At Chesterfield Dentist, we provide clear braces throughout the Chester area. Straight teeth are important for your overall oral health. When teeth are crooked, they can become stained and infected more easily. By straightening teeth, we can improve your appearance and decrease the risk of getting cavities at the same time. We can also address issues that you may have with your jaw by aligning your bite. Clear braces are truly a comprehensive way and discreet way to address oral health concerns.

We understand that while many people want to have straighter teeth, many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the traditional metal braces on their teeth for more than one year. While they are not as discreet as people wish, metal braces are an effective tool for straightening teeth. The procedure works by placing a metal bracket onto the surface of each tooth and running a wire through those brackets. It is impossible not to notice when someone is wearing traditional metal braces. While the treatment works, it can also negatively impact a persons' appearance while doing so. This has led many people to seek out a better option, one that we provide.

At Chesterfield Dentist, we offer clear alternatives for adults and teens the greater Chester area. We can straighten teeth and move them into the perfect position so the patient has a beautiful and radiant straight smile. If you have crooked teeth, unsightly gaps between your teeth or a misaligned bite, then we can help to correct these issues and more. Clear braces work just as effectively as metal braces but with some major improvements. Clear braces are much more difficult to notice, making them ideal for busy professionals, teens and those that do not want to negatively impact their current appearance during the process.

There are several types of clear and barely visible options to choose. One operates similarly to traditional metal braces where we place a bracket onto each tooth and thread a wire between the brackets. The difference is that instead of being made out of metal, the brackets for clear braces consists of a tooth-colored resin that blends in with the natural tooth. The wire is also tooth-colored so that the braces themselves are almost invisible and difficult to see. We find that this solution works well for teens and adults that are able to practice proper dental hygiene with the clear braces. Otherwise, food can stain the brackets. This solution is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and is just as effective at addressing all oral health concerns.

Clear braces also come in the form of aligners. Clear aligners look like a full retainer that surrounds the teeth and are worn on the upper and lower teeth. Aligners are more convenient to wear than metal braces since patients can remove them when necessary. One of the major concerns that people have with wearing braces is that they do not come off until the treatment is complete. If, for example, you get braces then decide to get married, you will either have braces in your wedding pictures or need to pay to remove them and reinstall them after. Simultaneously, if you have a big presentation at work and want to impress a client, your braces cannot come off for the meeting. This leaves many adults apprehensive about committing to a two-year treatment plan. We understand that appearance is important for more than vanity. It impacts your ability to create a professional image and retain your own self-image. As a Chester provider of clear braces and aligners, we make it so that you do not have to compromise your appearance or lifestyle while straightening teeth; aligners are a key component of that.

We treat both teens and adults and understand that both can benefit from similar treatment options. While children may not be able to wear clear braces, teens can wear clear braces if they take proper care of them. The main difference between clear braces for teens and adult braces, is that teens may need to use their aligners for a longer period of time. With such a busy schedule, we expect teens to remove their aligners more frequently to do things like play sports.

In recent years, wearing clear braces has become a more common way to treat misaligned teeth. Traditional metal braces are no longer the only way to correct these and other orthodontic issues. There are advantages to using clear alternatives, so you should talk to your dentist about whether this method makes the most sense. People

Clear braces provide a more discreet way to straighten teeth than metal braces. Clear braces are very similar to conventional metal braces, but instead of being made up of metal wires and brackets, tooth-colored brackets and transparent wires are used instead.As a result, the patient gets a fixed appliance that is hardly visible in their

For those who may be self-conscious about misaligned or crooked teeth, the Invisalign gradual aligner tray system can be a good alternative to wearing braces. The aligners work well for people who do not want to wear the more obvious metal braces or who want the flexibility to remove them for brief periods. Learning more

A lot of people have begun to consider Invisalign as a method for straightening their teeth. The benefits that come along with Invisalign have grown in success and they can provide a person with straighter teeth through a discreet and simple method.While dentists offices have always offered traditional braces as a method of treatment, many

I am always so very nervous when going to the dentist but my experience with Dr. Beam and his assistant Cindy was outstanding. He assured me I would be ok and to trust him and he was completely right. The novacaine injection was completely painless. I was so thankful and grateful to receive his office as a recommendation as a new patient. He was very concerned about my comfort level and continually checked to see if I was still ok or needed a break. Thank you so much Dr. Beam for excellent customer service.

Went there for almost 10 years. Billing department is the worst I've seen. I don't believe they are dishonest just incompetent. Always had to wait for a scheduled appointment. 20 min minimum.

As always, my visit was great. This team works so well together and takes excellent care of my teeth and gums. I've been a patient since 1991, right after we moved here and I would not go anywhere else as long as we live here. Dr. Beam knows what he's doing and so does his staff. I see Carol and have been for years. I give them an A+ on everything!

BEST DENTIST IN THE HISTORY OF FOREVER! I am terrified of the dentist; to say I get anxious over the thought of seeing one is an understatement, however, Dr. Beam was so kind and gentle that he actually had me laughing during my procedure. The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, and they have always gone above and beyond to make sure their patients are comfortable and well taken care of.
