Teeth Straightening Options for Adults and Teens

Are you considering teeth straightening options but feeling overwhelmed by all the choices available today? You’re not alone. Modern orthodontics offers more solutions than ever before, making it easier to achieve the best smile you’ve always wanted. Board Certified Orthodontist Dr. Joseph K Ryan, DDS, MSD and McAllen Orthodontic Group has been serving the McAllen, Mission, and Edinburg area with braces and Invisalign for over 40 years, helping thousands of patients discover their ideal teeth straightening solution.

 

Understanding Your Teeth Straightening Options

When it comes to your smile, we believe you deserve nothing less than the best! Visiting the orthodontist is very different than it has been in the past. There are many treatment options available today, and choosing the right one depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and goals.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most effective choices for complex orthodontic cases. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. State of the art metal braces offered at McAllen Orthodontic Group provide:

  • Reliable results for all types of orthodontic issues
  • Cost-effective treatment option
  • Durability throughout the treatment process
  • Customizable colored bands for a fun, personalized touch

 

Clear Braces

For patients who want the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more discreet appearance, clear braces offer an excellent middle ground among the options. These ceramic brackets blend with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable while delivering the same reliable results as metal braces.

 

Invisalign: The Nearly Invisible Solution

Nearly invisible aligners called Invisalign have revolutionized for teens and adults alike. McAllen Orthodontic Group offers both Invisalign and Invisalign Teen treatments, providing:

  • Removable aligners for easy eating and cleaning
  • Virtually invisible appearance
  • Comfortable, smooth plastic construction
  • Predictable results with advanced 3D technology

 

Advanced Technology Enhances All Teeth Straightening Options

3D scanning that eliminates goopy impressions is just one example of how modern technology has improved the orthodontic experience. At McAllen Orthodontic Group, advanced technology ensures more precise treatment planning and better outcomes.
