Why Straight Teeth Matter More Than You Think
Better Oral Health
Straight teeth are easier to clean effectively, which means less plaque buildup, fewer cavities, and healthier gums. When teeth overlap or crowd together, it's nearly impossible to reach all the bacteria hiding in those tight spaces.
Improved Function
Properly aligned teeth work together more efficiently when you bite and chew, reducing strain on your jaw muscles and potentially preventing TMJ problems. Your teeth will last longer when the forces are distributed evenly.
Enhanced Confidence
When you love your smile, it shows. Straight teeth often lead to improved self-esteem, better social interactions, and increased confidence in professional settings. You'll find yourself smiling more naturally and genuinely.
Long-Term Investment
Addressing alignment issues now can prevent more serious problems later, including uneven wear, jaw pain, and the need for more extensive dental work down the road.
Your Clear Option for Straight Teeth
Dr. Bacon has extensive experience in orthodontic treatments that work around your life, not the other way around. When you choose clear aligners, you get effective results without feeling like a teenager with a mouth full of metal.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign, Candid Pro, or similar): These custom-made clear trays gradually move your teeth into perfect alignment while being virtually invisible to everyone around you. You can remove them to eat, brush, and for special occasions—no food restrictions or awkward cleaning routines.
Why Choose Clear Options Over Metal Braces

Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without advertising it to everyone you meet. Perfect for professional environments or social situations.

Dr. Bacon understands that adults have different needs and concerns than teenagers. His treatment approach respects your lifestyle and professional image.
What Orthodontics Can Fix

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover adult orthodontics?
Many dental insurance plans do provide some coverage for orthodontics, even for adults. Our team will check your benefits and help you maximize whatever coverage you have.
Am I too old for orthodontics?
Not at all! Dr. Bacon treats plenty of adults who want straighter teeth. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, age isn't a barrier to getting the smile you want.
What happens when treatment is done?
You'll need to wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions. Dr. Bacon will explain exactly what type of retainer works best for your case and how often to wear it.
How do I keep everything clean?
Aligners get cleaned with lukewarm water and gentle soap.
Will orthodontics affect how I talk?
You might have a slight lisp for the first few days with aligners, but most people adjust quickly.
How often will I need appointments?
Most patients see Dr. Bacon every 6-8 weeks to check progress and get new aligners or adjustments. These visits are usually quick and fit easily into your schedule.
Can I still eat normally during treatment?
With aligners, you remove them to eat so there are no food restrictions at all.
How long will my treatment actually take?
Most cases take 12-18 months, but it really depends on how much your teeth need to move. Dr. Bacon will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation based on your specific situation.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
You'll feel some pressure when your teeth start moving, especially with new aligners or after adjustments, but it's manageable and usually goes away within a few days. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable modern orthodontics can be.
