Washington, D.C. orthodontist Dr. Sheldon Contract helps adult patients achieve their dream smile no matter their age

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/23/2016 -- Dr. Sheldon L. Contract, orthodontist in Washington, D.C., is helping adult patients who have always dreamed of having a straighter, more confident smile, finally get the look they desire using some of the latest orthodontic methods available in the industry. These new methods allow adults of practically any age to undergo orthodontic treatment discreetly so they can feel confident about their smiles even as they are working to improve them.

Traditionally, many adults tend to shy away from orthodontic treatment because they associate it with the "metal mouth" stigma that is common for youth or young adult patients who are undergoing orthodontic treatment with standard metal brackets and wires. While this standard method of braces is effective for straightening smiles, many adults do not want to alter their image in a way that could impact their social, professional, and personal lives. However, with some of the latest orthodontic methods, Dr. Contract offers at his Washington, D.C. orthodontic office, adult patients can straighten their smiles with appliances that are barely noticeable.

With the use of both clear braces and clear aligners, Dr. Contract provides comprehensive orthodontic treatment plans for adults with healthy teeth that do not negatively alter their social, professional, or personal image. These appliances are barely noticeable within speaking distance and are just as effective as metal braces at shifting teeth into proper alignment.

Clear braces have a similar design to traditional metal braces except for instead of metal brackets attached to the teeth, clear braces are made of ceramic, plastic, or a combination of both. These brackets are barely noticeable from a distance, and most only see a thin wire running through the brackets.

Clear aligners such as those from Invisalign are becoming one of the most popular orthodontic treatments for adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues who seek straighter smiles. These aligners are made of soft, clear plastic that fit over the teeth and are barely noticeable at speaking distance. The aligners are completely removable and offer adults more comfort, more lifestyle flexibility, little-to-no dietary restrictions, and allow for better oral hygiene during treatment.

Dr. Sheldon Contract in Washington, D.C. offers nearly four decades of experience to orthodontic patients

Washington, DC -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/08/2016 -- Dr. Sheldon L. Contract in Washington, D.C. is offering nearly four decades of expertise in the orthodontic field to local patients who dream of having straight, beautiful smiles. As one of the most experienced orthodontists in the Washington, D.C. area, Dr. Contract is uniquely qualified to treat patients of all ages, even those presenting the most complex cases.

Throughout his 38 years of experience as an orthodontist, Dr. Contract has treated tens of thousands of patients, helping them achieve a straight smile that they can feel confident about. His many years of experience in the field has exposed him to vast changes in technology and methods in the industry, and today he uses only the most proven techniques to give his patients effective, lasting results. Currently, Dr. Contract offers both traditional braces as well as Invisalign clear braces to give patients options for their orthodontic treatment depending on their unique situation.

Traditional braces that consist of brackets and metal wires are still the most effective orthodontic solution for correcting complex overcrowding, crooked, or spaced teeth. Dr. Contract offers braces to children, teen, and adult patients who struggle with these issues or who also need to correct bite issues. Dr. Contract realizes that many patients, particularly adults, are concerned about the aesthetics of traditional braces and the affect they can have on social and professional appearance, which is why he also offers less-visible clear braces to help patients feel confident about their smile during treatment.

Invisalign clear braces offer patients a near-invisible orthodontic treatment that is also removable and more flexible with their lifestyle. Invisalign treatment is ideal for Dr. Contract's patients with only mild to moderate orthodontic issues like crowding, gapping, or spacing. Invisalign patients are instructed to wear the aligners the majority of the day except for eating, brushing and flossing, and drinking anything other than water. The aligners can be removed for special occasions like meetings, presentations, reunions, photographs, etc.

Dr. Contract's office accepts most insurance plans and also offers both 0% financing plans as well as extended payment financing to make a straight, beautiful smile attainable for nearly any patient.
