What orthodontic treatment options are available today?
Modern orthodontics is less about one appliance for everyone and more about matching the tool to the bite, the age, and the lifestyle. These are the core orthodontic treatment options we rely on, each with its own detailed page.
- LightForce braces: ceramic brackets 3D-printed for each tooth and bonded in a single tray.
- Invisalign: removable aligners for kids, teens, and adults, mapped from an iTero scan.
- Invisalign Palatal Expander: a removable way to widen a narrow upper arch, with no keys or screws.
- DentalMonitoring: quick check-ins from home using your phone and a ScanBox pro, so you make fewer trips to the office.
Which types of braces do we offer?
When parents ask about types of braces, they often picture rows of shiny metal. Our practice focuses on LightForce, translucent brackets designed from a digital scan so each one fits its tooth precisely.
Because they blend with natural tooth color, they’re clear braces that teens are comfortable wearing in school photos. They still give Dr. Gostovich the fixed control a complex bite sometimes needs.
All brackets are placed at once with indirect bonding, which keeps the first appointment efficient. For families who want clear braces without guesswork, it’s a precise and modern place to start.
Braces and Invisalign: how do you choose?
Both correct crowding, gaps, overbites, and crossbites. The deciding factors are usually the complexity of the case, how consistently aligners would be worn, and plain personal preference.
- ✓Brackets make sense if you’d rather not think about wear time at all.
- ✓Aligners make sense if removing them for meals, sports, and events matters to you.
- ✓Experience matters either way: Dr. Gostovich is an Invisalign Platinum+ provider with nearly 1,500 aligner cases treated.
Plenty of households use both, with braces and Invisalign split between siblings, or aligners for a parent while a teen wears brackets. Because one specialist offers braces and Invisalign under the same roof, comparing them takes a single visit.
