Invisalign is by far the most popular choice for adults interested in orthodontics, and it’s easy to see why. The clear plastic trays practically disappear when placed on the teeth, and each one is custom-made for a comfortable fit. Plus, it allows patients to eat whatever they like throughout treatment as well as brush their teeth like normal. All you have to do is take the trays off until you’re done!
Today’s traditional braces use the same metal brackets and wires you probably recognize from your youth, but thankfully, they are much less bulky than appliances of the past. We typically recommend braces for patients with advanced orthodontic issues like a severely misaligned bite, as these can sometimes be beyond the capacity of clear aligners. They’re able to create dramatic changes for our adult patients that cannot only improve the look of their smile, but also enhance their daily function.

With clear ceramic braces, you get the best of both worlds. They combine the reliability of metal braces with the subtle appearance of clear aligners. The brackets are made of a see-through plastic material, and the wires and elastics are tooth-colored as well. This makes the braces much more discreet and blend into the background. Their esthetics make them no less effective at correcting crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth, plus they can be used to address overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and more.
