Types of Braces in Modesto, CA
Clear Aligners
Dr. Heiner primarily uses Invisalign aligners for orthodontic treatment. These clear, removable trays are made from a smooth, comfortable acrylic that straightens teeth just like traditional braces but without the visibility. The transparent design allows you to eat and drink whatever you like during treatment, simplifying brushing and flossing. Patients often report that Invisalign aligners are far more comfortable than metal braces.
Traditional Metal Braces
The most commonly used form of braces in orthodontics is traditional metal braces, which are now more comfortable than ever, thanks to advances in materials. Constructed from top-quality stainless steel, these braces use brackets and archwires to correct teeth alignment. They also offer the option to include colorful elastics, allowing for a personalized, fun look during treatment.
