Anniston Braces

Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. The metal or ceramic brackets, which are connected to by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics, are attached to your teeth. Regular adjustments with our doctors will help these parts work together to gently apply pressure to your teeth.
Your teeth will gradually move into position as pressure is gently applied.

Anniston braces are a great choice to get a correction that looks great whether you have simple or complex teeth issues. Anniston braces are also a cost-effective option for patients on a budget. They sometimes work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other options might, so overall treatment time can be slightly reduced. Since braces don’t require some of the more complicated technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can.

Anniston Invisalign

The Anniston Invisalign system uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into alignment instead of brackets and bands. This option is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is currently the top alternative to traditional braces.

Aligners must be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment for them to do their job.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over the patient’s teeth. The trays are virtually invisible and are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. This keeps the teeth moving in the right direction! If you don’t wear your aligners as directed you may see unwanted results such as slower treatment or a lack of results altogether.

Invisalign is at its most effective when used to correct many of the most common orthodontic issues, and may not be the best option for patients with especially complex cases. A free consultation with Designer Smiles Orthodontics will be able to help determine your eligibility for Invisalign.
