What We Offer

Explore Our Services

Every treatment plan starts with an evaluation from Dr. Ronconi to find the right fit for your smile and your schedule. Whether you’re weighing traditional braces or a nearly invisible alternative, here’s a closer look at each service we offer.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel which makes them versatile and durable. Today’s braces are much smaller and more comfortable making them more attractive. This also allows you to customize by choosing from different colored elastics changeable every appointment.

Ceramic Braces

Rather than gray or metallic silver brackets and wires, ceramic braces are made from a clear, translucent tooth-colored material. They are the most popular with our adult patients. They are barely visible on the teeth unless you look very closely.

Invisalign (No Braces)

The Invisalign System is a series of clear aligners generated using a computer. These gradually adjust your teeth to the desired positions, and they can also correct some bite problems. As an Invisalign Certified Provider, you can turn to us to get a fitting. For more details about the Invisalign System, contact our office today.

Retainers

Some minor orthodontic problems can be corrected with retainers, whether it’s on the lower or upper teeth. These devices are also used to keep your teeth from moving after they have been straightened with braces.

Teeth Whitening

Improve your teeth’s aesthetic appearance with our help. Our teeth whitening process removes stains and makes your smile more attractive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Matthew Ronconi Orthodontics offers metal braces, ceramic braces, Invisalign, retainers, and teeth whitening for children, teens, and adults in Salinas, CA.

Metal braces use durable stainless steel and customizable colored elastics, while ceramic braces use a clear, tooth-colored material that’s barely visible and popular with adult patients.

Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces for many patients, using a series of clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth and correct some bite problems without brackets or wires.

Retainers are typically recommended after braces or Invisalign treatment to keep your teeth from shifting back, and they can also correct some minor orthodontic problems on their own.

Teeth whitening is best done after braces or Invisalign treatment is complete, once your teeth are in their final position, though it’s also available as a standalone service.

Treatment length varies by case and the option chosen — braces and Invisalign both range from several months to a few years, and Dr. Ronconi will outline a timeline specific to you at your consultation.

Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan, so we recommend contacting our office to confirm your benefits before starting treatment.
