Our Orthodontist Will Help You Find the Right Treatment

If you’ve chosen clear braces, you want them to be as discreet as possible. Depending on the color of your teeth, your orthodontist will use transparent or tooth-colored brackets. The archwires that connect your brackets will also be clear or a shade matched to your teeth, as will the ligatures that keep wires in place. Our team works closely with you to ensure your braces blend in beautifully with your smile!

We also offer traditional braces and Invisalign. We’ll consider numerous factors when determining which type of orthodontic treatment is best for your smile. Among them:

  • Your Orthodontic Issues – Braces simply work better for certain issues, such as a severe overbite or underbite.
  • Your Job – It’s tough to succeed in certain careers, such as sales and hospitality, without smiling frequently. If metal braces will make you self-conscious about showing your smile, Invisalign or ceramic braces may be a better choice.
  • Your Self-Discipline – Invisalign offers the convenience of removable aligners. That may not be a good thing, though, if you won’t keep them in at least 20-22 hours a day. Not wearing aligners often enough can adversely affect the cost and effectiveness of your treatment. If you lack self-discipline, you may want to choose braces instead.
