Orthodontic Treatments in Pleasanton
Pleasanton Braces
Braces in Pleasanton remain one of the most reliable ways to create healthy, beautiful smiles. They can tackle a variety of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, and bite issues, making them a great choice for patients with all kinds of smile goals.
Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before. Treatment uses metal or ceramic brackets attached to your teeth, connected by a system of wires and, when needed, elastic bands. Together, the components of Pleasanton braces apply gentle, consistent pressure that gradually guides your teeth into their ideal positions.
Regular appointments with Dr. Marcel and Dr. Faldu allow for monitoring, adjustments, and consistent progress on your smile journey.
Pleasanton Clear Aligners
At Marcel Method Orthodontic Specialists, we offer Invisalign, Spark, and SureSmile clear aligner systems as a convenient alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and wires, clear aligner treatment uses a series of custom-made trays that fit comfortably over your teeth.
Each set of aligners is designed to make small, controlled movements that gradually straighten your smile over time. The aligners are crafted from smooth, transparent plastic, making them a discreet option for patients who want a less noticeable treatment experience.
As your teeth move, you’ll progress through a series of aligners, typically changing to the next set every one to two weeks according to your personalized treatment plan created by Dr. Faldu or Dr. Marcel.
Because aligners are removable, your participation plays an important role in the success of treatment. For the best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours each day and only removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Clear aligners are highly effective for many common orthodontic concerns, though some more complex cases may be better suited for braces. During your free consultation in Pleasanton, Dr. Faldu and Dr. Marcel will evaluate your smile and help determine if Invisalign, Spark, or SureSmile is the right choice for you.
