FAQ
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are a great option for busy moms who are living their life to the fullest and do not want anyone to know they are currently undergoing teeth corrections. Lingual braces King George has to offer are actually hidden behind each tooth, and therefore are very discreet. These types of braces are also individually formed for your mouth and offer a close contact, personalized feel that makes it a feasible option for many different types of individuals.
Lingual braces are also a great option for:
Professionals who do not wish to have metal braces showing
Musicians that are involved with wind instruments
Athletes who are involved in contact sports
Individuals who are actively modeling
Individuals in the field of acting
Invisalign
Invisalign is another great option to fix slanted teeth. Invisalign is a form of realignment tool that uses a series of clear aligners to re-adjust your teeth. Since the aligners are clear, no one has to know that you are currently wearing them, so you can carry on with your normal life and not be self conscious.

Removable
No hassle during teeth brushing or eating
Comfortable
Clear and discreet
Causes no abrasions as some metal options do

Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are another discreet option for correcting your slanted teeth. Ceramic braces are much like traditional, metal braces, except that ceramic braces blend to the color of your teeth. Ceramic braces are more often used on adults than on children due to the fact that adults are often more concerned about cosmetics than children are.
Minor disadvantages of ceramic braces:
Much more brittle than metal braces
Larger than metal braces
Require closer attention to personal hygiene
Although ceramic braces do have minor disadvantages, there are also several advantages to these types of braces. These advantages include:
Nearly invisible while on the teeth
Much more comfortable that older, more traditional sets of braces

Better oral hygiene practices typically become a habit
