Care
Braces and Clear Aligner Orthodontics in Alexandria, VA
Aligners and braces for adults and children, planned around how the jaw closes.
Records first, then aligners or braces depending on what has to move and how far. Retention at the end is part of the plan, not an extra.
Why it matters
Crooked teeth are not only a cosmetic matter. Teeth that meet badly wear unevenly, crack more often and trap what a brush cannot reach.
How we approach it
Records first — photographs, scans and how the jaw closes. Then aligners or braces depending on what has to move and how far. Retention at the end is part of the plan.

Clear Aligner (SureSmile)
SureSmile Clear Aligners are a popular orthodontic treatment option that uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, SureSmile aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice for adults and teenagers.
SureSmile Clear Aligners offer several benefits, making them a popular choice for orthodontic treatment. They are virtually invisible, making them ideal for adults and teenagers who prefer a discreet option. The aligners are made from a comfortable, BPA-free material and can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. With SureSmile's advanced technology, you can expect predictable results and a smoother treatment experience.
Traditional Braces
U Shine Dental offers traditional metal braces, a popular orthodontic treatment option. These braces consist of brackets attached to each tooth and connected by wires. Traditional braces are effective at straightening teeth and correcting a variety of bite problems. While they may require more maintenance than some other orthodontic options, they offer proven results and are often a cost-effective choice.
Both SureSmile Clear Aligners and traditional braces are customized to your unique needs. At U Shine Dental, our experienced dentists will carefully assess your specific dental situation to develop a personalized treatment plan. Whether you prefer the discreetness of clear aligners or the proven effectiveness of traditional braces, we'll tailor your treatment to achieve your desired results.
