These straighteners are removable and almost invisible on the teeth and attractive to both teenagers and adults; traditional braces are permanent metal fixtures.

Treatment time will depend on the severity of alignment problems and patient cooperation. In general, you can expect to wear your braces for 12–36 months.

The process starts with a digital scan or impression of your teeth. Through innovative 3D imaging, customization of the brackets and wires combines with a treatment plan that details the exact movement of your teeth at each stage.

Your braces journey begins with a consultation and some diagnostic imaging. Once the treatment course is established, the orthodontist mounts brackets on your teeth and uses a wire to connect them all.

These are small, cone-shaped brushes that can clean between your teeth and around your braces more effectively than a standard toothbrush. They assist in removing plaque and food debris from hard to reach areas such as in between brackets and wires.

If you are having bruxism or any other oral health issue, get a conversation with your orthodontist during your follow-up visits.
