New Patients Welcome!
Types of Braces
Blue Wave Orthodontics is pleased to offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options thanks to advancements in technology. In addition to traditional metal braces, we also provide clear braces and Invisalign aligners for those who prefer a more discreet option. Our team, including Dr. Peter Maro, Dr. Meghan Graham and Dr. Danielle Piano, will assist you in choosing the best treatment for your needs.
Metal Braces
We utilize the In-Ovation self-ligating bracket system in our practice, which can reduce treatment time by four to six months. This system employs a gate system to secure the wire, rather than traditional colored ties, resulting in more efficient tooth movement and easier maintenance of oral hygiene.
Ceramic Braces
Our ceramic braces are constructed from clear materials, making them less noticeable on your teeth compared to metal braces. This makes them a popular choice for teenage and adult patients who are concerned about aesthetics. However, it is important to note that ceramic braces require more diligent oral hygiene due to their larger size. Additionally, our ceramic braces feature the same gate technology as our metal braces, which can lead to quicker treatment times.
Invisible Braces
Clear appliances like Invisalign use invisible, removable aligners to straighten teeth. They are undetectable and allow you to eat and drink normally. Brushing and flossing are easier, and they are comfortable without metal that can cause mouth abrasions.
Invisible Braces (Lingual Braces)
Lingual braces offer a discreet alternative for those who prefer not to wear traditional braces or cannot use Invisalign. Placed behind the teeth, they are virtually invisible to others. These custom braces are made using advanced technology to fit your unique dental needs. Your personalized treatment plan, designed by Dr. Peter Maro or Dr. Meghan Graham or Dr. Danielle Piano, ensures optimal results. Lingual braces provide efficient tooth movement and excellent aesthetics.
