Braces In Kearney, NE
Braces can correct all of these issues; however, the most important factor is choosing the proper type of braces to straighten your smile. We offer a variety of different braces for our patients to choose from:
Traditional Braces
This is still the most commonly used orthodontic treatment and advanced technology has made it significantly more comfortable than you may remember from your childhood years. We use sleek wires and smaller brackets for traditional braces that are comfortable and lightweight. Traditional braces are also great for correcting more severe and complicated misalignments.
Clear Braces
These are similar to traditional braces; however, since the brackets are made from ceramics this orthodontic treatment is more likely to blend in with your smile. This is a popular option for teenagers and adults looking to correct more severe malocclusions who still want a more discreet and subtle orthodontic system.
Clear Aligners
Invisalign
These clear removable aligners make it easy to hide the fact that you are wearing braces. Invisalign can correct minor to moderate crookedness and misalignments in teens and adults. These aligners are worn for around 22 hours out of the day and can be removed before eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Aligners are worn for about two weeks at a time.
To truly find out which braces or Invisalign are right for you, you will need to come in for a thorough evaluation. We would be happy to set up your next appointment.
