Types of Braces
Traditional Metal Braces
For decades, traditional metal braces have been the most common to correct misaligned teeth. They are made of metal brackets attached to the teeth, with wires adjusted over time to move them into their desired position. Metal braces are a highly effective treatment option for many orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, misaligned teeth, and bite problems.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are a popular orthodontic treatment option that uses clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires to straighten teeth. They are an excellent alternative to traditional metal braces. Clear braces work like conventional braces, but their clear or tooth-colored appearance makes them less noticeable. At Red & Ritchey Orthodontics, we offer clear braces as one of our orthodontic treatment options.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment option that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. The aligners are custom-made for each patient using advanced 3D imaging technology, and they gradually move teeth into their desired position over time. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes them popular for adults and teens who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment option. At Red & Ritchey Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign as one of our orthodontic treatment options.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment, also known as an interceptive treatment, is designed for children between 7 and 11. This treatment corrects developing orthodontic issues before they become more severe and require more extensive treatment later. Early orthodontic treatment can include braces or other orthodontic appliances to guide the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. Early treatment can also help to create more space for permanent teeth, correct bite issues, and reduce the risk of dental trauma.
Orthodontic Services for Adults
Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teenagers. Many adults undergo orthodontic treatment to improve their smile and oral health. Red & Ritchey Orthodontics offers orthodontic services in Joliet, Wilmington, Minooka, Morris, and New Lenox, IL, for adults, including traditional braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Invisalign.
