Braces we offer

Metal braces

Traditional metal braces are more comfortable today than ever. Made of high-grade stainless steel with the options of adding colorful elastic ties.

In addition to standard metal braces we can use ‘Self-Ligating’ braces for certain cases. Dr. Gilbert will discuss his recommendations for you at your appointment.

Clear Braces

Ceramic brackets are the go-to choice for those with aesthetic concerns. They incorporate the strength and function of traditional braces with the appeal of translucent brackets that blend in with your teeth.

Made with an innovative ceramic material, these brackets are durable as well as attractive. They move teeth as efficiently as traditional brackets and are safe for patients of all ages. Ceramic brackets can give you the same great orthodontic results without the need for conspicuous metal brackets

Clear Aligners

Clear aligner treatment is the perfect option for people looking to improve their smile comfortably and discreetly. With Gilbert Orthodontics your aligner treatment will be tailored to you. We don’t limit ourselves; instead, we choose to work with many of the big names in aligner treatment like 3M Clarity, Invisalign to ensure that your aligners are best suited to your case.

We even have our own in-house aligner system, GO Smile Clear Aligners, which offer many of the same advantages as Invisalign. Our state-of-the-art intraoral scanners capture the contours of your teeth in high definition. We then create a 3D model and Dr. Gilbert meticulously plans each tooth movement. We put our 3D printers to work to get your aligners made at a much faster rate than larger companies and have none of the hassles of shipping.

The benefits of aligners include:

  • Comfort- smooth aligners means less discomfort
  • Fits with your lifestyle- they can be removed for big occasions or important meetings
  • Fewer appointments

  • No food restrictions because they’re removable

  • Aligners make it easier to brush and floss than braces
  • Safe for people with metal allergies
  • They’re the clear choice because they’re virtually invisible

Why choose GO Smile?

  • Faster turnaround time – you won’t have to wait a month to start treatment
  • Easier to make changes or replace an aligner during treatment
  • More affordable
  • Made in the USA
  • Customizable
  • Ability to have a hybrid treatment option
  • Fully designed by Dr. Gilbert, every step of the way

Early treatment

As a parent, it’s not always easy to know if your child will need orthodontic treatment. While there is no exact age for children to begin orthodontics treatment, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic visit at around the age of seven. By this age, most children have a mix of both adult and baby teeth. This will allow the orthodontist to assess whether or not early intervention is needed to correct problems with the teeth and jaws, and potentially avoid surgery down the road.

Retainers

  • Wear your retainer at all times, unless we instruct otherwise.
  • Take your retainer out when you eat, and always put it back in its case! (Most appliances are lost in school lunchrooms or restaurants.)
  • Clean the retainer thoroughly with a toothbrush and liquid soap. Use warm but not hot water. Brushing retainers removes the plaque, and eliminates odors. Dry your retainers before storing to avoid mildew.
  • When your retainer is not in your mouth, it should ALWAYS be in its case. Pets love to chew on them!
  • Initially, you may find it difficult to speak. Practice speaking, reading, or singing out loud to get used to it faster.
  • Retainers are breakable, so treat yours with care. If your retainer gets lost or broken, call us immediately.
  • If you have any questions or concerns about your retainer, or you believe it needs adjusting, call us. Do not try to adjust it yourself.
  • Always bring your retainer to your appointments.
  • Retainer replacements are expensive, but with proper care they will last for years!
  • Remove your retainer when you go swimming.
  • Keep retainers away from hot water, hot car dashboards, pockets, the washing machine, and napkins.
