If you answered “A” five or more times…

Then there’s a good chance that you’re a candidate for Invisalign! Over 17 million patients have chosen to straighten their teeth with this innovative orthodontic treatment. Since the average treatment timeline is shorter, there aren’t any dietary restrictions, and there aren’t any noticeable metal components, it’s not hard to see why either!

If you answered “B” five or more times…

Schedule a consultation with us to discuss traditional braces! Although the brackets and wires aren’t as discreet as clear aligners, they offer unique benefits, including that they can help patients with the most severe cases of malocclusion. Plus, they can’t be removed, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally misplacing them or meeting a daily wear time goal.

That way, we can learn all about you, your smile goals, and your dental history. Then, we can review your treatment options more in-depth, answer any questions you have, create your custom treatment plan, and officially begin the teeth-straightening process.
