What Is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and maintenance of issues relating to the position of the teeth, jaw, and bite. Treatment typically involves using braces, clear aligners, and other corrective strategies to straighten teeth, resolve bite issues, and improve oral function and aesthetics. At Signature Smiles, our team tailors orthodontic plans for children, teenagers, and adults, helping patients of all ages achieve a healthy, confident smile.

What Are My Orthodontic Treatment Options?
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is an innovative orthodontic treatment option that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Custom-made for each patient, each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks before being swapped out for the next set in the sequence. Invisalign® is popular for its discreet appearance and enhanced convenience, allowing patients to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene easily. Suitable for treating various dental issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems, Invisalign® offers a comfortable and nearly invisible solution for achieving a straight, confident smile.
Invisalign® Teen
Invisalign® Teen is a specialized version of the Invisalign® clear aligner system designed specifically for teenagers. It entails many of the same benefits as the regular Invisalign® system, including discreet aesthetics and enhanced convenience. The primary difference is the targeted age group, and Invisalign® Teen includes several built-in and optional features designed to promote treatment compliance and account for the unique needs of growing patients.
Braces
Traditional braces are a popular orthodontic treatment for correcting dental misalignments and bite issues using brackets and wires that are affixed to the teeth. Suitable for all ages, traditional braces can effectively treat complex dental problems, including crowding, spacing, and severe bite issues. Though more visible than clear aligners, braces are highly durable and can achieve significant, long-lasting results.
