Types of Braces
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we are thrilled to offer Pitts21 self-ligating braces, available in both metal and clear options, providing a modern and efficient solution for orthodontic care. These advanced braces are designed to cater to your unique lifestyle and aesthetic preferences while delivering exceptional results.
Pitts21 self-ligating braces are engineered with a cutting-edge mechanism that minimizes friction and allows teeth to move freely. This results in faster treatment times, enabling you to achieve your dream smile more swiftly than with traditional braces. Moreover, the low-profile brackets ensure a more comfortable experience, reducing pressure on your teeth and gums, and making your orthodontic journey as pleasant as possible.
We understand that aesthetics play a crucial role in choosing the right braces. That’s why Pitts21 braces are available in both traditional metal and discreet clear options. Metal braces offer a classic look with robust durability, while clear braces provide a subtle, almost invisible appearance, ideal for those who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic treatment option.
With Pitts21 braces, adjustments are more streamlined, reducing the number of visits to our practice without compromising on the quality of care. This convenience is perfect for busy individuals who wish to spend less time at the orthodontist while still receiving exceptional treatment.
Whether you opt for the metallic clarity of traditional braces or the understated elegance of clear braces, Pitts21 self-ligating braces offer the flexibility to suit your needs and lifestyle. Our team is here to help you make the best choice for your orthodontic goals, ensuring you receive a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your expectations.
Smile Arc Protection
Smile Arc Protection is a revolutionary technique integrated into the Pitts21 system, focusing on the aesthetic alignment of your smile. By carefully placing the brackets to follow the natural curvature of the lips, this approach enhances the visual appeal and balance of your smile.
The strategic alignment of brackets creates a seamless and harmonious smile, highlighting the natural beauty of your teeth. It ensures that as your teeth straighten, they also form an arc that complements your facial features, resulting in a more natural and pleasing appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, Smile Arc Protection contributes to functional improvements. By aligning the teeth along the natural curve, it enhances the bite and overall function of the teeth, promoting better oral health and a more comfortable bite.

We are dedicated to providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each patient, ensuring optimal results and a rewarding orthodontic experience.

Braces for Kids

Our practice is dedicated to providing personalized, top-tier care in a warm and welcoming environment. As a locally-owned practice, we take pride in serving our community with the highest standards of orthodontic excellence.
Orthodontic treatment for children is about more than just aesthetics — it’s about ensuring the proper development of your child’s teeth and jaw.

Our approach is centered on providing customized care tailored to your child’s unique needs.

We understand that every child is different, and we are committed to making their orthodontic journey a positive one. From our modern, artistic office environment to our compassionate team, we strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free for both kids and parents alike.
Early orthodontic treatment
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of seven. While this may seem young, early evaluation allows us to detect potential issues before they become more serious. Early orthodontic treatment, also known as interceptive treatment, can guide the growth of your child’s jaw and incoming permanent teeth, reducing the need for more extensive treatment later on.
Common reasons for early treatment include:
- Crowding — Ensuring enough space for permanent teeth to emerge properly.
- Crossbite — Correcting the alignment of upper and lower teeth.
- Protruding Teeth — Addressing front teeth that stick out, reducing the risk of injury.
- Jaw Growth Issues — Guiding the development of the jaw to avoid more complex problems.
By starting treatment early, we can often simplify future orthodontic care, making it more efficient and less invasive.
Investing in your child’s smile is an investment in their future. At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your child achieves the healthy, beautiful smile they deserve. Schedule a consultation with us today to learn more about how we can help your child achieve a lifetime of confident, timeless smiles.
Braces for Teens
The teenage years are a time of transformation, both physically and emotionally. At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we understand the importance of a confident smile during this pivotal stage of life. We are dedicated to providing teens with the highest quality orthodontic care, ensuring they leave our office with a smile that reflects their true potential.
As teenagers go through growth spurts, their teeth and jaws are still developing. This makes adolescence an ideal time to address orthodontic issues such as misalignment, overcrowding, and bite irregularities. Correcting these issues now can prevent more serious dental problems in the future, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and even jaw pain.
Beyond the health benefits, braces can have a profound impact on a teen’s self-esteem. A straight, beautiful smile can boost confidence, helping teens feel more comfortable in social settings and allowing them to express themselves freely.
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we offer a range of orthodontic options tailored specifically for teens. Whether your teenager prefers traditional metal braces or a more discreet option like clear braces, we provide personalized treatment plans that fit their lifestyle and needs.
- The classic choice for orthodontic treatment, metal braces have come a long way in terms of comfort and aesthetics. Modern self-ligating metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more efficient than ever before. They are highly effective at correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, ensuring excellent results.
- For teens who prefer a more discreet option, clear self-ligating braces offer the same effectiveness as metal braces but with a more subtle appearance. Made from translucent materials, these braces blend in with the natural color of teeth, making them less noticeable. The self-ligating design also reduces friction and requires fewer adjustments, which can make the treatment process smoother and more comfortable.
Our board-certified orthodontists, Dr. Albrechtsen and Dr. Fanelli, work closely with each patient to determine the best treatment option. We understand that no two smiles are the same, which is why we prioritize individualized care and attention to detail.
Braces for Adults
At Albrechtsen & Fanelli Orthodontics, we believe that a healthy, beautiful smile is timeless. Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens — many adults are now choosing to improve their smiles and oral health with braces. Whether you’ve always wanted straighter teeth or you’re addressing issues that have developed over time, we offer tailored solutions that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. We also understand that adults have unique needs and concerns when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Our advanced braces options that cater to your lifestyle while providing the highest level of care.
Many adults choose to straighten their teeth later in life, whether they didn’t have the opportunity for orthodontic treatment as a child or their teeth have shifted over time. Orthodontic treatment as an adult can have a significant impact on your overall oral health and quality of life. Many adults seek treatment for various reasons:
- Correcting Misalignment — Over time, teeth can shift due to aging, tooth loss, or other factors. Braces can help realign your teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.
- Addressing Jaw Pain or Discomfort — Misaligned teeth can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and even issues with chewing. Orthodontic treatment can help alleviate these symptoms by correcting your bite.
- Enhancing Oral Health — Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment can help protect your long-term oral health.
- Boosting Confidence — A beautiful smile can enhance your self-esteem and confidence, making you feel more comfortable in both personal and professional settings.
