Orthodontics

-Clear Aligner

Essentially, the aligners are plastic replicas of your teeth. They gently reposition the teeth by exerting gentle pressure on them. The aligners should be worn 22 hours a day, or as prescribed by the orthodontist. A set of aligners is worn for one or two weeks before the next one is worn.

-Essix Retainer

 After braces have been used to straighten your teeth, you’ll need a retainer to protect them from moving. The new location of your teeth will take at least four to six months to become permanent.

-Hawley Retainer

Using ortho wire and acrylic, a retainer protects your orthodontic results, keeping your teeth from reverting to their previous positions.
