Orthodontic Treatment Options

Common orthodontic treatment options include conventional, ceramic, lingual, and clean braces.

If your jaws are not aligned, your teeth are crooked or badly spaced or you are just unhappy with the appearance or alignment of your smile, orthodontic treatment might be right for you. Our San Francisco dentist offers comprehensive orthodontic treatment options for patients of all ages

Orthodontic treatments can include:

• Conventional metal braces, which can be used to treat virtually all malocclusions, including overbites, underbites, and crossbites
• Ceramic braces, which are used much like conventional braces but have ceramic brackets for a more aesthetically pleasing look
• Lingual braces, which are similar to conventional braces, but applied to the tongue side of the teeth
• Invisible clear aligners, which use clear trays to reposition teeth
