Braces and clear aligners are orthodontic treatment options used to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and support long-term oral health. Through our partnership with Cape Fear Orthodontics, patients of Total Smiles Of Leland can access orthodontic solutions tailored to their age, needs, and lifestyle.
Proper alignment improves more than appearance. It supports easier cleaning, healthier gums, and balanced bite function.
Orthodontic treatment may help address:
Crowded or crooked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
Bite imbalance that affects chewing
Difficulty keeping teeth clean
Increased risk of cavities or gum disease due to misalignment
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Braces are a reliable option for treating mild to complex orthodontic issues.
Benefits of braces include:
Braces may be recommended when more complex tooth or bite movement is required.
Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. They offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for many patients.
Benefits of clear aligners include:
Clear aligners are often a good option for teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment concerns.
