When people think of orthodontic treatment, traditional braces often come to mind. However, advancements in orthodontic technology have led to a variety of alternative appliances that offer effective solutions for achieving a straighter smile. At Clemente Orthodontics, we understand that each patient has unique needs and preferences. That’s why we offer a range of orthodontic appliances beyond braces, providing personalized treatment options for our patients in New City, NY and Woodcliff Lake and Ridgewood, NJ to suit every smile. Join us as we explore the innovative alternative appliances available for orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign® Treatment

Invisalign® has transformed orthodontic treatment with its discreet and comfortable design. These clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth, making them ideal for individuals who desire a more discreet orthodontic solution. Custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, Invisalign® aligners gently shift the teeth into alignment using controlled pressure. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, allowing for easier oral hygiene and the ability to enjoy favorite foods without restrictions. Invisalign offers patients the opportunity to attain a straighter smile while experiencing minimal disruption to their everyday routines. Being recognized as a Diamond Plus Invisalign® Provider signifies that our orthodontists rank among the top 1% nationwide in utilizing this cutting-edge technology to treat patients.

Braces Treatment

Braces are a tried-and-true orthodontic treatment option for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Traditional metal braces consist of brackets, wires and bands that work together to gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions. While metal braces are highly effective, patients may also choose ceramic braces for a more aesthetic alternative. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires that blend in with the natural teeth, offering a less noticeable orthodontic solution. With braces, patients can achieve a straighter smile and improved oral health.

Retainers Treatment

Retainers play a crucial role in orthodontic treatment by maintaining the results achieved with braces or clear aligners. After completing active orthodontic treatment, patients wear retainers to prevent the teeth from shifting back into their original positions. Retainers are custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth and may be removable or fixed in place. Patients typically wear retainers full-time initially and then transition to wearing them only at night. By wearing retainers as directed by their orthodontist, patients can preserve their straighter smile for years to come.

Mouth Guards

Mouth guards are essential for protecting the teeth during sports and physical activities. Whether playing contact sports or participating in recreational activities, wearing a mouth guard can help prevent dental injuries such as broken or knocked-out teeth, lip and cheek injuries, and jaw fractures. Custom-made mouth guards offer superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter options. At Clemente Orthodontics, we provide custom mouth guards designed to fit snugly over the teeth and provide maximum protection during athletic activities. By wearing a mouth guard, patients can enjoy their favorite sports with confidence while safeguarding their oral health.
