PITTSFORD, NY, April 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) In the Rochester NY area, residents who want straight teeth and a fuller, more beautiful smile without the awkward look and discomfort of traditional braces no longer have to settle for metal brackets or clear aligners. Get-It-Straight Orthodontics with three locations in Pittsford NY, Rochester NY, and Macedon NY in Gananda, is now offering DAMON CLEAR, a virtually invisible braces system that delivers fast, comfortable treatment without the "metal mouth" look to accommodate today's image-conscious adults and teens.
Traditional braces require elastic ties to hold wires in place, which can accumulate bacteria, stain or "yellow" during treatment and often require uncomfortable "tightening" that can actually hinder tooth movement and prolong treatment. In contrast, DAMON CLEAR braces resist staining with the innovative DAMON SYSTEM of "tieless" brackets and high-tech memory-shaped wires that eliminate the need for uncomfortable periodic "tightening." With Damon, the wires move freely within the brackets for better oral hygiene and appearance, as well as fast, comfortable tooth movement. Studies have shown that treatment time is reduced by an average of 6 months compared to traditional braces.
"The DAMON system allows us to treat patients faster and more comfortably than ever before," said Dr. Terry Giangreco of Get-It-Straight Orthodontics. "Our patients appreciate the convenience and discreet appearance of the DAMON CLEAR system, and we can create beautiful smiles with better facial results compared to traditional braces. Our patients receive the benefit of working with one of the top five Damon practices in the country. We offer a team approach to orthodontic care. Our 4 doctors have a combined 80 years of Orthodontic experience. We know that we can deliver what our patients have come to expect - the best orthodontic care possible."
The DAMON SYSTEM uses light, continuous force wires with tieless brackets. The gentle pressure exerted by the DAMON SYSTEM discourages the need for tooth extractions, headgear and palate expanders in the vast majority of cases.
"DAMON CLEAR braces give us an opportunity to provide what teenagers and adults truly desire - an aesthetic option of virtually invisible braces with outstanding results," said Dr. Janis Preston of Get-It-Straight Orthodontics. "The percentage of adults seeking orthodontic care has risen to over 30 percent because of treatment options like DAMON CLEAR."
"The DAMON SYSTEM is one of the most innovative orthodontic systems on the market and it's already been used to treat more than 3 million cases around the world," said Dr. Suzanne Cassata with of Get-It-Straight. "We're very pleased to bring this high-tech system to our patients in the Rochester area."
Dr. Giangreco is a graduate of Northwestern University Dental School and has been practicing orthodontics for 15 years. Dr. Preston is a graduate of Howard University Dental School and joined Get-It-Straight in 2005. Dr. Cassata graduated from Eastman Dental Center and has been in practice for 20 years. Dr. J. Ronald Cortese, a graduate of Columbia University, established the practice in 1971 and still continues his passion for orthodontics. Their offices are located at:
750 Pittsford-Victor Road in Pittsford, New York - 14534 phone 585-248-5100
