Straightening Teeth Without Braces

Most people are now aware of the fact that some orthodontic treatment can be performed with clear aligners, instead of braces.  Invisalign, of course, is the brand name that most people are familiar with, because the company advertises in a wide variety of venues, including electronic and social media.  What most people don't know is that there are other types of aligners, as well, and some of those may be more cost effective than Invisalign.  Any decision about what type of aligners might be appropriate for a particular patient can be determined during a consultation, and Dr. Sondhi and Dr. Biggs would be able to give you a preliminary idea about what your options with aligner therapy would be.

So, if you always wanted to know if any improvement in the alignment of your teeth might be possible without braces, please let any of our Sondhi-Biggs Orthodontics team members know, and they will schedule a consultation appointment for you.  At that time, we can also give you a preliminary estimate of what the cost of treatment might be, depending on which type of aligner system might be appropriate for your treatment.
