Traditional Braces

Traditional metal bracket and wire braces have been relied on for decades and remain the most frequently used form of orthodontic treatment. Depending on the extent of your misalignment, braces may be worn for two or more years. During this time, you need to visit our dental office regularly to have brackets and wires adjusted to ensure treatment progresses according to plan. Our dental office uses high quality, low profile materials for optimal comfort minimizing irritation and soft tissue damage. We recommend children receive an orthodontic screening around the age of seven or eight, so our team can recommend early orthodontic intervention or start planning for future treatment.

Tooth-Colored Braces

Ceramic braces function essentially as traditional metal braces do, but rather than being made of metal, they are constructed from clear or tooth colored ceramic brackets and wires. Depending on your goals, treatment can take several years, but we can also talk about a more cosmetic approach that aligns only the visible teeth. This solution is great for image-conscious adults and teens.

Invisalign

Quickly becoming one of the most popular orthodontic options, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, plastic alignment trays to gradually shift teeth to their ideal position. Like traditional braces, Invisalign relies on consistent pressure to gently move the bite into alignment. Unlike traditional wire and bracket braces, alignment trays can be removed in order to allow you to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine and continue eating your favorite foods. You can even remove their aligners for photos or special events meaning your professional image remains polished while your oral health improves.

Oral Appliances

One part of orthodontic treatment that many patients aren’t as familiar with is oral appliances like retainers, expanders, and cribs. These appliances are custom crafted to assist you in your alignment and development goals. Some of the most commonly used orthodontic appliances are retainers. Many patients need to wear these throughout their orthodontic treatment, and often, retainers are needed to ensure that you maintain your results after treatment.

Expanders are used to reduce crowding so teeth are easier to shift into position. Cribs are used to help patients avoid bad habits that cause dental alignment issues. Tongue cribs redirect tongues that press against teeth when patients chew, swallow, or speak, and thumb cribs are an appliance used to break children of thumb sucking habits.
