Smiling patients of all ages at Lakeshore Orthodontics

Treatments

Metal Braces

The most common type of braces, modern metal brackets are smaller and more comfortable than before. They provide reliable, efficient tooth movement for children, teens, and adults who want a predictable path to a straight smile.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic or tooth-colored braces blend with your smile for a less noticeable look while still delivering effective tooth movement. They are a popular choice for patients seeking a more discreet fixed appliance.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners use a series of removable, custom trays to straighten teeth gradually. They let you eat and clean normally and are an excellent option for patients who want a low‑profile treatment.

Invisalign

Invisalign® uses 3‑D imaging to create a sequence of custom clear aligners. Each tray is worn for about two weeks, allowing discreet, controlled movement with minimal impact on daily life.

Iconix Champagne Gold Braces

Iconix Champagne Gold Braces combine the strength of metal brackets with a subtle, champagne‑gold finish for a more cosmetic appearance while maintaining dependable tooth movement.

Carriere Self‑Ligating Brackets

The Carriere Self‑Ligating Bracket System is designed for comfort and efficiency. By reducing friction and the need for elastic ties, it can shorten treatment time for many patients.

Palatal Expanders

A palatal expander gently widens the upper jaw by applying pressure to the molars at adjustment. It creates space for alignment and can help correct crossbites and crowded bites when used at the right stage of development.

Surgical Orthodontics

Surgical orthodontics, or orthognathic surgery, is used to correct severe jaw and bite discrepancies. We coordinate closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons to plan combined surgical and orthodontic care when it will improve function and facial balance.
