Invisalign®

A dental aligner, such as Invisalign®, is a clear vinyl tray that is used to straighten teeth in certain select situations.  Tooth movement is accomplished by using a series of trays, which when worn consistently, move your teeth in stages. Dr. Elassal can determine if your case will be ideal to treat with aligners.  Please call our office today to schedule your complimentary initial exam appointment.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel. They are the most commonly used type of brace. The brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by the archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable. They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. Ceramic brackets are more fragile than metal ones, so a little more care and caution are advisable.
