Choose Your Perfect Fit
Metal Braces or LightForce Clear Braces
Mack Orthodontics offers two types of braces to suit your lifestyle: traditional metal braces and innovative LightForce clear braces.
The Time-Tested Effectiveness of Metal Braces
Metal braces have long been the gold standard in orthodontic treatment. They are proven effective, durable, and reliable. With advancements in orthodontic technology, today's metal braces are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever before. The brackets are smaller, and the wires are less visible, providing an aesthetic and functional solution for misaligned teeth. Metal braces are also highly customizable, allowing for a unique treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. They are suitable for all age groups and can correct even the most complex dental issues, making them a versatile and dependable choice for achieving a perfect smile in Greensboro.
The Discreet Elegance of LightForce Clear Braces
LightForce clear braces offer a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. These braces are made of clear, high-quality materials that blend seamlessly with your teeth, making them virtually invisible. LightForce clear braces are an excellent option for teens and adults who desire a straight smile but prefer a more subtle treatment method. They offer the same effectiveness as metal braces but with the added benefit of being less noticeable, allowing you to undergo treatment with confidence.

The Braces Process: From Free Consultation to Final Results
Getting braces at Mack Orthodontics follows a simple, clear process. Here's what Greensboro-area folks can expect from start to finish: an evaluation, braces placement (often the same day), regular adjustments, and finally braces removal with a custom retainer fitting.
Step 1: Free Consult
Your first visit is completely free. Dr. Mack will take digital photos and X-rays to evaluate your teeth and bite. Our team walks you through your goals and concerns, then creates a treatment plan specific to you. We explain your options, timeline, and investment so you can make an informed decision.
Step 2: Braces Placement
Many people can start the same day as their consult. The placement appointment takes about one to two hours. Dr. Mack carefully positions each bracket for optimal results, and you leave with your braces in place and clear instructions for care. It's that simple.
Step 3: Regular Adjustment Visits
Every four to eight weeks, you return to our Burlington or Hillsborough office, both serving Greensboro and the surrounding Triad area, for adjustments. These quick visits let Dr. Mack check your progress and make any necessary changes to your archwire. Most adjustment appointments at Mack Orthodontics take less than 30 minutes, so you're in and out.
Step 4: Braces Removal and Retainer Fitting
When your teeth reach their final positions, it's time to celebrate! Removing braces is quick and painless. Dr. Mack will fit you with a custom retainer to keep your new smile in place. Wearing your retainer as directed protects your investment for years to come.
Timeline: Most people wear braces for 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of their case. Dr. Mack will give you a more specific estimate during your free consult.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Braces in Greensboro?
Good candidates for braces include kids age seven and older, teens, and adults with crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. Because teeth can be moved at almost any age, braces work for nearly anyone looking to improve their bite and smile. Dr. Mack evaluates each person during a free consult at Mack Orthodontics.
Kids
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. By then, your child's teeth have developed enough for Dr. Mack to spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. Early orthodontics may prevent more serious issues down the road.
Teens and Adults
The teenage years remain the most popular time for braces, since most permanent teeth have come in and jaw growth is still occurring. But you're never too old for a straighter smile. More adults than ever are choosing braces to improve their oral health and confidence. Dr. Mack treats adults regularly at Mack Orthodontics, serving Greensboro and surrounding communities from our Burlington and Hillsborough offices.
For those with mild to moderate alignment issues, clear aligners may be a good alternative. A free consult at Mack Orthodontics helps determine which option will give you the best results.
