Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made aligners made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. The aligners gradually and gently move your teeth just as traditional braces would. There are no metal brackets or wires to attach to or tighten. You change to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. You’ll achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth!
Clear braces are just like metal braces, but clear! Braces are the actual devices that are attached to teeth. They usually consist of “brackets” that are bonded to the teeth and a metal wire that is inserted into the brackets. The metal wires are tightened and work together with the brackets to move teeth into the desired positions.

Retainers are part of your dental work and important for keeping teeth in their new positions after you've worn braces. We offer this in clear, or Hawley style!
