Types of Braces We Offer in West Des Moines, IA

Our practice offers a variety of braces options to cater to the needs, lifestyles, and treatment goals of each patient.

Traditional Metal Braces

The most common type of braces, traditional metal braces have been a reliable choice for decades. Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces straighten teeth using metal brackets and archwires. They are durable, effective, and offer a cost-efficient solution for various orthodontic issues.

Clear Ceramic Braces

For patients seeking a more discreet option, clear ceramic braces offer the effectiveness of traditional braces with the added benefit of blending in with the natural color of your teeth. These braces are popular among teens and adults who wish to maintain a more natural appearance during treatment.

 

For patients looking for clear aligner treatment, we’re also proud to offer Invisalign® clear aligners. 

Personalized Braces Treatment Plans

We understand that orthodontic treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Our experienced orthodontic team works closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses specific orthodontic treatment goals while considering your individual lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.

We utilize the latest in orthodontic technology and techniques to ensure efficient, comfortable, and effective treatment. From the initial consultation to the final adjustment, our team is committed to excellence at every step of your orthodontic journey.

The Health Benefits of Braces

Beyond improving the appearance of your smile, braces play a crucial role in correcting bite issues, improving oral health, and preventing future dental problems. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease, while a properly aligned bite can alleviate issues related to chewing, speaking, and jaw discomfort.
