Each case is different, but Dr. Raymond Kubisch and Dr. Andrew Ferris recommend the following steps:

What are the Treatment Options?

The first is traditional metal braces. These are simply old-fashioned braces that are attached to the teeth with wires and brackets. While more visible and slightly more uncomfortable (at first) than other options, traditional metal braces are considered to be one of the fastest and most effective choices near Solvang, CA. They are also the best at treating severe cases, and are generally cost effective as well.
Kubisch & Ferris Orthodontics also offers Damon ceramic braces. Ceramic braces are similar to traditional in that they are attached to the teeth, however they are less noticeable because the brackets are clear. They are also said to be more comfortable than a traditional metal braces system. Their downside? If a patient is not careful they can stain the brackets, losing their “clear” effect. Dr. Raymond Kubisch and Dr. Andrew Ferris recommend these to patients near Solvang, CA. who are conscious of their image, but are interested in a more conventional procedure.
