Considerations for Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth.
Custom-Crafted Alignment
Each set of aligners is custom-made to move the teeth into their desired position gradually.
Compliance
For effective treatment, aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours per day, and patient adherence is crucial.
Complex Cases
Invisalign may not be suitable for complex orthodontic issues. Severe malocclusions might require traditional braces or a combination of traditional and Invisalign.
Amazing and friendly staff. My daughter has severe anxiety and the staff were exceptional. Reception is always incredible, the hygienist was patient, considerate, and friendly, and Dr. Ballard takes the time to give you the best treatment options, and he genuinely cares for his patients. You couldn’t ask for a better clinic.

Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use metallic brackets and wires to move teeth into proper alignment. The brackets are attached to the teeth, and the wires are adjusted.
Aesthetics
Metal braces are more visible compared to clear aligners.
Comfort
Braces may irritate the cheeks and gums, especially after adjustments.
Oral Hygiene
Brushing and flossing can be more challenging, requiring special techniques and tools to maintain oral health.
Dietary Restrictions
Certain foods (e.g., sticky or hard foods) should be avoided to prevent damage to the braces.
