Treatments: Ceramic Braces, Invisalign, and Lingual Braces

Ceramic braces are an excellent option for anyone who wants to improve their smile discreetly. They are virtually unnoticeable and are a popular choice for teens and adults. At Caroline Albea Orthodontics, we offer ceramic braces that are custom-made to fit each patient's unique needs.

Invisalign is another popular option for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the need for traditional braces. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into place. This option allows patients to maintain good oral hygiene easily, as the aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing.

Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are an excellent choice for adult patients who are looking for limited treatment to correct crowding in their bottom teeth. These braces are invisible when you smile and offer a more discreet alternative to traditional braces.

First Appointment FAQs: Answering Your Questions and Concerns

If you're thinking about getting braces, but you have questions and concerns about the process, we've got you covered. Our team has compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you become more familiar with the orthodontic journey. We understand that cost and time are common concerns, but we also want to address other concerns, such as what to expect during the first appointment and once treatment is complete.

Our Story: From a Home on the Hill to a Thriving Orthodontic Practice

Caroline Albea Orthodontics was once a home on the hill, overlooking the old runway. With plans to build a new house in its place, the home was carefully slid down the hill, where it now sits as our practice. Our office was designed with the goal of keeping the feeling of a comfortable home, and it quickly became a large family project that we took on with the help of John's brother. While tearing down the laundry room, a note was found from the previous owners, indicating that the home had once been used for orthodontic appointments. We believe that this was a sign that we were meant to be here.
