Who Should Get Dental Braces?
We can apply braces at any age, even late into adulthood. Teeth alignment yields best results if applied around 7 years old. Like all bones in children, teeth are easily molded and moved because a child is still growing.
For adults, dental braces are still a healthy option for better smiles. Be sure to ask about Invisalign® clear aligners as a more comfortable alternative.
Braces also have health benefits, including alignment of the upper and lower jaws to alleviate the difficulty of cleaning crooked teeth. Alignment helps relieve pressure on temporomandibular joints, which could ease teeth grinding, symptoms of TMJ, and other painful jaw symptoms.
Why Should I Consider Invisalign®?
Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor. Your doctor will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique clear aligners will be created. You will wear each set of clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of clear aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of clear aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.
Invisalign clear aligners are made from SmartTrack material, so they are comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
Patients get a preview of their new smile on the first visit with the iTero digital scanner. Sixty percent of patients who were shown an Invisalign Outcome Simulator on the iTero Scanner started Invisalign treatment.

Why Might My Orthodontist Recommend Traditional Braces Over Invisalign?
- Invest in traditional teeth braces for a straight smile. Traditional braces are made of strong metals that withstand biting, chewing, and frequent movement.
- Traditional braces are also recommended for more difficult teeth straightening conditions.
- Spruce up your teeth straightening journey with a splash of color. Traditional braces feature a colored band over the metal, giving your teeth a unique flair. Use your school or sports colors and try a new color combo every six weeks!
