Invisalign and Braces (Orthodontics)
Get a straighter smile with Invisalign or traditional braces.
Braces are a type of dental appliance that helps correct teeth alignment. They work by attaching to the teeth and using adjustable pressure to slowly move them into the correct position.
Invisalign is a clear retainer mould that adjusts the position of your teeth incrementally. At Ventana Family Dental, we offer both options and go on the journey with you from installation to realignments with the destination being the smile of your dreams.
Traditional Braces
