Oxford & Pell City Orthodontic Options
Designer Smiles by Benton offers patients in Oxford and Pell City metal braces, clear braces, and LightForce clear braces. For clear aligners, we offer Boost, Invisalign, and Spark brands.
Oxford & Pell City Braces
Braces in Oxford and Pell City are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. They can work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments, potentially reducing overall treatment time. Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments do, making braces in Oxford and Pell City a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools. They’re made from metal or ceramic brackets affixed to the teeth, connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. These components work together to apply gentle pressure, gradually moving the teeth into desired positions with regular adjustments by our doctors.
Clear braces are a great alternative to metal braces, offering the same efficiency with a less noticeable appearance. They use ceramic brackets that blend with the teeth, making them a popular choice for those seeking a more discreet option.
LightForce Clear Braces represent the latest in orthodontic innovation. Using 3D-printed, customizable ceramic braces, LightForce offers a personalized fit for greater comfort, faster treatment times, and fewer office visits.
Oxford & Pell City Clear Aligners
Boost Aligners and Invisalign are popular alternatives to traditional braces in Oxford and Pell City, offering a convenient and discreet way to straighten teeth. Boost Aligners utilize a series of clear, removable trays to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Made from comfortable plastic material, these aligners are custom-fit and need to be switched out every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. John or Dr. Barry.
Boost Aligners must be worn for 20 – 22 hours per day to achieve optimal results. Non-compliance can delay progress and extend treatment time. Boost Aligners are effective for many common orthodontic issues but may not be suitable for more complex cases. A free consultation with Dr. Benton at Designer Smiles will help determine if Boost Aligners are right for you.
Invisalign is also a favored choice in Oxford and Pell CIty for its near-invisibility and convenience. Using clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gradually straightens teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. Patients switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks and must wear them 20 – 22 hours daily to ensure effectiveness.
