Types of Braces
Light Dental Studios offers a variety of braces options to cater to the unique orthodontic needs and preferences of our patients.
Our commitment to providing comprehensive orthodontic care is reflected in the range of choices available, each with its own advantages and suitability for different cases.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the tried-and-true option for straightening teeth. They consist of metal brackets and wires that work together to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.
These braces are highly effective in addressing a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild to severe misalignments.
They are known for their durability and the ability to achieve precise results.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal braces.
They utilize tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires, making them less conspicuous and more discreet.
Clear braces are an excellent choice for individuals who desire a more subtle orthodontic treatment option while still benefiting from the effectiveness of braces.
Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic system that utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth. These aligners are virtually invisible when worn, allowing for a discreet and comfortable orthodontic experience.
Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
They are ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic issues and provide a convenient solution for individuals with active lifestyles.
Orthodontic Treatment for Children and Teens
Light Dental Studios also offers specialized orthodontic solutions for children and teenagers. Our orthodontists are skilled in addressing the unique dental needs of younger patients, including early intervention for bite issues and alignment problems.
