CLEAR BRACES vs. METAL BRACES
Mystique, which uses the latest aesthetic ceramic technology, provides outstanding results and high translucency. The clear braces are bonded to the tooth just like the ordinary metal braces. Treatment time with the mystique is approximately 12-14 months depending on the difficulty of tooth movement. Adults are asking for invisible (clear) braces today.

INVISALIGN
Invisalign can give you he beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted. It works through a series of invisible aligners that no one can tell you are wearing. So you can smile more during treatment as well as after. And with over 70% of US and Canadian orthodontists now certified to treat with invisalign, it has been proven effective in practices throughout North America.
Invisalign is a series of clear aligner trays custom designed for each patient to straighten the teeth.
You may have anywhere from 12-48 aligners depending on the amount of tooth movement necessary. Initially you are fitted with your first set of trays then you are required to change your trays every two weeks. Generally you will be take home with a few set of tray and then Dr. Kozina will see you every 6 weeks to check tooth movement and provide you with new trays. Your trays are worn 24 hours a day and only removed when brushing your teeth.
NEW E-Z ALIGN
Aligning your teeth could be as easy as 1-2-3
The easy three tray tooth aligner series, is designed for minor tooth alignment of the upper and/or lower front teeth. A slight amount of the outside part of the tooth may have to be removed between the teeth, creating a tiny space between the teeth and allows to tooth to be lined up while wearing the tray. The tray is to be worn 24 hours per day and only removed when you are eating.
Dr. Kozina will determine the length of time necessary for tray A, B or C.
