Smile More! Orthodontics with Dr. Bob Perkins
Clear Braces and Six Month Smiles in Malibu and Simi Valley
Orthodontics – the science of repositioning teeth – has helped countless Americans enjoy confident, healthy smiles. With orthodontics, Dr. Bob Perkins can not only create gorgeous smiles, he can also re-align the jaws, ensure proper development for children, and reduce the risk of TMJ dysfunction. Orthodontics may just be what you or your child needs to smile more – and enjoy smiling!
Why Braces?
One of the most underrated aspects of dentistry involves proper alignment of the jaws. If you or your child suffers from a protruding or sloping jaw, the problem will not correct itself. Orthodontics can reposition the jaws to create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, as well as reduce the potential for long-term pain and discomfort. A misaligned jaw can lead to:
- Crowded teeth and bite misalignments
- TMJ dysfunction
- Chronic headaches and facial pain
- Irregular facial development
- Oxygen deprivation
- Sleep apnea and snoring
- Teeth clenching and grinding
Dr. Perkins recognizes these symptoms, and as a general dentist in Malibu, he can provide the correct treatment for you or your child. Realigning the jaws can eliminate pain, improve your self-image, and take your quality of life to new heights.
Low-Profile Orthodontics
You’re an adult interested in all the benefits of braces, but you don’t like the idea of sporting metal in your mouth. No problem! Dr. Perkins is pleased to introduce two revolutionary orthodontic treatments: Six Month Smiles and Invisalign Clear Braces. With these treatments, adults can achieve the results they desire without sacrificing their mature image.
Malibu’s Six Month Smiles Dentist
Do crooked teeth prevent you from smiling in pictures, laughing out loud, and showing your true feelings? With Six Month Smiles, Dr. Perkins can change your how the world perceives you – in just six months! This groundbreaking treatment was recently developed to address the cosmetic aspect of orthodontics – moving only the teeth that show when you smile. Tooth-colored wires and clear brackets minimize the visibility of these braces, so your life doesn’t have to stop while you’re straightening your teeth. Because only the teeth that show when you smile are affected, treatment can be completed faster than ever.
Malibu’s Invisalign Dentist
Finally, a clear alternative to metal braces. Invisalign has quickly become the nation’s leading provider of clear, removable orthodontia for Americans nation-wide. Dr. Perkins is pleased to offer this technology to his Malibu and Simi Valley patients. It involves custom aligners created based on impressions taken of your teeth. The aligners gradually move the teeth while you wear them, and you retain the freedom to remove them for eating, brushing, and special occasions. Invisalign has proven life-changing for adults wearing braces for the first time, as well as those who wore braces in their youth.
