Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most durable, reliable, and affordable solution for misaligned teeth and bite problems. A specially bent wire places constant pressure on the teeth that slowly moves them into their proper positions. A series of brackets, which are attached to the teeth, hold the wire in place. The braces of today are quite different from the ones you might have seen as a child — they are smaller and much subtler, making them a good option even for adults who want to maintain a professional appearance.

Clear/Ceramic Braces

For individuals who are particularly image-conscious, clear/ceramic braces may be the best choice. They work using the same trusted method as metal braces, but they have a very discreet appearance. Clear brackets hold tooth-colored wires in place. Since the braces blend in so well with the teeth, they allow a patient to keep smiling with confidence throughout their treatment journey.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Would you like to straighten your teeth but cannot bear the thought of having a mouth full of brackets and wires? Invisalign® may be perfect for you. With Invisalign®, you simply have to wear a series of thin, clear plastic aligners that fit snugly but easily over the teeth. Each one applies gentle pressure to the teeth and brings them a little closer to their ideal positions. Whenever you need to eat or brush, you can simply take Invisalign® off until you are finished.
