Braces

What Are the Different Parts of Braces?

Now that you know there are different types of braces available, it helps to know the different parts of braces when choosing the one that’s best for you. Click here to learn about the different parts of braces.

Learn About the Different Types of Braces

At Stormberg Orthodontics, we want to help you get the smile that you love. You can join the ranks of celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Miley Cyrus who wore braces. Just consider the different types first.

Metal Braces

We know that you probably don’t want metal braces, but we wanted to make sure you know they are a possible option. You only need to come in every four to eight weeks and can choose from some fun colors. Some patients find not having to remove an appliance, brush and replace into your mouth is a great option. Time slips away each day and sometimes the appliances are not worn the prescribed amount of hours due to eating, snacking, and a busy schedule.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a great alternative to metal braces. Dr. Stormberg is a Top 1% Diamond+ Provider for Invisalign in La Mesa and has treated thousands of patients since 1998. You might even know a few people who got Invisalign at Stormberg Orthodontics. As they easily come out, you don’t need to wear them when you eat or brush your teeth. You should keep in mind that Dr. Kurt Stormberg will give you some rules you need to follow in between your appointments, such as 20-22 hours of wear daily for optimum results. Invisalign Teen is also available to help teens get bright and healthy smiles.

Ceramic Braces

Do you worry that insurance won’t cover the cost of your treatment? Forbes found that most dental insurance plans cover braces but that you will still pay some out-of-pocket costs. Ceramic brackets are a clear bracket that work exactly like our metal brackets.

Invisalign

Treatments

Invisalign®

The Invisalign System is a removable, virtually invisible solution for convenient orthodontic treatment. Thanks to our commitment to using cutting-edge technology in our office, we can provide Invisalign with a better fit, providing more comfortable and more effective orthodontic treatment.

Jaw Surgery

Treatments

Jaw Surgery

For patients with more severe orthodontic cases, traditional treatments such as braces may not be enough to achieve the ideal smile.

Rapid Palatal Expander

Treatments

Rapid Palatal Expander

Upper jaw expansion is a form of orthodontic treatment that is used in specific cases. An expander is used to widen the upper jaw and decrease the amount of time you wear your braces. It can also create more space for your teeth to grow.

Retainer

Treatments

Retainers

Your retainer is something that stays with you for many years to come, so it is important that you choose the one that best suits your wants and needs.

AAO

Overall A+ experience! I’m so glad I reached out to Dr. Stormberg and team for a second opinion and ultimately ended up deciding to agree to treatment with them. After visiting a different Orthodontist I didn’t feel comfortable with the quote I received nor the work they were telling me my son needed because his issue was more moderate in that he only needed to shift his bite.

I'm absolutely blown away by the service Dr. Stormberg and his staff provided me over the last 2 years! I just got my braces off today and I'm beyond happy with the results! The staff was extremely efficient and seamless with all the appointments during my treatment. The office is clean and very spacious and even has a view of the park. The price was very reasonable considering the high level of service and time it took to complete my treatment. I highly recommend Stormberg Orthodontics!
