Traditional braces are the most common type of braces that you might be familiar with, composed of a metallic material. There are many types of traditional braces in Charlotte, some of which are accompanied by colored ties to hold the wire in place. These ties can be changed at each visit at the patient’s desire. Clear braces provide an alternative option for those interested in braces but are seeking improved esthetics from the traditional metal type. Clear braces blend beautifully with your teeth to allow you to subtly achieve the smile you desire.

Invisalign is one of the pioneer clear aligner treatment options. Instead of wearing braces, a series of custom molded clear trays will be used to move your teeth to the ideal position.

Lockhart are also providers of Invisalign in Charlotte for teens, which provides more options for teenagers. Drs. Lockhart are certified Invisalign Providers, so they can use their expertise to determine if Invisalign is the right treatment choice for you.
