Braces, Clear Aligners & Clear Braces in Irvine

Shining Smiles Orthodontics offers modern orthodontic services in Irvine for children, teens, and adults who want a healthier smile without confusion or pressure. During your consultation, Dr. Lee will explain which treatment option may fit your needs best, from clear aligners to metal braces and discreet ceramic braces.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a removable, low-profile option for patients who want to straighten their teeth without brackets or wires. At Shining Smiles Orthodontics, clear aligner treatment in Irvine is carefully planned by Dr. Lee so your smile can move with precision while fitting into your daily routine.

Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to correct crowding, spacing, bite concerns, and more complex orthodontic needs. Our braces treatment in Irvine is designed for kids, teens, and adults who need dependable tooth movement with close orthodontic guidance.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear braces offer the control of traditional braces with a less noticeable appearance, making them a strong choice for patients who want effective treatment with a more discreet look. If you are comparing braces options, our clear ceramic braces in Irvine may be a great fit for your smile and lifestyle.
