Hidden Braces

Having braces doesn’t mean you have to have a “tin grin.” Our office also uses lingual braces, which attach to the lingual, or tongue, side of your teeth. Lingual braces are custom-fit for your teeth and treatment plan, and each bracket is manufactured for each individual patient. These appliances are well-suited for adults, who may worry about the aesthetic nature of regular metal braces.

Simple Aligners

Simple aligners are a clear set of aligners that can accomplish similar results to Invisalign at a greatly reduced cost. These aligners can quickly and easily resolve mild to moderate lower incisor crowding. They are popular and effective treatment options for individuals on a limited budget that want straight teeth without braces!
