Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces used today. They are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. The metal braces used at Montvale Orthodontics are constructed of high-grade metal alloys that allow a significant improvement in both comfort and efficiency when compared to older generation braces.
With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile. You can pick and choose both your color and pattern at each visit.
Clear Braces
Why settle for the limitations of traditional braces or invisible aligners like Invisalign when there are Clear Braces?
Virtually invisible, Clear Braces have “clear” advantages over traditional braces and aligners. In some ways, you get the best of both other treatment options. You get the results and speed of using braces compared to aligners, but are closer to the aesthetic of aligners than that of braces. In most cases, it is very difficult to even see that someone is wearing clear braces. Clear braces deliver a discreet treatment experience with results that will continue a lifetime.
Invisalign
Patients who use Invisalign experience several advantages over traditional braces such as:
- Freedom to eat and drink what you choose
- Virtually invisible
- Often more comfortable, without metal wires or brackets
- Added benefit of being able to whiten your teeth during treatment with the dental trays.
- Ability to remove aligners for special occasions if necessary.
- No poking wires or brackets so no need for wax!- soft tissues are rarely affected by the aligners.
Lingual Braces
With lingual braces, the bracket is completely hidden from view. No one will guess that you are wearing braces unless you want them to.
Each bracket is tailored to the individual tooth for excellent and reliable results.
Unlike other methods of aesthetic treatment, lingual braces at Montvale Orthodontics are flexible enough to be used on most patients that can be treated with conventional braces. The brackets are 100% individualized for your teeth and deliver the treatment results that your doctor prescribes in the most efficient way. That means that you will get the best results possible in the shortest amount of time.
Micro-Implants
Implants have become a reliable method for anchorage in orthodontics. The can be useful to control skeletal anchorage and when absolute anchorage is necessary. Some common uses are:
- To close gaps in your teeth
- To support restorations
- To move entire tooth segments and not just a single tooth
Surgical Orthodontics
In the same way that orthodontics corrects misaligned teeth, surgical orthodontics (or 'orthognathic surgery') corrects jaw irregularities to improve the patients ability to breathe, eat and speak, and to improve facial appearances. Moving the jaws also moves the teeth, so braces are always a part of jaw correction. This helps ensure that teeth are properly positioned after surgery.
