Mills River Braces
Braces in Mills River are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. They’re one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have.
Traditional braces in Mills River use metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Mills River Invisalign
Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Mills River and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Caroline.
The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign clear aligners can now correct simple and more complex cases. Even some cases that require surgery can be treated with Invisalign. A free consultation with Dr. Caroline Albea at Caroline Albea Orthodontics in Mills River will allow us to determine your eligibility for Invisalign.
