At Suffolk Braces, we offer both traditional metal braces and clear aligners. All of these options gently and effectively straighten the teeth for a healthier, more beautiful smile.
Find Your Perfect Fit
No matter what your personal goals are, Dr. Taylor can help you determine an option that will work for you. From traditional metal braces to virtually invisible clear aligners, we have a solution for every patient, every lifestyle, and every budget.
How to Choose Between Braces and Clear Aligners
Choosing between braces and clear aligners comes down to your bite, your habits, and your priorities. Traditional metal braces are bonded to your teeth and work around the clock, which makes them a dependable choice for many types of bite problems and for patients who prefer not to manage removable trays. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which appeals to many adults and teens who want a discreet look and the flexibility to take them out for meals and brushing. They do require commitment: aligners only work when they are worn as directed. During your complimentary consultation in Suffolk, VA, Dr. Taylor will examine your teeth, review your scans, and recommend the approach he believes will serve your oral health, function, and appearance best. You will also learn about timelines, appointment schedules, and payment options so you can compare each path clearly before deciding.
