Braces

Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several different types of braces.

During the initial examination, we will be able to determine the best possible treatment for your individual needs. During this initial examination, we can outline the treatment plan, expected time of treatment and the approximate cost. Your options may include metal braces, white braces, or Invisalign (clear aligners).

Clear braces are a cosmetic option for those treatments that could not be accomplished with Invisalign or Clear Correct aligners. Clear braces offer a less-visible alternative to the more common metal braces. Because they blend in more with the natural color of teeth, they are frequently used by our adult patients. Clear braces may not be as strong as metal and may require a longer treatment time.

The ideal smile can be achieved by moving teeth with clear aligners. This method uses no metal brackets or wires. It allows the convenience of removing your aligner at any time. This is a favorite with our adult patients. These clear aligners can be removed for any special occasion. They allow for eating, brushing, and flossing as you always did before the treatment started.

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners that are custom-made for your teeth. Throughout your Invisalign treatment, you'll wear aligners in two-week increments. Each set of aligners you wear changes slightly throughout the process in order for your teeth to reach the final outcome: a beautiful smile.

Metal braces are a very effective way of achieving a wonderful smile. Frequently used with younger patients, metal braces allow for predictable results in challenging cases. This is the most affordable and inexpensive option.
