There’s one detail that completes every look—and it isn’t found on a hanger or in a handbag. It’s your smile.
“A confident smile is effortless, timeless,” says Dr. Taylor Squires, a board-certified orthodontist and founder of Squires Orthodontics in Pittsford. “It’s often the detail people remember most.”
For many adults, subtle imperfections in their teeth can quietly undermine confidence, regardless of how put-together they appear. That’s where today’s orthodontic options come into play. As Dr. Squires explains, “Clear aligners offer a refined, discreet, and highly personalized approach. We can often make precise, aesthetic changes in as little as three to six months.”
One of his favorite success stories? A bride-to-be who walked into his office with just 12 weeks until her wedding. She hoped to align a few front teeth for her big day. “Using digital scans and a focused clear aligner plan, we created a subtle transformation that was comfortable, efficient, and perfectly timed,” he recalls. “No impressions, no braces—just a natural, confident smile for her most photographed moment.”
Using a tailored approach is foundational in his practice. “Every treatment is designed around your specific goals and schedule."
Adults don't need a full-mouth overhaul to achieve results. He encourages those who have been hesitant about orthodontic treatment to reconsider. “People are surprised. It’s no longer an all-or-nothing approach. We can make meaningful improvements that fit seamlessly into your life.”
Ultimately, no accessory rivals the power of a genuine smile. “When your smile feels aligned with your personal style, it shows. That kind of confidence is always in fashion."
Who Should Consider Clear Aligners?
- Misalignment: “Gaps, crowding, or rotated front teeth can often be corrected without braces.”
- Time-sensitivity: “If you have an event coming up, we can create a focused plan with fast results.”
- Subtle treatment: “If you want an esthetic solution that won’t interrupt your look or lifestyle, clear aligners are ideal.”
