How Orthodontics Work
Orthodontics can help patients of all ages straighten their teeth so that they look and function better.
Whether you choose treatment with braces or clear aligners, teeth are straightened by gentle pressure pushing them into place slowly over a period of months or years.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
With Invisalign clear aligners, your smile is gradually straightened using a series of individually customized, clear plastic aligners that move your teeth 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.
3M™ Clarity™ Aligners
3M Clarity Aligners offer personalized treatments to all patients. These aligners are made with a multi-layer copolymer that can be twice as thick so that different levels of force can be used on different areas of the mouth. Clarity Aligners Flex + Force provide durability, superior stain resistance and are designed with your patients' comfort in mind.
SureSmile® Clear Aligners
SureSmile is an orthodontic treatment that works to gradually straighten your teeth with custom-fit, removable clear aligners. Your dentist will digitally scan your teeth to create an individualized treatment plan that enables your aligners to move your teeth from your first aligner to your last.
Damon System Braces
The Damon System is a type of self-ligating braces that utilize a patented slide mechanism to connect archwires to the bracket while allowing the wire to move freely. This gives the Damon System a lower profile than traditional braces while reducing friction and improving oral hygiene by eliminating elastic ties.
