Braces
While orthodontic work that begins while a child is growing helps produce optimal results, that doesn’t mean that adults can’t have braces. Thanks to advances in orthodontic treatments, metal brackets are not your only option. Removable aligners, or invisible braces,î or clear plastic brackets can all be used to straighten crooked or crowded teeth.

A Clear and Easy Option for a Straighter Smile
Our practice is excited to offer Invisalign™ invisible aligners, an innovative option for teeth straightening that can be completed in as little as 9 - 15 months! The aligners can correct overcrowding, widely spaced teeth, overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
Invisalign utilizes 3-D computer imaging technology to develop your entire treatment plan from start to finish. From this plan, clear thermoplastic aligners are constructed. These are comparable to teeth-whitening trays and are custom built for your exact teeth. When beginning with the first set of aligners, gentle pressure moves your teeth into position. About two weeks later, you replace them with the second set of aligners and continue through treatment until completion. You only need to visit our office for evaluation every month or two. Each patient is different, so total treatment time is based on your personal needs and goals.
