Traditional Braces

Even with all the new alternative teeth alignment solutions available, traditional braces remain a popular and effective treatment solution. Traditional braces are durable, reliable and affordable, and they work for a wide range of dental issues, including minor gaps in the teeth to severe alignment problems.

Sublingual Braces

Sublingual braces are also a popular alternative to traditional braces. But rather than having the hardware showing on the outside of the teeth, sublingual braces are placed on the inside surface, making them virtually invisible to others, yet still provision the same level of effectiveness of traditional braces.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are yet another variation of traditional braces. While they aren’t exactly as effective as metal braces and these fore aren’t for severe cases, they are still very useful. The brackets on ceramic braces are made of tooth-colored ceramic instead of metal, so they have a lower visibility profile that makes them less noticeable.

Palatal Extender

Sometimes alignment issues have to do with structural conditions of the palate. For this condition, your orthodontist offers an orthodontic treatment in Gurnee, IL called a palatal extender. This is a removable device that rests inside the upper mouth on the palate. It works by gently widening the palate in an effort to correct a misaligned bite.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® offers the ultimate in convenience and aesthetics. These clear, removable aligners are custom-designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Best of all, they can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
