Dr. Nerissa Green will take the time to walk you through different teeth straightening options and help you choose the treatment that’s best for your individual needs. She will also provide guidance on the optimal time for treatment to commence.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth. Today’s designs are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they use brackets and wires to gently guide your teeth into position. You can even personalise your look with colours – a fun touch for kids, teens, and anyone young at heart.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic “clear” braces offer the same reliable results as metal braces, but with a more discreet appearance. These braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in naturally with your smile. They’re a popular choice for older teens and adults looking for a subtle way to straighten their teeth.
Invisalign and Invisalign Alternative Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners are a modern, removable alternative to traditional braces. It uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into place. The aligners are nearly invisible when worn and can be taken out for meals and cleaning. With no brackets or wires, they offer a smooth, comfortable, and convenient option for a straighter smile.
