Looking To Discreetly Align Your Smile?
Do you want a fixed option to align your teeth and bite, other than regular braces? Do you also want an invisible option and don't want to keep taking aligner trays in and out? Inbrace lingual braces may be right for you! Inbrace hidden braces are secured on the back surface of the teeth, so you can't see them when you smile or talk. They are a fixed option so they work for you all the time and are virtually invisible without having to deal with removable aligner trays.

Regular Check-Ups
Throughout the course of your or your child’s chosen orthodontic treatment, you'll attend regular check-ups to monitor your progress, make adjustments as needed, and ensure you receive the best possible care.
Clear Braces
A ceramic tooth-colored bracket that is nearly invisible! If you are looking for a fixed option like braces but without the silver look.
Champagne/Gold Braces
Dr. Sandra's champagne braces are plated in a precious metal known as rhodium, which is a great option for patients with allergies or sensitivity to nickel.
These braces offer a more special, elevated look due to their unique lighter gold color. These braces are also metal braces but less noticeable than the traditional silver brackets.
Classic Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use stainless steel brackets along with Dr. Sandra's custom high-end wires to move your teeth into the desired positions. Not like they were in the past, braces are now smaller, less noticeable and defintly more comfortable.
Invisible Orthodontic Treatment with InBrace
Want orthodontic treatment that's practically invisible? InBrace lingual braces are placed on the inside of your teeth, making them virtually undetectable. Say goodbye to shiny metals or bright colors while still enjoying the benefits of traditional braces.
