Why Choose Beam Dental

Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Fort Lee, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.

Braces and other orthodontic treatments are not just for children. If you are looking to straighten your teeth or address issues like an overbite, our Fort Lee office offers several modern solutions tailored for adults. While many people view adult orthodontics as a cosmetic choice, these treatments also provide significant health benefits. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, which can lower your risk of cavities, reduce jaw pain, and help prevent future tooth injuries.

At Beam Dental, we understand that our adult patients often prioritize discretion. Depending on your specific goals and dental concerns, your orthodontist may recommend one of the following options:

  • Invisalign®: These are custom-made, clear, and removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. They are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for those who prefer to keep their treatment private. +1
  • Ceramic Braces: These use tooth-colored brackets and wires, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal options.
  • Metal Braces: Traditional braces remain a highly effective option and are now designed with smaller, more comfortable brackets than in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do braces affect sports and school activities?

Braces generally do not interfere with a teenager's ability to play sports or participate in school activities. For those in contact sports, we often recommend using orthodontic wax or a mouthguard to protect the cheeks and lips from irritation.

Do braces hurt?

The simple answer is "not really," as any minor discomfort typically dissipates quickly. Patients generally adjust to the feeling of their braces or aligners within a short period.

Can teens get Invisalign?

Yes, if deemed appropriate by an orthodontist, Invisalign Teen is available. It is important to remember that these trays must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day to be effective; if a teen cannot commit to this, traditional braces may be a better fit.

What orthodontic options are best for my teen?

The ideal choice depends on the specific dental issues, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences. For example, a teen who wants a discreet look may prefer clear aligners, while traditional braces might be better for more complex structural corrections.
