Services Offered

At Ortho South Calera, a wide range of orthodontic services are available to cater to different needs:

Clear Aligners: The Modern Solution

Clear aligners are an innovative alternative to traditional braces. They are custom-made, removable, and virtually invisible. Here's why they're a great choice:

• Comfort: Smooth and comfortable to wear, clear aligners cause less irritation than metal braces.
• Convenience: Easy to remove for eating and cleaning, aligners fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
• Discreet: Almost invisible, making them perfect for adults and teens who want to maintain a natural appearance.
• How They Work: Clear aligners apply gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set.
• Advantages Over Traditional Braces: Clear aligners offer numerous advantages, including eating whatever you like, easier oral hygiene, and a more comfortable fit. They are also ideal for those who want a less noticeable treatment option.

Traditional Braces: The Reliable Solution

Traditional braces are a time-tested, highly effective solution for achieving a straight, healthy smile. They consist of metal brackets and wires attached to the teeth and are periodically adjusted to move them into their correct positions gradually. Here's why they remain a trusted choice:

• Effectiveness: Traditional braces are highly effective for many orthodontic issues, from minor misalignments to complex dental problems. They offer precise control over tooth movement, ensuring comprehensive correction.
• Durability: Made from strong, high-quality materials, traditional braces are durable and reliable, handling even the most challenging orthodontic cases.
• Consistency: Unlike removable aligners, braces always work because they are fixed to your teeth. This consistency ensures that progress is steady and predictable.
• Versatility: Braces can treat patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. They are particularly beneficial for younger patients whose dental structures are still developing.
• How They Work: Braces apply continuous pressure to move teeth into their desired positions over time. Regular adjustments by an orthodontist ensure that the treatment progresses as planned, with precise alterations made to guide teeth into alignment.
• Advantages Over Clear Aligners: Traditional braces are ideal for treating complex dental issues and can sometimes achieve results faster than clear aligners. They do not require the discipline of remembering to wear them, making them a practical choice for younger patients. Additionally, they can be customized with different colors for a personalized touch.

Traditional braces provide a reliable, effective means of achieving a confident, beautiful smile, making them a steadfast choice for orthodontic treatment.

Braces Care Kit

Ortho South Calera provides a comprehensive list of the best items to put in your personal braces care kit to help you maintain your braces. This kit includes everything you need to keep your braces clean and in good condition:

• Toothbrush and Floss: These are special tools designed for braces. They make it easier to clean around brackets and wires, ensuring that teeth stay healthy during treatment.
• Wax: To protect your gums from irritation caused by brackets and wires. Wax can be applied to any uncomfortable areas, providing immediate relief.
• Mirror: A mirror helps you check hard-to-see areas and ensure that your teeth and braces are thoroughly cleaned.
• How to Use It: Regular use of these braces care kit tools will help prevent cavities and gum disease, ensuring smooth treatment progress.

Braces for Kids 

Early orthodontic treatment can significantly affect a child's oral health. Starting young allows for timely intervention, which can prevent more severe issues down the line. At Ortho South Calera, we provide braces tailored to children's needs, ensuring their comfort and effective treatment.

• Early Orthodontic Treatment: Initiating treatment during childhood can guide the growth and development of the jaw and teeth, preventing the need for more extensive treatment in the future.
• Benefits of Starting Young: Early intervention can correct bite issues, create space for crowded teeth, and improve the smile's overall appearance. Addressing dental issues early on can also help boost a child's confidence and self-esteem.

Adult Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment isn't just for kids. Adults can benefit greatly from both traditional braces and clear aligners. Clear aligners, in particular, offer a virtually invisible way to correct dental issues, making them a popular choice among adults.

• Options for Adults: Adult orthodontics can address various issues, from minor adjustments to significant realignments. Both traditional braces and clear aligners are effective options for adults seeking to improve their smile.
• Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces: While traditional braces are highly effective for orthodontic cases, clear aligners offer a more aesthetically pleasing option. Aligners are particularly favored by adults who wish to maintain a professional appearance during treatment.
