Orthodontic BracesOrthodontic braces can be used to correct teeth that are uneven, misaligned, overlapping, crooked, or crowded. An effective and affordable way to improve both the appearance and health of one's smile, orthodontic braces have maximized the smiles of millions of people around the world, with a proven track record spanning decades of dental care. |
|
Invisalign®Invisalign® is a system of clear, invisible "aligners" that gradually move teeth to where they should be. Every two weeks or so a new, custom-molded aligner is provided that moves the teeth a bit more. There are no wires or rubber bands, and the aligners are removed before eating or caring for the teeth. |
|
Braces PricesThe price of orthodontic braces varies by the type of braces used, the severity of the dental problems being corrected, the length of time that the braces will be worn, individual orthodontists' fee schedules, and regional differences in dental care costs. Financing is usually available to help with the cost, making braces affordable. |
