Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces have stood the test of time as a reliable and effective method for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. They consist of high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires, which are periodically tightened to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Ideal for complex alignment and bite issues, metal braces offer precision and control in the movement of teeth. At Santa Ana Family Dentistry, we ensure that even our traditional braces solutions are as comfortable as possible, using the latest bracket designs to reduce irritation and discomfort.

Ceramic Braces

For those who seek a less noticeable option, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. They function similarly to metal braces but come with tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend more seamlessly with your natural teeth. These braces are particularly popular among our adult patients and older teenagers who are conscious of the visual impact of traditional metal braces. While ceramic braces are more discreet, they require a bit more care to avoid staining. Our team at Santa Ana Family Dentistry provides comprehensive guidance on maintaining your ceramic braces for optimal effectiveness and aesthetics.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, offer a modern, nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. These custom-made, clear plastic aligners are removable and need to be replaced every two weeks with the next set in the series. This option is ideal for patients with mild to moderate alignment issues who prefer a more discreet treatment. Clear aligners allow for greater flexibility in your lifestyle, as they can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Our dental team at Santa Ana Family Dentistry will work with you to determine if clear aligners are suitable for your specific orthodontic needs and lifestyle preferences.
