Traditional Metal Braces

  • The Time-Tested Solution for Straightening Teeth
    Traditional metal braces are the most common and effective orthodontic treatment. They are ideal for patients of all ages, from children to adults, and are used to correct a wide range of dental issues, including crooked teeth, gaps, and bite misalignments.
  • Benefits:
    • Highly effective for correcting a variety of dental issues.
    • Suitable for all age groups.
    • Can correct complex orthodontic problems.
    • Durable and reliable.
  • How It Works: Metal braces use brackets attached to your teeth, connected by wires and elastic bands. The braces gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment over time.
  • Duration: Treatment typically lasts 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces)

  • A Discreet Option for Teeth Straightening
    Clear braces offer a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal braces. Made from clear or tooth-colored ceramic, these braces blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable.
  • Benefits:
    • Less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
    • Ideal for adults or teens who want a discreet option.
    • Effective for the same range of dental issues as metal braces.
  • How It Works: Like traditional braces, clear braces use brackets and wires to straighten teeth, but the materials used are more aesthetic, offering a subtle and attractive option.
  • Duration: Treatment time is similar to traditional braces, typically between 12 to 24 months.

Invisalign: Clear Aligners

  • The Invisible Alternative to Braces
    Invisalign is a revolutionary way to straighten your teeth without the use of metal braces. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position.
  • Benefits:
    • Virtually invisible, making them perfect for adults and teens.
    • Removable, so you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
    • Comfortable with no metal brackets or wires.
    • Fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments.
  • How It Works: Invisalign uses a series of custom clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. The aligners are replaced approximately every two weeks with a new set until your treatment is complete.
  • Duration: The treatment duration varies but typically takes between 12 to 18 months.

Lingual Braces

  • Braces on the Back of Your Teeth for Discreet Treatment
    Lingual braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but they are placed on the back of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. This option is ideal for individuals who need orthodontic treatment but prefer not to have visible braces.
  • Benefits:
    • Completely hidden from view, offering an aesthetically discreet option.
    • Suitable for complex cases that require traditional braces.
    • Effective for both teens and adults.
  • How It Works: Lingual braces work like traditional metal braces but are attached to the backside of your teeth. They gradually move your teeth into alignment over time.
  • Duration: Similar to traditional braces, the treatment lasts anywhere from 12 to 24 months.

Retainers: Maintain Your Beautiful Smile

  • Keep Your Smile Aligned After Treatment
    After your orthodontic treatment is complete, it’s crucial to wear a retainer to maintain the new position of your teeth. Retainers help prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions and ensure your smile stays beautiful for years to come.
  • Types of Retainers:
    • Fixed Retainers: A thin wire bonded to the back of your teeth, typically used for the lower teeth.
    • Removable Retainers: Clear, custom-made retainers that can be taken out for eating and cleaning.
  • Benefits: Retainers are a simple, non-invasive way to maintain your smile after orthodontic treatment and ensure the longevity of your results.

Orthodontic Treatment for Children

  • Start Early for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
    The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their
    first orthodontic consultation by the age of 7. Early evaluation allows our
    orthodontists to detect potential problems with tooth development and jaw alignment while the teeth and bones are still growing.
  • Benefits: Retainers are a simple, non-invasive way to maintain your smile after orthodontic treatment and ensure the longevity of your results.
