Orthodontic Treatment Options
There are several treatment options to fit your needs and budget:
Traditional Braces
Modern braces are smaller, less noticeable, and just as effective as older models. They’re easier to clean and more comfortable.
Clear Brackets
Clear braces are popular among adults, offering a more discreet option without compromising effectiveness.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, have gained popularity for their comfort and discretion. Custom-made transparent trays gradually move your teeth into position and can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontic treatment is ideally started while the patient is younger, before most adult teeth have erupted. However, there are treatment options available for adults, and it’s never too late to improve your smile.
While braces are not painful when first applied, some discomfort may occur as they begin shifting your teeth. Most patients describe the feeling as more annoying than painful. If you experience significant discomfort, let us know—there are solutions to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.
Avoid foods that could damage your braces, such as candy apples, caramel, and corn on the cob. Also, steer clear of sugary or acidic foods that are difficult to clean from your braces. Clear braces may stain from foods like beets, curry, and certain pasta dishes.
If something breaks, don’t wait until your next appointment. Call us right away to schedule an emergency visit.
Flossing with braces is easy with the help of floss threaders and super floss. We’ll show you how to floss effectively at your next appointment to ensure your braces stay clean.
For minor adjustments, treatment can take as little as 6 months. However, most patients will need braces for between 6 months and 2 years, depending on the complexity of the treatment. We can give you a more accurate estimate after an oral exam.
