How Orthodontics Work

The goal of orthodontic treatment is the same for children, teenagers, or adults – to straighten teeth so they look better and work better.

This goal is achieved using braces or clear aligners that put constant, gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into the correct position over a period of months or years.

You can now choose from brackets that are clear or metallic, and in some cases, the color of your appliance. Invisalign is a nearly invisible option, while wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort.  Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces, made of either metal or ceramic, have been used for decades to straighten teeth. In recent years, advances in orthodontic treatment have resulted in braces that are low-profile, more comfortable and easier to care for.

How Braces Straighten Teeth

Braces apply continuous pressure to the teeth over a period of time, slowly moving them into their new, corrected positions.

As pressure is applied and the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new positions of the teeth.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that are adjusted over a period of time.

Invisalign clear aligners offer a convenience factor – they are removable for when you'd prefer no one know that you are straightening your teeth.

Similar in appearance to custom whitening trays, they are easy to insert. You can even remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss!
