Salem Braces
Empower metal and clear braces in Salem are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Braces don’t require complex technology or expensive equipment, so they’re a cost-effective orthodontic option.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Salem Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with patients and orthodontists in Salem and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, this treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Our in-house clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Thomas to reach your smile goals.
Clear aligners can only work if you follow the recommended guidelines. Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are great for correcting most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, clear aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. James Thomas at Thomas Orthodontics in Salem will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
