Invisalign®
The Invisalign® System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
The Wilson Appliance
The Wilson appliance is used in conjunction with braces, it is placed in the mouth with only four braces on the top teeth, and worn with elastics to correct the bite. One of the benefits of the Wilson appliance is that it allows Dr Ohmart to correct the bite before all of the braces are on, therefore the patient does not have to wear full braces for as long a period of time.
