Types of orthodontics for adults

Invisalign

Invisalign is a clear aligner system made from a durable patented plastic material called SmartTrack. Invisalign offers a wide variety of aligners, which can treat mild to severe misalignment cases. Many adults opt for Invisalign as it is the most subtle, discreet way to align a beautiful smile over time.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are one of the most common and affordable options to correct mild to severe tooth and jaw misalignment. These braces are composed of durable, medical-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to produce a natural, straight smile.

Ceramic Braces

While similar in function to traditional metal braces, ceramic braces are made up of tooth-colored ceramic material that matches the natural shade of your smile. Many adult patients choose ceramic braces as a less-noticeable alternative to metal braces. With proper care and attention, ceramic braces guide your teeth to its coveted alignment for a healthy, straight smile and bite.

Airway Friendly Orthodontics

Orthodontic care can do so much more for you than just aligning your teeth. Airway orthodontics can reshape your mouth to open up your airway to its ideal state for better breathing and more restful sleep. By repositioning your jaw and to promote nasal breathing, airway friendly orthodontics can reduce the risk of obstructive sleep apnea so you can live your life to the fullest.
