Orthodontic Braces - One of the more traditional orthodontic procedures, past and present, braces are used to align teeth. Unlike braces of the past however, orthodontists today use several different styles for patients including a clear plastic and tooth-colored ceramic style brace. These different styles allow an orthodontist to re-align the teeth without the braces being very noticeable. However, the most economical choice is still traditional braces, made of metal.Braces re-align the teeth with the help of brackets bonded to each tooth, and an arch wire that guides each tooth into the proper location over a period of time.


Invisalign -A relatively new idea in orthodontics, Invisalign is a clear plastic mold that aligns the teeth without the use of braces. After obtaining impressions of the mouth, the orthodontist will use a computer to create clear retainers that will progressively align the teeth. The first retainer fits the teeth in the beginning of the treatment, and the following retainers will work to move them into alignment with gentle pressure. While each individual may use a different number of retainers until they achieve the result they want, it generally takes between 18 and 30 retainers to complete treatment. Each retainer is worn for two weeks before the next one is used.
