Adolescent treatment

This orthodontic treatment, also known as Invisalign, features a series of clear plastic trays that are practically invisible, allowing for very discreet orthodontic treatment. These customized sets of trays, or aligners, are meant to be worn in a designated order and will gradually straighten your teeth in the way your orthodontist has prescribed. Since they need to be worn for 22 hours a day, you can take them out for eating, brushing, or other special occasions.

These are the standard, traditional braces that you’ll see on most patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Modern metal braces are now smaller and lighter than ever. They also offer customized options like having colored elastic ties on the brackets.

These braces feature brackets that are made of ceramic or composite materials that blend in with the teeth, making for a more discreet treatment option. They’re perfect for patients who may be nervous about being seen in traditional braces.

This is the most unnoticeable form of braces. As opposed to traditional braces that are placed on the outside of your teeth, lingual braces are placed on the inside of the teeth where they won’t be seen at all by others.

In other situations where major tooth or jaw movement is needed, Dr. Weis or Dr. Patel may recommend other orthodontic appliances. These can range from headgear to small devices that fit inside the mouth like rubber bands.
