Technology is always changing in the field of dentistry, and the reality of braces has advanced as well. The traditional metal braces that wrapped around a tooth are now replaced with brackets that are bonded just to the front surface of the tooth. These brackets can be clear or tooth-colored, so they are less visible. Wires are much thinner and not as obvious as they gently move teeth to a new position.
There are also lingual braces, which are positioned on the back of teeth and are completely unnoticeable. These work well for adults who need a very professional look for their job or community commitments.

If
you have always wanted straight teeth but have been unwilling to
commit to years of procedures, let us introduce a small miracle
to you. With the innovative invisible aligners of Invisalign™
and ClearCorrect™, you can have straight teeth in only 9 - 15
months! They correct overbite, underbite, crossbite, gapped
teeth, and overcrowding. 
We
use a state-of-the-art 3-D computer-imaging technology to
outline an entire treatment plan. It designs sets of aligners
that will be changed every two weeks as progress is made. With
each new aligner, your teeth are gently moved into the desired
position. The length of time of treatment depends on your
personal goals and needs. And you spend less time in the dental
chair, with evaluations only every one to two months.
