York Braces

Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. We attach metal or ceramic brackets to your teeth, then connect them with wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Through regular adjustments with Dr. Ross, these brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the desired positions.

York braces are an excellent choice for correcting tooth issues from simple to complex. Braces can sometimes close gaps and align teeth faster than other options might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced. In addition, braces don’t require some of the more complicated technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, making York braces a cost-effective orthodontic option for patients on a budget.

York Invisalign

Instead of using brackets and bands, our York Invisalign system uses clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth until they are straight. Invisalign is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists and is currently the top alternative to traditional braces.

Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over your teeth. The nearly invisible trays are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series in order to keep the teeth moving in the direction we want them to. Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day during the whole course of treatment. The Invisalign system can only work if these recommended guidelines are followed exactly! If you don’t wear the aligners as directed can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.

Invisalign works best when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, Invisalign may not be a viable option. A free consultation with David Ross Orthodontics will be able to determine if you’re eligible for Invisalign.
