Choosing Orthodontics That Are Perfect For You & Your Family

Because every patient feels differently about wearing orthodontics and every smile requires different levels of attention, Gentle Family Dentists provides the following for straightening smiles:

Traditional Braces

Traditional brackets still do an incredible job of straightening teeth. In fact, they allow us more control over your smile’s alignment than other treatments. You won’t have to worry about misplacing removable aligners, and they come in a variety of colors.

Invisalign & ClearCorrect

Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners share many advantages. They both:

  • Straighten your smile with clear, practically invisible plastic aligners so nobody notices you’re wearing them
  • Gently align your teeth over time to reduce discomfort
  • Work faster than traditional braces, which may need to be worn for two to three years; these short-term orthodontic treatments typically require being worn for only six months to a year
  • Eliminate a lot of maintenance that traditional braces require, since they can be removed while you eat, and can be cleaned easily

The differences between the two are:

  • ClearCorrect is usually more affordable
  • ClearCorrect is made in the USA; Invisalign is not
  • Invisalign was already being used to treat patients for 10 years before ClearCorrect was an option
  • Invisalign alignment trays are created at the beginning of your treatment; ClearCorrect trays are made as your treatment progresses

Both options are very popular with patients of all ages. They allow adults to straighten their teeth without worrying about embarrassment at work, and they can do the same for teens who need better dental alignment to ensure good oral health.

FastBraces®

This short-term orthodontic option also affords you the benefit of aligning your teeth without metal brackets. Over the course of three months to a year, FastBraces can align your smile. This cosmetic dental treatment requires no extraction of existing teeth to straighten your smile.

What our patients are saying

Hannah D.North Liberty
All of the dentists at gentle family dentists are amazing! We love Dr. Carole! Her approach is so effective! It has saved both our children from oral surgery in their late teens years. The entire staff is thoughtful, kind, extremely caring and gentle! It is a pleasure to be treated there!
Amber P.North Liberty
Great experience and the team truly showed concern for me during my extraction experience. They were able to get me in quick and then also accommodated my crazy work schedule and got several timely services done before work so I would not be in pain any more. I would recommend this team to anyone. And if you are not using these wonderful people then you are missing out.
Jacob W.West Liberty
I don’t go but my twin boys do! They love it so much they make the boys feel comfortable and happy when being seen by anyone always a clean and loving environment for them to get their dental work done! They’re 5 so it’s a big part of the reason why we chose to go with gentle family dentist they are so nice to us!
Benjamin W.West Liberty
Dr. Caroline did an amazing job with my crowns on my front teeth, fitting my night guard many times until it was right, and guiding me through the zoom at home whitening kit. I have a whole different smile and I feel so confident. Every person there is so friendly and helpful! Thanks so much!
Laura P.Muscatine
Chipped a molar last night eating popcorn. This morning they were able to get me in for a quick x-ray, then get an appointment scheduled for the afternoon to do the crown. I wasn’t in any pain but I feel so fortunate to have had it fixed so quickly! They have fancy technology & knew exactly what they were doing. Perfectly matched the tooth color. Extremely pleased with my experience!
Laura L.Muscatine
I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate this office. I have hated the dentist for most of my life and stopped going. Now I have teeth issues that embarrasses me. Dr. Grant and the staff have been amazing and made me feel so supported and not judged at all. I’m so happy I found this clinic. I can’t wait to get my smile back!
