While all orthodontic treatments are customized to a certain degree, custom braces take things to the next level. Every bracket is custom-designed to fit each individual tooth, for a better fit and more predictable results.
Interested in braces but looking for a less noticeable option? Ceramic braces are made out of a translucent ceramic material that matches the natural color of your teeth. It’s a great way to get all the benefits of traditional braces, without shiny metals or bright colors.
Clear aligners can gradually and comfortably give you the smile of your dreams! As a less noticeable option than braces, they also have the benefit of ease of brushing and flossing and minimal food restrictions. Clear aligners can be a great treatment option for children, teens, and adults.

We recommend that children have their first orthodontic check-up around age 7, when their permanent teeth begin to emerge and potential issues can be more easily identified.
Most children are great candidates for either braces or clear aligners. Brushing and flossing is much easier with aligners, and aligners are a great option for kids who play contact sports. Braces can be a better option for kids who are concerned about keeping up with their aligners throughout the day. The decision comes down to which option will fit your child’s lifestyle better!
The length of treatment varies, but most teenagers wear braces or aligners for 1-3 years, depending on the complexity of the case and their individual treatment plan.
