Braces/Invisalign

Braces don’t just straighten teeth—they support better health and a more confident smile. Invisalign is designed to straighten teeth discreetly, thanks to its clear, removable aligners. Other orthodontic treatment options include self-ligating and ceramic braces, as well as removable appliances (retainers). Ceramic braces function like traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, which some people find more aesthetically appealing.

Other orthodontic treatment options include self-ligating braces as well as removable appliances commonly known as retainers. Our experts will discuss the pros and cons of each option with you.
