At your consultation appointment, Dr. Paz will consider your orthodontic needs and give you different treatment options.

Lingual Braces  

Lingual braces, also known as Concealed and/or Invisible braces, are the best, and only, non-visble form of fixed orthodontic therapy. Concealed braces are placed behind the teeth where they are not seen. Various combinations of these appliances can be employed to achieve the desired correction and the patient enjoys an unobstructed smile during treatment. These appliances are custom-made to each patient and the techniques used require special instrumentation, equipment, doctor and staff training.

 

The office of Dr. Mario E. Paz proudly offers unique cosmetic orthondontic treatment modalities. We enjoy the reputation of being one of the largest Lingual orthodontic practices and the only practice that offeres the combination of Invisalign with Lingual braces. A non-extraction treatment approach is most frequently favored for achieving a broadened smile line.
