Types of Braces:

Metal Braces.

Metal braces have vastly improved over the years to the point where they are now small, sleek, and comfortable. They are bonded to the teeth and stay for the duration of treatment to line the teeth up into their ideal positions using a wire and little colored ties (fun for the kids!) or silver for the adults to blend in.

Clear Braces.

Clear braces are the esthetic alternative that is both inconspicuous and effective! They are hardly visible and are comfortable with proven results. Adults and the esthetically conscious teens tend to love these braces!

There are multiple varieties of clear braces that are case specific, so at your consultation, Dr. Keith can decide what is right for you!

Damon Braces.

Not only do we offer traditional metal and esthetic braces, we are one of the only offices in the county treating with Damon braces - a high-quality, high-performance system which coincides with our philosophy of safe and conservative treatment. 

“The Damon system has truly taken off at our practice over the past few years, with a resounding response from patients and their families," says Dr. Keith.  "This treatment allows us to alleviate moderate to even severe crowding of teeth without the need for removal of teeth, it is truly incredible!”

 

Clear Aligner Treatment:

Invisalign/Clear Aligners

Invisalign/Clear Aligner treatment is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that works by using a series of clear, removable aligners that are changed approximately every 10 days!

The aligners move your teeth slowly and gently to perfect alignment of teeth and create a beautiful smile. Dr. Keith has been a premier Invisalign provider for many years, working on multitudes of patients who have achieved their best smile! In addition, he has been selected to test and provide feedback on other clear aligner companies hoping to enter the orthodontic market.  An easy consultation can determine if this type of treatment is right for you. 

Aligner specifics: The aligners are worn 20-22 hours per day and are removed for eating, drinking, and brushing/flossing your teeth. Treatment time may range from an average of 6 months or less for minor crowding to 12-18 months for moderate to severe crowding. The aligners are comfortable to wear and easy to live with.
