Services
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic options, these braces blend naturally with your smile while providing effective alignment. Our practice offers 3M Clarity ADVANCED Ceramic Braces with no price difference compared to metal braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into proper position. This nearly invisible option suits active lifestyles, allowing easy removal for eating and cleaning. We utilize digital 3D scans to create personalized treatment plans with predictable outcomes.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces correct crowding by attaching to the back of teeth, making them completely invisible from the front. This technique-sensitive option requires specialized training, which Dr. Albea has mastered through advanced education and clinical experience.
