Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are the ones most people are familiar with. First, your orthodontist fixes metal or ceramic brackets to your teeth. Then, wires are threaded through slots in the brackets to create movement. Then, we connect the wires and brackets using small, non-intrusive rubber bands. You will experience gentle but constant pressure on your teeth to move them into position. Lastly, we recommend periodic visits to our office to check the progress of your treatment. Treatment times can range from 6 months to 2 years. Orthodontics through traditional braces are available at our Paragould, AR office only.
Invisalign
Invisalign orthodontics, the most comfortable and popular orthodontics treatment available, provides patients with comfort, aesthetic appeal, and the highest quality materials available. Your Invisalign dentist uses the latest CAD/CAM technology to create a detailed alignment plan to move teeth into their ideal position. In addition, the Invisalign system offers patients the added benefit of years of research, trial, and success. Invisalign clear braces are durable and proven effective in shifting crooked, gapped, and misaligned teeth into position along the path of least resistance.
