Modern Options
Crescent Moon Orthodontics offers only the very latest modern options in orthodontic treatment, including clear aligners and traditional braces. Dr. Zetz, our talented orthodontist in Summerville, will determine which options are the best fit to meet every patient’s needs.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay aligners that are custom designed and produced by computer technology using advanced 3D imaging. Each set of custom clear aligners gradually moves the teeth toward the predetermined goal of perfect alignment. Made from BPA-free plastic, the clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a top choice for adults who wish to undergo orthodontic treatment without the stigma of visible braces. Crescent Moon Orthodontics is a Preferred Invisalign Provider in Charleston and Summerville.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign® Teen is ideal for teens looking to enhance their smile, but are concerned about the appearance of traditional braces. Invisalign appeals to teens because they are easy to use, easily removable to allow eating all their favorite foods. Invisalign clear aligners for teens work the same way as for adults; teens receive a new set of custom clear aligners every few weeks that move their teeth closer to a predetermined straight smile.
SureSmile Clear Aligners
Similar to Invisalign, SureSmile clear aligners are also made from clear plastic, in this case Essix, to be nearly invisible. They are custom designed right in our office using 3D imaging and modeling and the specialized SureSmile software. These advanced clear aligners are another popular option for both adults and teens wanting discreet orthodontic treatment.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces are often a better choice for many patients, due to certain orthodontic problems or issues of cost. Many dental insurance plans do not cover clean aligners but will cover most if not all the cost of traditional braces. At Crescent Moon Orthodontics, we offer traditional metal braces with both clear and rhodium-coated options.
