Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth without traditional braces. SmartTrack material ensures comfort and precise tooth movement, while weekly aligner changes accelerate results. Patients can maintain normal eating and oral hygiene routines, making this option ideal for busy lifestyles seeking discreet orthodontic care.
PROPEL Accelerated Orthodontics
PROPEL technology speeds up tooth movement by stimulating surrounding bone, reducing treatment time for many patients to under a year. This non-invasive procedure works with braces, aligners, or clear braces, offering predictable results with minimal discomfort. Patients benefit from fewer office visits and quicker achievement of their desired smile.
Carriere Distalizer
The Carriere Distalizer corrects misaligned bites without permanent tooth extraction. This appliance gently repositions upper teeth into proper alignment before braces, improving jaw function and smile aesthetics. Treatment typically completes in months, using elastic wear to guide teeth into their ideal position with minimal patient discomfort.
Traditional Metal Braces
Modern metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires for effective tooth straightening. Durable and efficient, these braces offer customizable options with colored elastics. They remain the most common and reliable choice for comprehensive orthodontic correction across all age groups seeking durable treatment solutions.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide a discreet alternative to metal braces, using tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural teeth. While less visible, they require careful maintenance to prevent damage. Orthodontic Associates offers complimentary ceramic bracket upgrades for upper teeth, balancing aesthetics with effective orthodontic correction.
