Orthodontics
A straight, well-aligned smile is about more than looks; it’s also essential for good oral health. At Pelican Dental, we offer comprehensive orthodontic treatment for teens and adults, including traditional bracket-and-wire braces and Invisalign clear aligners, to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile.
Why Orthodontics Matters
Misaligned teeth can cause more than cosmetic concerns. Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. An improper bite can lead to jaw discomfort, uneven tooth wear, and even speech issues. Orthodontic treatment corrects these issues, improving both appearance and function.
Our Orthodontic Treatment Options
We offer two proven orthodontic solutions to fit different needs and lifestyles:
Traditional Bracket-and-Wire Braces
Traditional braces have been the standard for decades and remain one of the most reliable methods for correcting dental misalignment. Using a system of metal brackets and wires, they apply steady pressure to gradually move teeth into their correct positions. They’re especially effective for more complex cases and are trusted by patients of all ages.
- Highly effective for mild to severe misalignment
- Brackets and wires provide durable, predictable results
- Options for tooth-colored brackets or colorful elastics
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to shift teeth discreetly. Because they’re removable, patients can eat their favorite foods and maintain their usual brushing and flossing routines without hassle. Invisalign is best for those who want a more subtle treatment option while still achieving great results.
- Nearly invisible for a discreet look
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Comfortable, snug fit with custom aligners
