High Tech Devices Can Speed Tooth Movement by Up to 50%
(Issued Spring 2020) — When you become engaged, here are a few decisions you can delay: seating chart, first dance song, menu.
“But there’s one thing you should act on now,” says Dr. Andrew Chase of ARCH Orthodontics: “Improving the condition and appearance of your teeth which will be on display throughout your entire wedding day and reflected in your photo album for generations to come.” Instead of regretting your smile later – or lack thereof – it’s possible to do something about it now, before the wedding. Since new couples are excited at the prospect of beginning a new, happy life together with new things to smile about, they should have beautiful new smiles, too.”
Dr. Chase invites engaged couples to come in for a complimentary initial consultation – preferably a year before the wedding. One advance planning option is invisible aligners such as Invisalign that gradually reposition teeth. Even if the regimen continues through the wedding day, they won’t show in photos. Invisalign treatment takes up to 18 months.
This month ARCH unveiled a ‘Wedding Smile Makeover Package’ * that promises to be “icing on the cake,” smiles Dr. Chase. The package may include:
- AcceleDent Now® — Uses micropulses that speed treatment in just 20 minutes of hands-free use per day, used in conjunction with braces and Invisalign. Tiny vibrations accelerate the bones surrounding teeth to speed up movement so treatment may be 50% shorter. “Many start AcceleDent just 6-8 months before their big day,” smiles Dr. Chase. Engaged couples get AcceleDent treatment at 20% off the usual cost.
- Carriere Motion™ (appliance, used inside the mouth), to correct similar issues that archaic headgears were traditionally used to resolve. This unique and incredibly easy to use appliance is usually used fr 3-6 months preceding Invisalign or braces to correct more serious bite issues which can shorten treatment time significantly so you can achieve the best result in the shortest amount of time.
- FREE teeth whitening for both the bride and groom (3 weeks before the wedding day) – even if only one of them gets treatment! *For the special package, treatment must start by May 15, 2020.
As soon as a wedding date is set, often the bride, groom, and members of the wedding party start to think about how they’ll look in wedding day pictures for years to come. Dr. Chase says, “An upcoming wedding motivates people to get the teeth and smile they may only have thought about for years. Crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth can detract from picture-perfect smiles. Orthodontics can reduce that anxiety.”
Dr. Chase estimates that ARCH, now in its 46th year with nine offices from Boston to Cape Cod, has improved smiles for 35,000 patients at its nine offices. Dr. Chase says,” We enjoy helping wedding parties to have dramatically beautiful wedding photos. The Wedding Smile Makeover Package is perfect: A perfect wedding, perfect mate – perfect smiles and perfect photos, too!” ARCH offers free initial consultation and interest-free financing.
