With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile, however due to bacteria accumulation they may cause permanent damage to the teeth due to the inability to keep them clean. The traditional metal products used by Dr Comella were the best technology at the time, however, with the introduction of the SMARTLCIP systems tradional metal systems will be soon outdated technology. Since Dr. Comella wants only to use materials and methods of the highest quality that benefit the patient in every way possible, he has chosen to discontinue traditional metal systems.

Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances
Invisalign®
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing Invisalign because it’s invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. However, there are mechanical limitations to the Invisalign system and Dr. Comella will discuss with you if it is an option that will result in a long term stable result.
