Wondering what to do in Cleveland this summer? There’s so shortage of fun events, especially during the summer festival season. From the Hessler Street Fair to the Labor Day Oktoberfest, Cleveland is an exciting place to be this season, and Dr. Andy can make your summer even better with a beautiful smile through orthodontics!

Finding the Braces that Suit You Best

While the traditional metal braces are still the most affordable option – and even now come with optional colorful bands to show off your style – there are several other types of corrective orthodontics for you to choose from to get your best summer smile. The top alternatives to traditional metal include:

  • Ceramic Braces

Looking for a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces? Ceramic braces are for you! Made just like metal braces in every way except for the brackets, ceramics are made to blend in with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable. Optional tooth-colored wires are also available.

  • Hidden/Lingual Braces

Hidden, or lingual, braces are secured behind your teeth rather than in front, making them an excellent option for anyone looking to straighten their teeth with no visible signs at all. Hidden braces are the perfect choice if you’re in need of orthodontics but don’t want anyone to even know you’re wearing them.

  • Clear Braces/Aligners

Also known as “invisible” braces, clear braces are a series of clear aligners that are customized for your smile. Every few weeks, you’ll receive a new set of aligners that completely replace the need or metal wires, brackets, and rubber bands.

Faster Treatment Options

Once you’ve selected the right braces for you, Dr. Andy can help you get the smile you’ve always wanted even faster through special treatment options. The time of your orthodontic treatment can be significantly reduced with our special, easy-to-use hand-held AcceleDent Aura device. Ask us for more information!
