Traditional Braces
Traditional fixed braces are a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. They consist of metal brackets and wires that are adjusted periodically to move your teeth into the desired positions.
Benefits of Traditional Braces
Effective for severe misalignment, overcrowding, and bite issues.
Provides precise control for optimal tooth alignment.
Made from durable materials for daily wear and tear.
Works continuously to gently move teeth into the correct positions.
Types Of Braces We Offer
Metal Braces
Durable and effective, suitable for both children and adults.
Ceramic Braces
Less noticeable than metal braces, these blend with the natural color of your teeth.
During your first visit, we will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and jaw using digital x-rays and 3D imaging. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Placement
In your first appointment, we will bond metal brackets to the front of your teeth with a special adhesive. Then, we will connect the brackets with an archwire to gently guide your teeth into alignment.
Completion and Retention
Once your teeth are properly aligned, we will remove the braces and provide you with a retainer. Wearing the retainer as instructed is crucial to keep your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign offers a clear and removable alternative to traditional braces. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and are ideal for those seeking a more discreet treatment option.
Benefits of Invisalign
Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them a great option for adults and teens who want a discreet treatment.
Removable: You can easily remove the aligners for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
Comfortable: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
We will take digital scans of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan. This ensures a precise fit for your aligners and helps us map out the movements your teeth need to make.
Receiving and Wearing Aligners
You will receive a series of custom aligners designed to gradually move your teeth. Each set is worn for about two weeks, and you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Every few weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners. Each new set will continue to move your teeth closer to the desired final position.
