    Our office also gives our patient the option of traditional local anesthesia as well as nitrous-oxide and also conscious sedation. Dr Albani uses a physician who is a anesthesiologist to use intra-venous sedation for those patients who would like to be asleep while their treatment is performed. Please feel free to discuss those options with our staff!

What are braces?

Braces straighten teeth and correct bite problems using brackets bonded to the teeth and a wire that applies steady pressure. Options include metal, ceramic (tooth-coloured) and lingual braces placed behind the teeth. Treatment usually lasts 18–36 months.

Braces: specialist or general dentist?

Orthodontists provide most braces treatment and have 2–3 extra years of training in tooth and jaw alignment. Some general dentists offer braces for simpler cases. Complex bites and jaw growth problems are usually best handled by an orthodontist.

None of Colonia's 7 clinics offering braces list an orthodontist on staff in our data yet. See orthodontists in Colonia
