Auburn Braces
Braces in Auburn are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. They can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments, which means overall treatment time may be shorter.
Braces also don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, making them a budget-friendly orthodontic option.
At Thames Orthodontics, our traditional metal braces are one of the most effective tools we have. Made of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to your teeth, they’re connected by wires and small elastics.
Auburn Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Invisalign and 3M Clarity clear aligners are a popular choice with both patients and orthodontists in Auburn, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to braces. Instead of brackets and wires, this system uses a series of clear, removable trays to shift your teeth into place.
Our aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic and custom-fit to your smile. You’ll switch to the next set in your series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Thames to keep your treatment on track.
For the best results, clear aligners should be worn 20–22 hours each day. Skipping wear time can slow your progress and extend treatment.
Invisalign and 3M Clarity clear aligners are effective for many common orthodontic needs; however, some complex cases may be better suited for braces. A free consultation with Dr. Thames at Thames Orthodontics in Auburn will help you find the option that’s right for your smile.
