• Alternatives to Braces

  • For decades teenagers and adults have been making the trip to the orthodontist to have their teeth straightened with braces. At one point in time, braces were bulky, leading to name calling and other forms of childhood cruelty. Now, with new advancements, many orthodontic patients enjoy smaller, less noticeable braces. While this is wonderful news for teenagers, many adults still feel the stigmatism associated with braces.

    At Sensational Smiles, Dr. Huefner is able to apply advances in cosmetic dentistry to help patients in Mission Viejo find alternatives to braces. In the past, you would have to undergo the painful and frequently humiliating process of having your teeth straightened with braces, but now we can now straighten your teeth with noninvasive or minimally invasive techniques.
