Orthodontic treatments

At Barbara G. Yee DDS, MS, Inc., we offer the following treatments. Our specialist orthodontists will be able to advise you on the best treatment for you.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic method which straightens teeth without the use of braces. Instead, Invisalign works by using sets of aligners, made from clear medical-grade plastic, to move teeth into position. These aligners are custom-made to your teeth to achieve the best result for you.

benefits of Invisalign teen

  • Invisalign Teen® means your son or daughter can get straight teeth without having to deal with uncomfortable metal wires and brackets.
  • The removable aligners make it easy for your teen to keep up their regular oral hygiene routine.
  • Your teen won’t have to worry about missing out on playing sports or musical instruments because they can remove their aligners for these occasions.

how do clear braces work?

Clear braces work just like traditional metal braces. The archwire which connects each of the brackets applies gentle force to move your teeth into position. Although they’re not as easy to clean as Invisalign aligners, which can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing, clear braces will remain discreet throughout your treatment as the ceramic material won’t stain.

Benefits of metal braces

Metal braces are the traditional method of orthodontic treatment and have a number of benefits for our patients:

    • Metal braces are extremely effective. Their method of brackets, archwires and elastics is the base for other orthodontic treatment.
    • Technology has enhanced the effectiveness of metal braces and today the use of smaller brackets means they are more comfortable to wear.

What is V Pro 5?

V Pro 5 is cleared by the FDA and has been demonstrated safe and reliable in U.S. clinical trials. V Pro 5 vibration is a reasonable and safe approach for accelerating tooth movement. In fact, the force applied to teeth during ordinary chewing is at least 200x greater than the force applied with the V Pro 5.
