Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently shift your teeth into place, often with less impact on your daily life than traditional braces. Because the aligners are smooth and removable, many adults and teens appreciate the flexibility and discreet appearance.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work in a similar way to metal braces, but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that are less noticeable on your teeth. They can be a good choice if you prefer a lower-profile look while still benefiting from the effectiveness of braces.

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces remain a trusted orthodontic solution for many kinds of alignment and bite concerns. Using brackets and a wire that is periodically adjusted, this option can be a strong choice when you want reliable results backed by years of proven success.

What to Expect From Your Orthodontic Visit

Your experience at Friendly Smiles Center starts with a thorough consultation with Dr. Chase. He will listen to what you want to change about your smile, review your medical and dental history, and perform a careful exam that may include digital imaging.

From there, we walk you through your orthodontics options in clear, easy-to-understand language, answering your questions about treatment time, comfort, and life with braces or aligners. If you choose to move forward, our team will outline your personalized treatment plan and help you schedule visits at times that work for you, including evening appointments on select days.

Common Questions About Orthodontics

How do I know which orthodontic option is right for me?

Dr. Chase will evaluate your teeth, bite, and oral health, then discuss what you want from treatment, including appearance and lifestyle factors. Together, you will decide whether Invisalign, traditional braces, or ceramic braces are the best fit.

Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?

Healthy adults of many ages can benefit from straighter teeth and a more balanced bite. As long as your gums and supporting bone are in good condition, orthodontic treatment may still be an option.

Will orthodontic treatment hurt?

You may feel some pressure or mild soreness after getting braces placed or aligners changed, but this typically eases within a few days. Our team will share tips to stay comfortable and is always available to talk if something does not feel right.

How long does treatment usually take?

Treatment time depends on your individual case, the type of orthodontics you choose, and how closely you follow the recommended guidelines. At your consultation, we will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.

Can I eat normally with braces or aligners?

With braces, you will need to avoid certain hard or sticky foods that can damage brackets or wires. With Invisalign, you remove the aligners to eat, so you can usually enjoy your normal diet, then brush and place the aligners back in.

How often will I need to come in for visits?

Most patients are seen regularly so we can check progress and make needed adjustments. The exact schedule depends on your treatment plan, and we do our best to offer appointment times that fit your routine, including later hours on select weekdays.
