i-Braces
Dealing with crooked teeth is no fun. Not only do they impact your smile, but they also have several significant effects on your oral health as well. Fortunately, crooked teeth can be corrected. The traditional treatment, however, is not always ideal. Not many people like the idea of having a shiny metal smile. Because of this, they often avoid treatment, preferring to live with crooked teeth rather than have their smile filled with metal brackets and wires. Today, Naborowski Orthodontics is proud to offer an orthodontic treatment that allows for the correction of your teeth without being seen thanks to I-Braces.
What Are i-Braces?i-Braces are also commonly called lingual braces. This means that they are not attached to the front surfaces of your teeth but the backsides. The placement of the braces may be reversed, but the ultimate goals of your treatment are still the same. i-Braces still use brackets and wires to move your teeth into proper alignment, but they are almost completely hidden from view in your mouth. In fact, most people might not even know that you are wearing them unless you tell them. With the use of our state of the art dental technology, we can completely customize your treatment to your specific needs, helping to ensure the best results possible by the time your treatment is complete.

Adults who work in fields where they are in front of clients or customers all day.

Those who play woodwind instruments.

Most healthy orthodontic patients are good candidates for i-Braces. However, certain types of bite issues can prevent this solution from being ideal.

A thorough exam will help us to determine if I-Braces are truly the best solution for your specific situation.
