Orthodontic Concerns
Braces and Invisalign can help address a variety of orthodontic concerns that affect the appearance, alignment, and function of your smile. Treatment may be recommended for issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite irregularities. The cost and length of treatment vary depending on the complexity of your individual case.
Complimentary Invisalign Scan & Consultation
If you're considering orthodontic treatment, we offer a complimentary Invisalign scan and consultation to help you explore your options. Using our iTero digital scanner, we can create a simulation that shows how your smile may change throughout treatment, helping you make an informed decision about your care.
Invisalign®
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. The aligners are removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient option for many patients. For the best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day and are typically changed every one to two weeks as treatment progresses.
Many patients appreciate that Invisalign aligners are discreet, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into their daily routine. Treatment plans vary based on individual needs, and more complex orthodontic concerns may require additional appliances or a longer treatment timeline.
Braces
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually guide teeth into proper alignment. Braces are a reliable and effective treatment option for a wide range of orthodontic concerns and may be recommended for more complex cases.
Throughout treatment, regular adjustments help ensure your teeth continue moving according to plan. Good oral hygiene is especially important while wearing braces to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout the orthodontic process.
Choosing The Right Option
Every smile is different. During your consultation, Dr. Huang will assess your orthodontic needs, discuss your goals, and help you determine whether Invisalign, braces, or another treatment approach is the best fit for you.
