Comprehensive Orthodontic Care in the South Puget Sound
At Light Dental Studios, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments designed to meet the needs of patients of all ages. Whether you're in Lynnwood, Puyallup, Olympia, or surrounding areas in the South Puget Sound, our experienced team is here to provide early intervention for children and comprehensive adult orthodontic solutions. We're dedicated to helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile—no matter where you are on your dental journey.
Our Services
Early evaluation can help detect potential issues and guide the growth of your child's teeth and jaws. Early intervention may reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on.
It's never too late to enhance your smile. We provide customized adult orthodontic options that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle, including subtle treatments like Invisalign®.
After completing orthodontic treatment, retention ensures your teeth remain in their new positions. We offer various retainer options to maintain your beautiful smile.
In cases of severe jaw misalignment, orthognathic surgery can correct functional and aesthetic concerns, improving bite and overall oral health.
This technique allows for more efficient placement of braces, reducing chair time and enhancing patient comfort.
Orthodontic emergencies can happen. Our team is equipped to handle urgent issues promptly, ensuring your treatment progresses smoothly.
Braces vs. Invisalign, What Are The Differences?
Factor |
Braces |
Invisalign |
|---|---|---|
Appearance |
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets with wires attached to your teeth. They’re noticeable, although ceramic options can be less visible. | Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, making them almost invisible to others. |
Material |
Braces are made of stainless steel or ceramic brackets connected with metal wires and elastic bands. | Invisalign aligners are crafted from clear, BPA-free plastic trays designed specifically for your teeth. |
Removability |
Braces are fixed to your teeth and can only be removed by an orthodontist. | Aligners are removable. You can take them out while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. |
Comfort |
Brackets and wires can cause irritation to the cheeks, lips, and gums. Adjustments may also cause soreness. | Smooth plastic aligners are more comfortable and less likely to irritate your mouth. Some mild soreness can occur when switching to a new set. |
Oral Hygiene |
Brushing and flossing around brackets and wires can be tricky and require special tools like floss threaders. | Since aligners are removable, brushing and flossing remain simple and much closer to your normal routine. |
Dietary Restrictions |
Foods that are hard, sticky, or chewy (like popcorn, gum, or caramel) must be avoided to prevent damage to braces. | No food restrictions, since you remove aligners before eating. You can enjoy your favorite meals without worry. |
Effectiveness |
Very effective for treating both simple and highly complex orthodontic issues, including severe misalignment and bite problems. | Works best for mild to moderate alignment issues. Some complex cases may still require braces. |
Cost |
Generally more affordable, but the price depends on case complexity, region, and type of braces chosen. | Often more expensive than braces due to the technology and customization involved. |
Compliance Needed |
Since braces are fixed, progress happens regardless of patient discipline. | Success relies heavily on wearing aligners for 20–22 hours daily. Skipping wear time can delay results. |
Best For |
Patients of all ages, especially those needing major bite corrections or complex tooth movement. | Adults and teens who prefer a discreet, removable treatment option and have mild to moderate cases. |
