Straighten Teeth
Personalized treatment plans for optimal teeth alignment — for children, teens, and adults.
Achieve Your Ideal Alignment
Whether your teeth are slightly askew or seriously crooked, there are many reasons why it can be advantageous to straighten them. One of the primary reasons is, of course, aesthetic — straight teeth contribute to a beautiful, confident smile.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits of straightening your teeth, there are also many potential functional benefits. Depending upon your specific situation, straightening your teeth may also make it easier to brush and floss effectively, reduce your risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and improve your bite.
Teeth Straightening Methods
There was a time when the primary way to straighten crooked teeth was through the use of bulky metal braces and embarrassing external headgear. Needless to say, things have progressed considerably. Here are the most common methods available today:
Ceramic Braces
While metal braces are incredibly effective, ceramic braces provide the same results with brackets designed to blend in with the natural color of your teeth.
Lingual Braces
Placed on the inside surfaces of your teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view while still delivering effective orthodontic treatment.
Clear Aligners
Virtually invisible when placed in the mouth, clear aligners are one of the most popular options. They are removable and generally more comfortable than braces.
Metal Braces
Still viewed as one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth. Modern metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than ever before.
