At Mellion Orthodontics, we offer advanced orthodontic care to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile. Whether you are looking for traditional braces or a more discreet option like Invisalign® aligners, we tailor every treatment plan to fit your unique needs and goals.
Braces: Tried and True
Traditional braces are one of the most reliable ways to correct significant misalignment or bite issues. This method uses brackets and wires to gently shift teeth into proper alignment. Braces are particularly effective for patients with complex dental conditions that require more precise adjustments.
Benefits of Traditional Braces:
- Effective for a wide range of alignment problems
- Suitable for children, teens, and adults
- Durable and long-lasting
- Can correct complex bite issues and overcrowding
Invisalign Clear Aligners: A Modern Approach
If you are looking for a more discreet and flexible option, Invisalign clear aligners are a popular choice. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed when eating, brushing, or for special occasions. Our orthodontists and team will guide you through every step of your Invisalign treatment, ensuring that the aligners are comfortable and effective.
Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners:
- Clear and nearly invisible
- Removable for easy cleaning and eating
- Smooth and comfortable design
- Customized for your unique smile
Both treatment options provide exceptional results, and our orthodontists will help you choose the best solution based on your dental needs and lifestyle.

FAQ
Do braces or Invisalign clear aligners hurt?
Both treatments can cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments or when switching to a new set of aligners. However, this usually subsides within a few days.
Can I eat normally with braces or Invisalign aligners?
With braces, you will need to avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods to prevent damage to the brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat normally, but it is essential to remove the aligners before meals.
How do I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?
Good oral hygiene is crucial. If you have braces, you should brush and floss carefully around the brackets. For Invisalign clear aligners, remove the aligners when brushing and flossing, and clean the trays regularly to prevent bacteria buildup.
What happens after I finish my orthodontic treatment?
After completing treatment with either braces or Invisalign clear aligners, you will likely need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Our orthodontists will provide guidance on how often to wear your retainer to keep your new smile in place.
