Types of Braces We Offer

At Align Beauty Orthodontics, we offer multiple braces options, allowing you to choose the best solution for your smile and lifestyle. Our options include:

Traditional Metal

This is the most commonly used type of brace, featuring standard metal brackets. But you can rest assured that these have come a long way throughout the years and are now much sleeker and more comfortable to wear than ever before.

Many young patients enjoy this option because you can customize your hardware by adding colorful elastic bands that reflect your personal style!

Ceramic

These are sometimes referred to as “clear braces” because the brackets are made with clear materials. These function in the same way as traditional braces except they are a less noticeable option because they blend in with your teeth better.

Invisalign

The Invisalign system involves the use of clear, removable trays that are custom-fitted to your teeth. Each set of aligners applies a slight adjustment to your teeth, working to position them where they need to be.

These aligners are made from clear, pliable materials that fit closely to your teeth. This teeth straightening method tends to be a more comfortable, less noticeable option in the teeth-straightening process.

Self-Ligating

This option is made from the same materials as traditional braces; however, they do not require the use of elastics. This means fewer adjustment appointments and less friction on your teeth.

With this technique, you have the option to have traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets, depending on your preference and needs.

Lingual

These are placed behind the teeth, making them “invisible” when you smile. These are completely customized to fit your teeth; each set is created uniquely for you.

This is a great option for those who prefer to keep their teeth straightening process discreet.

Types of Invisalign We Offer

This system is one of the most revolutionary Orthodontic products ever introduced to the field. This technology uses 3D computer-imaging to capture your complete treatment plan and create your customized aligners.

What sets this form of treatment apart from traditional teeth straightening methods is the fact that these aligners are almost undetectable and are customized by your orthodontic specialist for your unique mouth and teeth. In addition, they are removable for short periods of time, adding to their convenience.

Since its introduction, there have been a number of Invisalign products created to help people achieve a straighter, more beautiful smile with as minimal disruption to their lifestyle as possible.

Options include:

Full Invisalign Set

With the traditional, full set, you receive a series of aligners that are made to wear for one to two weeks at a time. These need to be worn for at least 22 hours each day, they can be removed only to eat, drink, brush or floss.

During this process, your teeth will gradually move into place each week and you should plan to visit us every 8-10 weeks throughout your treatment.

Invisalign Teen

Just as the name suggests, this option is designed for teens and young adults. This is similar to the full version, with a few important differences.

First, each set of aligners has an included device that provides an indication of whether the patient has been wearing their aligners consistently with their treatment plan. Additionally, the aligners can be modified to accommodate a teen’s growing and changing mouth.

Invisalign Express

This option allows for a quicker adjustment process. Rather than using the traditional twenty or thirty sets of aligners, the Express plan was designed to help those with minor orthodontic issues, such as small misalignments, rotation, or crowding problems.

This option allows patients to complete the orthodontic process in six months or less, in most cases. The Express is also a great option for those who experience early onset orthodontic relapse, where they need some additional support to keep their teeth in place.
