Erie Braces
Braces are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues in Erie. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning braces at our Erie-area offices are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made of metal or ceramic brackets affixed to the teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Erie Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with patients and orthodontists in Erie and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth.
The trays are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks, as directed by Dr. Doleski or Dr. Wolford.
The clear aligners system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20 – 22 hours per day throughout treatment. If you neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. However, for some complex cases, it may not be a good option. A free consultation with Doleski & Wolford Orthodontics in Erie, Lawrence Park, or Corry will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
Find the Treatment for You
Dr. Doleski and Dr. Wolford have years of experience providing customized treatment plans for each individual patient. When you visit our Erie, Lawrence Park, or Corry office for a free consultation, our team will pay special attention to your particular orthodontic needs and your specific tooth shape, lip movement, and face shape.
Using these as the basis for braces or clear aligner treatment results in a beautifully aligned smile that’s just right for you. Schedule your free consultation with Doleski & Wolford Orthodontics to learn more about Erie orthodontics.
