Orthodontics & Invisalign® Clear Braces

Invisalign Clear Braces Orthodontics, the science of repositioning teeth with braces, is often recommended for adults who want to improve the appearance of their smiles. Orthodontics not only enhances esthetics, it also improves oral health and function. Crooked or crowded teeth, bite problems, and jaw misalignment can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, headaches, and chewing and speaking problems. Dr. Dowell offers several options for adults seeking orthodontic treatment.

After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Dowell can tell you whether traditional braces, Invisalign clear braces, or Six-Month Braces® are right for you.

Traditional braces are the most popular option. They involve wires and metal or ceramic (clear or tooth-colored) brackets that use gentle force to move teeth into their correct position.
Invisalign clear braces are great for adults who want to straighten their teeth inconspicuously. These clear, acrylic aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Many patients complete treatment with Invisalign clear braces in 12 to 18 months.
In some cases, Dr. Dowell recommends Six-Month Braces, which utilize nickel-titanium wires to move the teeth that show when you smile. Six-Month Braces are generally used to improve the cosmetics of a smile and are not appropriate for correcting bite problems.
