Braces &

Orthodontics

Like going to this dental practice. I can usually get an appt within a week or so instead of having to book months in advance. Never have to wait long to get called back into the exam room. Everyone is always so friendly and respectful of the patient’s financial/personal situation.

How Orthodontic Treatment

Works

Image

Orthodontic appliances are custom-made of metal, ceramic, or clear plastic. They come in as removable or may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully regulated direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position. Our orthodontist in Gainesville monitor your treatment progress.

Today, any age is a great age to get orthodontic treatment! Gone are the days when only metal braces were the only option for straightening teeth. You can now choose from clear aligners or metallic brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Clear aligners are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. If you also want to align your teeth with a discreet orthodontic treatment or the all-time favorite braces, visit Saddlebrook Dental & Orthodontics today!

Types of

Braces

Image

Traditional Metal Braces


Traditional metal braces are the most common and are now more comfortable. Made of high-quality stainless steel, they straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. You can add colored elastics or rubber bands with metal braces for a more unique and colorful smile.

Clear Braces


Clear braces are made of materials like ceramic or sapphire. They are visually less apparent and give out excellent results. They are therefore less visible on your teeth compared to metal braces. For this reason, clear braces are a good option for teenagers and adults with cosmetic concerns.

Clear Aligners & Invisalign


Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like conventional braces. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth bruises during treatment. The aligners are invisible and removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while undergoing treatment. Plus, this allows to make brushing and flossing less of a hassle.



Duration of Treatment


Depending on multiple factors, including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your issue is, orthodontic treatment time differs and can last around six months to three years. A significant aspect of a successful treatment is you, the patient! The more involved and active you are, the speedier and more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a more rapid treatment time later in life.

Before beginning your orthodontic treatment in Gainesville, our dentist will discuss all your options and estimate how long your complete treatment may take.
