Self-ligating orthodontic treatment systems provide the latest in orthodontic technology. The biggest benefit of self-ligating brackets is that there is very little friction between the braces and the wires. This lower friction results in a more ideal force for tooth movement, moving the teeth quicker and more comfortably. Other advantages include less frequent appointments and improved plaque control.

We are now utilizing self-ligating esthetic braces that are near invisible yet still provide the comfort and efficiency of metal brackets.

Invisalign uses a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. While undergoing Invisalign treatment, most people will not be able to tell that you are wearing orthodontic appliances. The other distinct advantage is that the appliances can be removed so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Brushing and flossing is also performed without the aligners in place. Invisalign also tends to be more comfortable then traditional braces due to the fact that there is no metal, which can sometimes cause sore spots on the lips and cheeks during treatment.
