Braces

Braces are orthodontic appliances made of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to gently move and align teeth into their desired positions. They are a proven method for correcting various dental misalignments and bite issues, resulting in a straighter smile and improved oral health.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, are virtually invisible, removable trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. These aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy daily activities without the appearance of metal wires.

Vivera® Retainers

Vivera® retainers are custom-made, clear retainers designed to help maintain the results achieved after orthodontic treatment, whether through braces or clear aligners. They are comfortable to wear and provide long-term support in preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Frequently Asked Orthodontics Questions

  • Are there age restrictions for getting braces?

    While braces are commonly associated with adolescents, they can be effective for patients of various ages. Orthodontists can determine the best treatment plan based on individual needs.

  • How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

    The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the chosen method. On average, treatment can last from several months to a few years.

  • Can I play sports or musical instruments with braces?

    Yes, but it's recommended to wear a mouthguard during sports to protect both your braces and your mouth. Playing musical instruments might require an adjustment period as you get used to the braces.

  • What foods should I avoid with braces or clear aligners?

    Sticky, hard, or crunchy foods should be avoided as they can damage braces. Clear aligner wearers can remove the aligners for meals, so there are fewer restrictions on what to eat.

  • Will my dental insurance cover orthodontic treatment?

    Many dental insurance plans offer coverage for orthodontic treatment, but it's important to check with your provider to understand the extent of coverage and any limitations.
