Explore Your Bracing Options
At Montana Smiles Orthodontics, we offer two fantastic options to help you achieve your perfect smile: metal braces and clear braces.
Metal Braces
Metal braces have long set the standard for orthodontic treatment because they are proven effective and durable. They consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires that gently move your teeth into the desired position over time. Today's metal braces are more comfortable and efficient than ever before, with smaller brackets and advanced technology that makes the treatment process smoother.
Strength & Customization
One of the key advantages of metal braces is their strength. They are highly durable and can withstand the daily wear and tear that comes with eating and speaking. Additionally, metal braces are very effective at correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from simple alignment problems to more complex bite discrepancies. The predictability and control that metal braces offer make them a reliable choice for achieving excellent results.
Fun Personalization Options
Another benefit of metal braces is the opportunity for customization. Patients can choose from a variety of colored elastics to make their braces more fun and personalized. This is especially appealing to younger patients who enjoy expressing their individuality through their braces.
Clear Braces
Clear braces work like traditional metal braces but with a significant aesthetic advantage. Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. Clear braces are ideal for teens and adults who want a straight smile without the noticeable appearance of metal braces.
Discreet & Effective
They offer the same effectiveness and durability as metal braces while being less conspicuous, helping you feel more confident throughout your treatment. Clear braces are perfect for those who prioritize a more discreet orthodontic experience.
Your Path to a Perfect Smile
Starting your orthodontic journey with Montana Smiles Orthodontics is easy and straightforward.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Tools
We will take x-rays and photographs to get a complete understanding of your dental structure. These diagnostic tools help us create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Dr. Hecht will explain the different treatment options available to you, including metal braces and clear braces, and help you decide which is the best fit for your lifestyle and goals.
Starting Your Treatment
Once you decide on the treatment, we will schedule your first appointment to place your braces. This process involves attaching the brackets to your teeth and connecting them with a wire.
Our team will ensure you are comfortable and understand how to care for your braces.
Regular Adjustments & Monitoring
Throughout your treatment, you'll visit our office regularly for adjustments and to monitor your progress.
These appointments are crucial to ensure your teeth are moving correctly and to make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
