Orthodontic treatment with braces is one of the most popular ways to get a beautiful healthy smile. A combination of brackets positioned carefully on your teeth and specially formed wires provide constant gentle forces that move the teeth into the correct position over the course of treatment.
At Smiles for Maine we have different types of braces to suit your look and your lifestyle. Your braces can be bold with changeable colors, subtly blend in with the natural color of your teeth, or even hidden behind your teeth for a discreet, “barely there” look.
Metal Braces
Traditional braces have undergone a number of positive changes over the years, with designs that make them more comfortable and less noticeable to others. These tried-and-true orthodontic techniques can work wonders for straightening your teeth and improving your smile.
Clear Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. Designed to blend in with the natural color of your teeth, you don’t have to worry about having a “metal-mouth” as you smile straightens.
Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign uses high-tech, 3D computer models of your teeth along with a custom treatment plan from Dr. Brian. Invisalign aligners give you the ultimate freedom - to eat whatever you want, to brush and floss normally, and to experience treatment without anyone knowing!
Mouthguards
Invest in a mouthguard to reduce dental trauma and long-term injury. While a mouthguard won’t guarantee your sports will be risk-free, a custom mouthguard will minimize the risk to your mouth, teeth, and gums. A custom mouthguard is easy to wear because it fits like a glove, made specifically for your teeth!
