Metal Braces & More
Most patients we treat at The Smile Patio Orthodontics choose traditional metal braces to straighten their teeth.
Metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment, but you have other options, too.
After your first free consultation, Dr. Albaugh will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed Vs. Removable Appliances
At The Smile Patio Orthodontics, we believe you should be well informed about their treatment.
It’s important to understand the difference between fixed and removable appliances.
Fixed appliances, like braces, are attached to your teeth and aren’t taken off until you complete your treatment.
Removable appliances, like Invisalign’s aligner system, are worn about 20-22 hours a day but can be taken off easily.
Besides the obvious differences, Dr. Albaugh uses Invisalign aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems.
At The Smile Patio Orthodontics, we generally use fixed appliances for comprehensive and serious treatment.
