Add some fun to orthodontic treatment with WildSmiles Braces®

There have never been more options for braces! You can get braces that feature invisible brackets, which fade into your teeth, or your brackets may be matched to blend in with the color of your teeth. On the other end of the spectrum, our patients at SHN Orthodontics who want to “show off” their braces can do so with WildSmiles Braces®.

Take a walk on the wild side!

From our office in Mission Viejo, California, orthodontist, Dr. Shannon Hilgers Nissen may explore the “designer braces” approach with you and your child. What makes these braces “designer”? The difference is in the brackets themselves. While they are made to function like conventional brackets, WildSmiles’ brackets come in various fun shapes and designs. In fact, there are more than 6 unique designs to choose from, and you can even mix and match them for a one-of-kind look that seamlessly aligns and complements your distinctive style. You can even pair your WildSmiles brackets with elastics in a rainbow of colors. 

WildSmiles can help add some fun to the treatment experience and empower children to take active roles in the process. They feel confident and comfortable with treatment and can maintain their own style. 

The specific brackets or combo of brackets may be selected to showcase your child’s favorite Disney character or hobbies. Choose from: 

  • The Disney Collection—Mickey Mouse-shaped brackets add a little bit of magic to the process of straightening crowded or gapped teeth.
  • The Signature Collection – For a “timeless” look, our pediatric patients can select from diamond-, flower-, football-, star-, basketball-, and heart-shaped brackets.

WildSmiles can be cared for just like any other brackets, and are way more fun. They are also made in the U.S., from medical-grade stainless steel to the strictest safety standards. Step up your child’s braces game. Call us today at (949) 830-4101 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Nissen at SHN Orthodontics in Mission Viejo, CA.
