Invisalign Clear Aligners
For adults and older teenagers whose teeth or bite are mildly to moderately misaligned, we often recommend Invisalign clear aligners. These plastic trays gently reposition your teeth without being obvious when worn, so you don’t need to alter your appearance in the process. You’ll essentially wear the aligners at all times except when brushing, flossing, eating, or drinking (except for plain water). This means you can eat and perform daily oral hygiene without braces getting in the way.

Children, as well as older patients with severely misaligned teeth or an unbalanced bite (such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite), will probably benefit more from traditional braces. This tried-and-true method can make more dramatic changes than Invisalign. It involves threading a metal archwire through a series of brackets that are bonded to the front of each tooth. The wire gradually moves back toward its original shape, shifting the teeth into more evenly aligned positions.
