Traditional Metal Braces
While modern orthodontic treatment offers a variety of alternatives like Invisalign, the classic form of treatment is the original: traditional metal braces. Made from stainless steel, metal braces consist of small brackets glued to the front of teeth and a thin, springy archwire running through them. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than ever, and metal braces provide one of the most cost-effective and reliable treatments on the market.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
If you're looking for an alternative to braces or want a more discreet treatment option, Invisalign can't be beaten. Invisalign does away with brackets and wires entirely. Instead, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays, called aligners, to straighten the teeth. Invisalign aligners are completely removable and lay directly flat against the dental arch, which gives them a number of advantages over braces:
- Virtually invisible when worn
- Easy to take in and out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
- Still enjoy your favorite foods
- Smooth aligners for improved comfort
