Braces & Orthodontics
Metal, ceramic and clear aligner options to gently straighten teeth for children and adults.
Crooked, crowded or gapped teeth can be straightened at almost any age, and Sky Dental Clinic offers a range of options so treatment fits your lifestyle and budget — from traditional metal braces to more discreet ceramic braces and clear aligners. Metal and ceramic braces work well for a wide range of alignment issues and are adjusted every few weeks as your teeth gradually shift into place. Clear aligners are a nearly invisible, removable alternative that suits many adult patients in particular, since they can be taken out for eating and important occasions. Whichever option fits you, treatment starts with a full assessment of your bite and alignment so Dr. Bertlin can recommend the approach that will get you the healthiest, most comfortable result — not just the option that looks fastest.
What to expect
- An orthodontic assessment of your bite, crowding and alignment
- A recommendation between metal, ceramic, or clear aligner options based on your case
- Regular adjustment visits (for braces) or new aligner sets (for clear aligners) as treatment progresses
- Ongoing check-ins to track progress and comfort
- A retention plan once active treatment is complete, to keep your new smile in place
We provide clear aligners, fitted and monitored in-clinic by Dr. Bertlin from start to finish.
Common questions
- Are braces only for children?
- No — braces and clear aligners both work well for adults too. Many adult patients choose ceramic braces or clear aligners specifically because they're more discreet for everyday work and social life.
- How do I know if I need braces or aligners?
- It depends on your specific alignment and bite. An in-person assessment lets Dr. Bertlin recommend the option that will actually work best for your teeth, rather than guessing from photos alone.
