Dr. Glaser and his team provide a number of options to make braces more appealing to working professionals and adaptable to their busy lifestyle.
What Kinds of Braces for Adults Are There?
At Glaser Orthodontics, we understand that a busy adult lifestyle can be difficult to accommodate for orthodontic treatment. That’s why we offer a wide variety of types of braces for adults, all of which are designed to allow you to maintain your busy schedule. Some of the braces for adults we offer include:
Traditional metal braces: These are made of metal wires and brackets that are fastened to the front surface of the teeth. You can select a variety of colors of rubber bands that hold your wires in place, and gradually the braces will guide your teeth to a perfect alignment.
Clear braces: this treatment works the same way as metal braces, but instead of metal brackets, they employ porcelain or ceramic brackets. These brackets are designed to be tooth-colored, creating the effect of being “clear”. In some cases, you can receive clear wires, as well.
Invisalign: the Invisalign system is comprised of a series of clear, plastic aligner trays. These trays are molded specifically to fit your teeth throughout a treatment course that is designed for your perfect smile. Every couple of weeks, Dr. Glaser will switch out your current set of Invisalign aligners for the next set, and with each new tray, your teeth will gradually shift into the smile of your dreams. Invisalign is a popular choice for many adults because the trays are virtually invisible, completely removable, and very comfortable, enabling busy adults to continue their lifestyles unhindered.

Dr. Barry J. Glaser of Glaser Orthodontics is treating many teens and adults in Cortlandt Manor, NY with In-Ovation C. These are like the type of braces actor Tom Cruise had. As with traditional braces, these ceramic braces follow the same basic principles, however they are a bit larger and brittle. A lot of our teen and adult patients choose ceramic braces because they are less visible on your teeth than metal braces, in fact, they “blend in” with the teeth! And at the end of the more comfortable and shorter treatment you’ll have a full, natural-looking, straight smile. ContactDr. Glaser at 914.739.6400 today to discuss if In-Ovation C is right for you!
After your braces are removed you will move on to the retention stage. Dr. Glaser of Glaser Orthodontics in Cortlandt Manor, NY stresses that retention is a life-long commitment and that your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers. A retainer is needed post-braces because even though braces may have successfully straightened your teeth, they are not completely settled in their new position until the bones, gums and muscles adapt to the change. Also, after long periods of time, teeth tend to shift. The custom-made, removable appliance is typically made of rubber or clear plastic and metal wires that cover the outside surface of the teeth. We know, you just want to show off your teeth already—varying from patient to patient, a retainer needs to be worn all the time for the first six months and then usually only during sleep.
Please do no hesitate to contact Dr. Glaser at 914.739.6400 if you are transitioning into the retention stage of your orthodontic treatment or if you have lost or broken your retainer and need a replacement. Keep smiling!
