These aren’t your daddy’s braces! Looking to bring the bling? We’ve got you covered! At Whitehead Orthodontics you may choose metal braces, which are the most popular type of braces! Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using cutting-edge, space aged technology, brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you also have the option of adding colors for a more unique smile that showcases your true personality.

Ceramic braces are less noticeable than the metal braces, and are made of white material that blends in with your teeth. These braces are typically used on our older teenage and adult patients who want a more aesthetic treatment option. Both the metal and ceramic braces are lower profile than braces were even a few years ago, allowing you to experience the most efficient and comfortable orthodontic experience in Lexington and Columbia. Full on bling or toned down tune up, either way, we’ve got your Smiles Made Smooth.

Aligners are a revolutionary alternative to traditional braces, transforming orthodontics. These clear aligners are virtually invisible and custom-made to gradually straighten teeth and correct dental issues like overcrowding, gaps, and misalignments. Plus, they offer a discreet and convenient option.

Braces Bummer! Got a loose wire or a bobbly bracket? No need to fear, Whitehead Orthodontics is here! True orthodontic emergencies are very rare, but when they do occur, we are available to you. Slight soreness is to be expected after braces are initially placed, and after adjustment visits. Please call our office if experience abnormally severe pain or when you have an unusual appliance problem that you can’t take care of yourself. We’ll be able to schedule an appointment to resolve the issue. You may even be able to temporarily solve many problems yourself until you are able to see us again.

After alleviating your discomfort, it is important that you call our office as soon as possible to schedule a time to evaluate the issue. Allowing your braces or appliances to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in longer than expected treatment times. Remember, well-cared for smiles are Smiles Made Stellar.
