Traditional Braces

When you hear the word “braces,” what comes to mind? For many, it’s brackets and wires, which are the orthodontic appliances used with traditional braces to address crooked, spaced-out, and otherwise misaligned teeth. In addition to being a tried-and-true orthodontic treatment that has helped millions of patients over the last several decades, traditional braces come with a significant benefit: they can address even more severe cases of malocclusion. So, whether you’re struggling with minor gaps or considerable overcrowding, your dream smile is within arm’s reach!

Invisalign

Over the last 20+ years, Invisalign has skyrocketed in popularity. Since this orthodontic treatment uses clear aligners instead of metal brackets and wires, it’s not hard to see why either! However, that’s not the only reason millions and millions of patients from around the world have chosen Invisalign. There also aren’t any dietary restrictions, brushing and flossing are hassle-free, and the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months (whereas traditional braces can take 24 months or more). To find out if you’re a candidate for clear aligner treatment, schedule a consultation with us!

Are you already noticing issues like crookedness, crowding, or gaps in your child’s baby teeth? Do they have a pronounced overbite, underbite, or crossbite that makes it awkward for them to chew or even speak? You don’t need to wait to do something about it—Phase 1 orthodontics can stop current problems from getting worse, prevent others from developing down the line, and reduce your child’s overall need for treatment while helping them enjoy a more comfortable and confident smile sooner.
