If you answered “A” five or more times…

You or your loved one is likely a great candidate for Invisalign clear aligners here at Super Braces of Lawrence. This treatment is best suited for teens and adults looking to correct their teeth without having to worry about the appearance of metal braces or the associated adjustment period. It is also the perfect choice if you want to fix small cosmetic adjustments with a nearly invisible appearance. Just keep in mind that Invisalign usually cannot handle complex orthodontic issues. Plus, the aligners are completely removable, meaning you won’t have to worry about any of the dietary restrictions that come with metal braces. Just be sure to remove them before eating or drinking anything!

If you answered “B” five or more times…

You’d most likely benefit from metal braces to craft your ideal smile. Braces are a tried-and-true solution that’s capable of tackling virtually all sorts of orthodontic issues, no matter their severity. Our team offers a variety of braces to choose from for patients of all ages, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, self-litigating braces, phase 1 braces, as well as orthodontic appliances including retainers, palate expanders, and more. Though braces aren’t removable and come with an initial adjustment period, some patients end up preferring the convenience of not having to manage or keep tabs on them, as they would for clear aligners.
