Teeth Straightening Treatments at Orthodontics of Santa Barbara

We offer a variety of treatment options to meet the needs of every patient we see at Orthodontics of Santa Barbara. Whether you need traditional braces or want to explore less visible teeth straightening options, we can help.

Invisalign^Ⓡ Clear Braces

Invisalign^Ⓡ clear braces are the nearly invisible treatment option for straightening your teeth. They're the practical option for adults and teenagers looking for the most discreet teeth straightening option that helps you maintain a natural-looking smile, while you receive treatment. Invisalign® clear aligners are comfortable and removable, as well, so they're perfect for anyone who wants to avoid some of the restrictions other treatments may require.

Clear Porcelain Brackets

Porcelain brackets are another form of clear or natural-tooth colored braces that make them nearly invisible, while being permanently affixed to your teeth until treatment has been completed. They're a great option for patients looking for a natural appearance, whatever their age.

Traditional Braces

Traditional Metal Braces are the most familiar form of orthodontics treatments, with metal brackets and colorful elastics. They're strong, durable, and deliver fast results for adults, teenagers, and children. Plus, if you love personalization, brackets and elastics come in a variety of color choices to match your personal sense of style.

Retainers

Orthodontic retainers are an appliance designed to help keep your straight smile looking perfect. Each retainer is individually crafted to match your mouth comfortably and affordably to help keep your smile straight for life.

We treat every patient with honesty and gentleness to ensure a safe, healthy, happy treatment experience from the initial consultation until your last visit. So whether you're in need of metal braces, Invisalign®, retainers, ceramic braces, or need a consultation, we are here to help!
