Orthodontic Treatments in Tracy
Tracy Braces
Braces in Tracy are a time-tested solution for improving the appearance, health, and function of your smile. They can correct a variety of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, misaligned teeth, and bite issues.
Because braces can address both straightforward and complex orthodontic needs, they remain one of the most versatile treatment options available. The treatment method provides precise control over tooth movement, allowing for highly customized Tracy braces treatment plans.
Modern braces use metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth and connected by a series of wires. Small elastics may also be used when needed to help guide specific tooth and jaw movements.
These brackets, wires, and elastics work together to apply gentle, consistent pressure that gradually moves your teeth into healthier positions. Regular adjustment appointments with Dr. Faldu and Dr. Marcel allow them to monitor your progress and make any necessary changes throughout treatment.
Tracy Clear Aligners
Clear aligners in Tracy offer a modern way to straighten teeth without the brackets and wires used with traditional braces. At Marcel Method Orthodontic Specialists, we offer Invisalign, Spark, and SureSmile to help patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles with a treatment option that blends seamlessly into everyday life.
Each system uses a series of custom-crafted aligners made from smooth, transparent plastic. The trays fit closely over your teeth and are designed to make gradual adjustments throughout treatment. To continue progressing through your plan, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks as instructed by Dr. Faldu or Dr. Marcel.
Successful clear aligner treatment depends on consistency. Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day and only removed for meals, brushing, and flossing. Falling behind on wear time can affect how your teeth track and may increase the overall length of treatment.
Invisalign, Spark, and SureSmile can successfully treat many common alignment and bite concerns. During your free consultation, Dr. Faldu and Dr. Marcel will examine your smile, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are the right fit for your orthodontic needs.
