Which Orthodontist Offers Invisalign and Braces?

If you’re trying to figure out which orthodontist offers Invisalign and braces, look no further than Mint Orthodontics. We specialize in custom orthodontic care for kids, teens, and adults, and every treatment starts with a complete evaluation so we can build the plan that works best for you.

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place. Each aligner tray is custom made to fit comfortably over your teeth.

A few reasons patients love Invisalign:

  • It’s far less noticeable than traditional braces
  • You can take it out to eat and brush your teeth
  • The smooth material feels comfortable in your mouth
  • There are no metal brackets or wires

Wearing your aligners for the recommended hours each day is key to getting the results you want.

Braces for Effective Bite Alignment

Braces use brackets and wires to shift your teeth gently over time. At Mint Orthodontics, you can choose traditional metal braces or discreet ceramic braces.

Metal braces are strong and reliable, and they work well for more complex orthodontic issues. Ceramic braces use tooth colored brackets, so they’re less noticeable. Braces are often the better choice for cases with significant crowding, bite concerns, or major tooth movement.

Treatment for Every Age

Braces and Invisalign work for kids, teens, and adults alike. Early checkups can help catch jaw or bite issues while kids are still growing. Teens get real benefits from either treatment, and adults can improve their smile and oral health at any age. It’s never too late to start.

How to Choose the Right Orthodontist

A few things worth considering:

  • The provider’s qualifications and experience
  • Whether they use advanced scanning and planning technology
  • If both braces and Invisalign are offered
  • How much individualized attention and communication you’ll get
  • What past patients say about their outcomes

A consultation is the best way to understand an orthodontist’s approach and see if the practice is the right fit for you.

Invisalign vs. Braces: What’s the Difference?

Visibility. Invisalign is clear. Braces are more visible.

Comfort. Aligners feel smooth and are easy to remove. Braces take a bit of getting used to at first.

Treatment time. Your timeline depends on how complex your case is, no matter which treatment you choose.

Cleaning and wearing. Wearing your aligners consistently is key to good results. With braces, you’ll want to take extra care brushing around your brackets.

Best fit. Invisalign tends to work well for mild to moderate concerns. Braces are often a better fit for more complex cases.

How Orthodontic Treatment Works

Treatment usually starts with a consultation, photos, scans, and a full assessment. From there, our orthodontist builds a treatment plan around your smile.

Regular appointments help track your progress along the way, with adjustments made as needed. Once treatment wraps up, retainers hold your teeth in place and help prevent them from shifting back.

Cost and Payment Options

Your cost depends on a few factors, including how complex your case is, which treatment you choose, and how long treatment takes. Mint Orthodontics offers payment plans to make the process feel manageable, and our team can walk you through your insurance details and available benefits.
