Orthodontic Treatment Options

At Better Living Through Dentistry, we offer a variety of orthodontic solutions to suit your unique needs and lifestyle. These include:

  • Traditional Braces
    Metal brackets and wires are a time-tested solution for correcting complex alignment issues.
  • Clear Aligners
    A discreet and removable alternative to braces, clear aligners gradually shift teeth into place.
  • Ceramic Braces
    Tooth-colored brackets offer a more subtle appearance compared to traditional metal braces.
  • Lingual Braces
    Placed on the back of the teeth, lingual braces are virtually invisible from the front.

Your dentist will help you choose the best treatment option based on your orthodontic needs and personal preferences.

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, follow these tips to preserve your results:

  • Wear your retainer as directed by your dentist
