Metal and Clear Braces
The most common type of dental braces are traditional braces. Metal braces straighten the teeth using metal archwires and brackets. To create a customized look, patients can add colored elastics. Clear braces are made of ceramic and are often used for patients who are more concerned with aesthetics. They are larger and more brittle than metal braces, but can provide patients with the same great results as metal braces.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® systems provide patients with a series of removable, invisible aligners which gradually straighten the teeth. This treatment is appropriate for patients who are looking for subtle changes to their smile. The aligners provide patients with a discrete way to straighten their teeth. Aligners should be worn for the majority of the day, and removed for teeth cleaning and eating. Wearing the aligners consistently is essential for results.
Retainers
After your teeth have been straightened, retainers are used to keep your teeth in their new, correct positions. Orthodontic retainers can be removable or fixed inside of the mouth. Wearing your retainer is crucial to preventing your teeth from reverting to their original positions.
Orthodontic Implants
In order for orthodontic treatments to be successful, constant, gentle pressure must be applied to the teeth. Orthodontic implants are surgically inserted into the mouth to provide anchor points for teeth that are moving in the as a result of your orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic implants are not permanent implants and are removed once your treatment is completed.
