental issues, such as severe crowding and misalignment. Metal braces are both durable and affordable. Despite their visibility, many of our patients appreciate their reliability and the consistent results they deliver.
Clear Braces
Clear, or “ceramic,” braces offer a more attractive alternative to conventional metal braces. They’re made from tooth-colored ceramic materials, and we design them to blend with your teeth. What’s the advantage for you? Most people probably won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Don’t think “clear” means “weak,” either. Ceramic braces work just as well as metal braces. They’re just as strong and robust as any metal brackets we’d use.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a more modern orthodontic treatment you’ll see in our five offices. Rather than wires and brackets, this system uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners themselves are just about invisible. If you don’t want friends, family, or coworkers to know about your treatment, Invisalign can help you. If you need to eat, you can take them out. When you’re finished, put them back in. Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana recommend that you need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily for best results.
Benefits of Professional Orthodontic Treatment
Opting for professional orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits beyond just a beautiful smile. At New England Orthodontic Specialists, Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana provide expert care that improves your oral health, improves the functionality of your bite, and helps invest in long-term results.
Improved Oral Health
Professional orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth in a way that online or mail-order appliances won’t. When your teeth are straighter, they’re easier to clean. Having cleaner teeth will reduce your risk of cavities and gum disease. Plus, proper alignment makes it easier for you to brush and floss each tooth. A cleaner mouth is a lot less likely to suffer from plaque buildup.
Enhanced Functionality
Orthodontic treatment makes your bite work better. If your teeth don’t line up correctly, your bite won’t be as strong as it should be. A professional orthodontist, like one at New England Orthodontic Specialists, will deal with issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Correcting these problems helps prevent wear and tear on your teeth. Additionally, it reduces strain on your jaw muscles and joints. You’ll probably notice that your jaw, neck, face, and head are more comfortable, too.
Long-Term Benefits
Investing in professional orthodontic treatment is more likely to give you lasting results. Getting aligners in the mail doesn’t invest in the future of your bite. When you seek treatment from Dr. Neil and Dr. Diana, you’re making a deposit in your orthodontic future. We have options that will not only get you a better smile. You’ll be able to keep it for longer.
