Our orthodontist offers several types of braces to ensure that we can find the treatment that is right for you. We offer three main types of braces:
Clear aligner systems such as Invisalign®, ClearCorrectTM, and others use custom-made plastic aligners to gradually move your teeth to their proper positions. To achieve the best results, these aligners are designed using computer simulation. Clear aligner therapy is a very popular treatment among adults and other patients who want a more discreet treatment option because it is a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth.
During your initial visit with our team, we will help you determine which type of braces would best meet your personal needs and preferences. Schedule your consultation today.
LightForce Braces are a revolutionary advancement in orthodontics—custom 3D-printed brackets designed just for you. Unlike traditional or ceramic braces, LightForce brackets are tailored to the exact shape and alignment of your teeth, allowing for more precise movement, a more comfortable fit, and often shorter treatment times. The result? Fewer appointments, better efficiency, and a stunningly confident smile made just for you.
This is the most common type of braces. Metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel, and thanks to advances in technology and materials, metal braces are now smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than ever before.
Looking speed up your orthodontic journey? Here are a few helpful tips to keep things moving:
1. Brush and floss regularly. Keeping your teeth and gums healthy helps ensure more comfortable and efficient tooth movement. Flossing is especially important for maintaining gum health.
2. See your dentist every 4–6 months for cleanings. Routine dental checkups support your overall oral health and keep your treatment on track.
3. Avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods. These can damage your braces or appliances. Excessive breakage can delay treatment and may lead to extra costs.
If you break a bracket or brace and are experiencing pain or bleeding outside of office hours, please call our emergency line at 707-548-6247. Leave a message, and a team member will get back to you as soon as possible.
4. Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water helps reduce discomfort and supports your body’s natural ability to move teeth efficiently.
5. Always schedule your next appointment before leaving. If you need to reschedule, do so as early as possible to maintain the treatment timeline recommended by Dr. Lynskey. Frequent missed appointments may extend your treatment time and incur additional costs.
