Clear Braces
Clear braces are made of translucent (clear) material. Starnes Orthodontics uses the highest quality bracket, the Clarity Bracket, which maintains its translucent appearance throughout the treatment process. Clarity™ Braces won't stain or discolor. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to clear brackets is that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties may discolor between orthodontic visits.

Wear Clarity™ Braces and you'll have a lot to smile about. This bracket offers a comfortable design., an attractive / translucent appearance, and perhaps best of all, the self-confidence that comes from wearing braces that look as good as they perform. Unlike traditional metal braces, you won't have to worry about flashing a "tin grin" every time you smile. You'll feel better about yourself knowing that the natural beauty of your teeth is shining through, and not your braces.

Invisalign
Invisalign makes it easy to straighten your teeth without bands, brackets or wires. The Invisalign System is a series of custom made, clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. Invisalign is an invisible solution that is comfortable to wear and it doesn’t require you to change your busy lifestyle. Invisalign may be used for Teens and Adults. Our specialized Teen Aligners are equipped with compliance indicators to ensure that the aligners are worn for the recommended amount of time. Dr. Starnes is a premier provider for Invisalign and has attended many of the continuing education workshops to maintain the highest standard of care for her patients.

Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are the best and only totally non-visible form of fixed orthodontic therapy. Lingual braces have continued to evolve making them a truly reliable form of orthodontic therapy by using principles similar to those of traditional braces.

Special instrumentation, equipment, doctor and staff training are required for this technique. These braces can be used on both arches.

Lingual braces are comparable to outside braces in comfort; affecting the tongue instead of the cheeks and lips. Patients take approximately 1-4 weeks to achieve a good comfort level with both.

Lingual braces may affect your speech. The amount will depend on the patient's dental arch form and tongue position. In most patients this will be temporary and of short duration.

Starnes Orthodontics offers iBraces which are completely aesthetic and 100% customized for comfort and performance. A patient’s unique prescription is built in to the case so that the teeth will move in the most efficient manner possible.
