Traditional braces are one of the most effective ways to straighten moderately to severely misaligned teeth. They consist of individual brackets made from metal or clear ceramic, secured to the front of the teeth and connected by a pliable archwire. The wire places pressure on the teeth to progressively shift them into alignment.

If you looking for a more discreet method of care, you may consider Invisalign®, which involves the use of a series of clear plastic aligners. These orthodontic trays fit snugly over the teeth, incrementally bringing them into alignment. Invisalign is considered more comfortable than traditional braces and can be just as effective for qualifying patients.
Retainers are custom designed to fit snugly around the teeth and to help maintain their position following orthodontic treatment. Different types of retainers are available, including clear acrylic trays or metal wires attached to a plastic base. When properly worn, retainers prevent the need for re-treatment and keep your smile looking beautiful for decades to come.
Dental appliances, such as headgears, are used to fix more complicated alignment issues such as overbites and underbites. With innovations in orthodontics and an improved level of care, these appliances are more subtle and comfortable than ever, allowing patients to straighten their teeth without wearing bulky pieces of equipment.

Dr. Li is a great orthodontist! I would give him 10 stars if I could. He has done an awesome job with my daughter who in my opinion was a difficult case. He knows what he is doing and puts his heart in his work. So far he has treated two of my children and will definitely have a third one see him. He has helped my children achieve a beautiful smile.
