Braces In Bowling Green

One of the most effective orthodontic tools we have is traditional braces. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires and tiny rubber bands. By applying gentle pressure to your teeth, these brackets, wires, and bands will gradually move the teeth into the positions our doctors want them to be in if you visit our doctors regularly for adjustments.

Braces can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might. Our braces in Bowling Green may be a good choice for correcting complex tooth issues. It is a cost-effective orthodontic option, as they don't require complex technology or expensive equipment as newer treatments do.

Invisalign in Bowling Green

Invisalign is the preferred choice for many patients and dentists alike. The system utilizes removable, plastic aligners that have been custom-made to perfectly fit around your teeth.

The aligner trays of our Bowling Green Invisalign should be changed every one or two weeks in order to ensure your teeth are moving toward their desired position. This provides a convenient alternative to traditional braces with brackets and bands.

For the Invisalign system to be effective and successful in providing the desired results, it is important that patients wear their aligners for 20-22 hours each day throughout their treatment. If neglected, it could slow down the treatment process or hamper their outcome.

To determine if you are eligible for Invisalign, schedule a free consultation with us and we can create a customized plan for you.
