Self-confidence is important. Studies show that how you feel about yourself can have a measurable impact on your work and social life. Since your smile is such a big part of how you express your self-confidence, it can make a big difference to feel confident about your smile. If you’ve been considering orthodontics, here are 3 ways to straighten your teeth.
1. Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are one of the most popular ways to straighten your teeth because their tried-and-true history of proven results leave little up for debate. Traditional metal braces can treat a wide variety of conditions, ages, and provide results in a surprisingly short time-frame. They can also be more cost-effective compared to some other options. It’s easy to see why so many people choose them.
2. Clear Plastic Aligners
Clear plastic aligners have become increasingly popular over recent decades thanks to their comfort, ease of use, and minimal impact on daily life. If you’re looking for ways to straighten your teeth that won’t interfere with your diet and that are nearly invisible, this is a great option. Because plastic aligners are removable, they do rely heavily on patient compliance, so they may not be recommended to younger patients.
3. Alternative Braces Options
Traditional braces don’t just come in metal! There are also ceramic and clear options for those with metal-allergy concerns or patients who may want an option that is less visible.
Lingual braces are another alternative braces option that can reduce how noticeable they are. Lingual braces have all of the same components of traditional braces, but they are placed on the back of your teeth, where your tongue rests, instead of across the visible front part of your smile.
How to Get Started
If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, the best place to begin is to call and schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. An orthodontist can examine your teeth and talk with you about the results you’d like to see to help you come up with a treatment plan to fit with your goals, lifestyle, and budget.
The smile of your dreams may be closer than you think! Call an orthodontist today to find out how they can help you make your dreams a reality.

Sammy, Connor, the front desk staff, Dental Hygenist and especially Dr. Town are amazing! It’s great to see the same faces everyone I get a cleaning! Sammy makes the experience comfortable and welcome. Connor may be quiet but he always does a great job! The dental hygienist always remembers me and my kids. Sorry I cant remember her name but she knows who I am and that’s what matters:) Thankful for this staff and the great care they give to my family!

I love it here. I have never seen a dental office give flowers to first timers. Everyone was so welcome if. In pain but you guys still made me smile. I told my daughter she need to come there. I love how you guys work with options of payment. Again thanks for making me smile in pain.

We’ve always had a good experience at Stonehaven. The women at the front desk are always cheerful and helpful. I love the hygienists, they always make my children and I feel comfortable and informed. I have pretty high dental anxiety and they’ve never tried to minimize my fears- but they listen to me, and help me feel as comfortable as possible. The dentists and orthodontists have been great! No issues at all. (I just wish my daughter was better at flossing, but we’re working on that!)

"This is my first time at Stonehaven dental. Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. Dr Town came in and visited with me and together we developed a treatment plan to address the issues that were present on my teeth. Couldn't be more happy with the experience with everyone in the office!"
