BRACES

An Effective Way To Straighten Your Smile

Braces are a tried and true orthodontic treatment option to straighten your smile. They are made of metal or tooth-colored brackets that are bonded to the front of the teeth and connected by a series of wires. These wires put force on the teeth, gradually moving them into alignment. Many people beginning orthodontic treatment may worry about their appliances being uncomfortable. While it is normal to feel a little soreness when you first get your appliances, brackets and wires today are more comfortable and sleek than ever before. High Line Orthodontics in Chelsea, NY proudly offers several treatment options so you can get the smile you want, your way.

Traditional and clear braces

These appliances are an effective and foolproof way to get your desired smile results, and allow you to express yourself with your smile by choosing your band colors. For a more discreet option, we also offer clear (or ceramic) brackets.

Lingual braces

While traditional brackets adhere to the front of the teeth, these brackets are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. They are a great option for patients who want a straighter smile without drawing attention to their appliances.

LightForce braces

LightForce is one of the latest advancements in orthodontic technology! During traditional braces treatment, patients are given one-size fits all brackets and wires with a fixed base shape. In contrast, LightForce is 3D printed and customized to fit your tooth shape and size.

Am I A Good Candidate For Braces?
