Clear Ceramic Braces: 

Ceramic braces are very popular with adult patients, as well as teenage patients. They are made of translucent (clear) material and are nearly invisible on the teeth, giving them high cosmetic appeal. 

Traditional Braces:

Metal braces are the more traditional way of straightening a person’s bite and smile. They are usually made of high-grade stainless steel and have come a long way over the years. Today’s braces are much smaller and more comfortable.

There are many misconceptions when it comes to braces. We debunked some orthodontic myths that are common misconceptions of orthodontic care, from traditional braces to how long treatment lasts. 

Invisalign: 
Did you know 1 in 3 orthodontic patients over the age of 18, the number of adults seeing an orthodontist is at an all-time high? With various advances in technology, Bunn Orthodontics provides various types of treatment including Invisalign for teens and adults. 

The success of your Invisalign treatment is based upon two critical factors, which we focus on at Bunn Orthodontics. One is the design of your custom aligners. It is important that invisalign treatment is completed at an orthodontic office to ensure your teeth are being aligned properly. Each set of aligners will be slightly different to guide your teeth into the position that has been recommended by Dr. Bunn. The second factor in success to invisalign treatment is the discipline in compliance on wearing your aligners. As directed by Dr. Bunn, your aligners should be worn as much as possible (approximately 22 hours each day). 

By simply slipping a series of slim-fitting clear plastic trays over the upper and lower teeth, many of the most common orthodontic conditions can be corrected. As an exciting and comfortable alternative to traditional metal or ceramic braces, Invisalign can simplify and enhance your orthodontic experience. A personal consultation with Dr. Bunn is the best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you.

With all these orthodontic treatment options, you can ensure an orthodontic treatment plan will be made to best suit your needs and preferences. Schedule a consultation today.
