Conventional Braces

Traditional braces are the most common orthodontic appliance we offer for correcting your teeth alignment issues. Conventional braces have become smaller and more efficient over time, allowing you many more choices than you may be aware of. We will review the different types of brackets available for you.

Brackets are bonded to your tooth with an orthodontic adhesive. Molar brackets can be molded to the tooth or attached by a band fitted to the specific anatomy of the tooth. The brackets are connected to each by an arch wire held in place by O-rings or spring clips.

Clear Braces

Clear braces are made from a patented sapphire material that makes them virtually invisible. They take the attention away from your teeth and they won't stain or discolor over time so the focus won't be on what's on your teeth.

Clear braces also are made with a patented smoothing process for the best comfort available. Recent surveys show that 96 percent of patients prefer clear braces over conventional braces. Visit us today and we can show you the difference clear braces can make for your teeth alignment issues.

Incognito Braces

Incognito hidden braces are the latest in orthodontic options for our patients. These braces hide behind your teeth and are custom-made to fit only you. With Incognito braces, no one will know you're wearing braces (unless you tell them).

Incognito uses digital technology to engineer brackets and wires that deliver precise results for your teeth. We start by taking an impression of your teeth and sending that to the 3M lab to create models of your mouth to determine the desired result for your teeth.

Over 100,000 patients have improved their teeth with Incognito braces. Talk to us today about how Incognito braces can straighten your smile!

Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign has been the choice for patients who want to straighten their teeth without braces. Invisalign's clear aligners are virtually invisible so you can feel confident about your smile. These are a popular option for our adult patients.

By putting on new aligners every two weeks, your teeth will move incrementally into the proper position. In most cases, it takes about a year on average to achieve the targeted alignment for your smile.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made for you and they are comfortable to wear. You can remove your aligners whenever you want for your favorite activities. You can also eat all your favorite food without any problems. Brushing and flossing are just as easy.

Invisalign is appropriate for patients who have erupted second or 12-year molars. Invisalign has been shown to be effective at straightening the teeth for teens and adults, with nine-out-of-ten patients in recent surveys expressing high satisfaction with their Invisalign treatment.
