Losing weight, exercising, healthy diet, and reducing stress are some of the most common New Year’s resolutions that target health and well-being. While they are important, have you ever thought about improving your smile? While many patients undergo orthodontic treatment for cosmetic reasons, braces also correct tooth alignment, spacing, and your occlusion or bite for improved dental health and oral hygiene.
Orthodontic patients of all ages are often wary of treatment because of the traditional metal braces. With today’s new state of the art technology in orthodontics, you really have nothing to fear with many types of braces available that are not as noticeable. No matter what your age, at McNamara Orthodontics, our goal is to recommend a number of effective orthodontic options to meet your individual needs.
• Clear braces – the brackets are made of tooth-colored enamel or plastic that is less noticeable.
• Invisalign – The “Braceless Alternative” for straight teeth for teens and adults consists of a series of removable aligners that slowly move the teeth into the proper position.
