Dr. Lints Orthodontics provides the latest technologies in advanced braces in three convenient locations: Traverse City, Elk Rapids, and Suttons Bay, Michigan.Since 1989,Dr. Ronald R. Lints, DDS MS, has been helping people from age seven to adults of all ages with braces. He is also one of the nations topInvisalignproviders.
Braces are one type of orthodontic treatment that slowly aligns the teeth and jaws. For those who require advanced correction, braces remain a top choice for aligning smiles efficiently.After attaching special brackets, an archwire is guided through to apply gentle but continuous pressure. Over time, this guides tooth movement to their ideal positions.
Today, advanced braces are sleek and discreet, with a slimmer profile than in the past. So, you can feel more confident wearing them and get results faster than you may expect.Today, more adults in the Traverse City, Elk Rapids, and Suttons Bay areas are getting started with treatments like braces or Invisalign and gettingfantastic results.
Another option isceramic braceswith brackets that are clear or match your teeth color. Then, all that is visible is the thin archwire, making these braces very discreet.For those who want to avoid the look of traditional metal brackets, these advanced braces may be a great alternative. While wearing ceramic braces, practicing good oral hygiene will ensure they remain as discreet as possible.
For kids and some adults, its great fun to choose colorful elastics for their braces. Then, when you come in for your next adjustment, you can change to another color choice. For example, choose your favorite color combination, or wear colors of your favorite sports team. Otherwise, you may choose elastics that will blend in and remain unnoticeable. Choosing a color scheme can be fun and an enjoyable part of wearing braces.
Todays traditional metal braces are better than ever and more streamlined than in the past. Their smaller metal brackets are durable, and their time-tested design transforms smiles efficiently and precisely for people of all ages.For braces candidates, they remain one of the fastest and most effective ways to get incredible results. Also, they tend tocost around the sameas Invisalign, with the cost varying by individual case.
Importantly, the benefits of wearing braces are incredible and worth the time and investment. When treatment is concluded, you will have a beautiful smile to enjoy a lifetime. Even better, you can enjoy significant health benefits that come with a properly aligned smile.

Dr. Lints and his staff have been great with our kids so far! Hannah and Brooke have been so patient with my sensory-sensitive child - helping my child through procedures (i.e. adding and removing appliances, etc.) when my child is overwhelmed or nervous. Everyone has been very professional, competent, and kind.

Each staff member's compassion and love during each visit goes beyond what I find in other local establishments on the first visit. Dr. Lints goes above & beyond, making sure My and my daughter's smiles are perfect; while thoroughly explaining procedures and outcomes. The payment plans offered are affordable and for lifelong ortho care. I recommend Dr. Lints and staff any day! Do yourself a favor and have a FREE consultation.

Our two young daughters have absolutely LOVED working with Dr. Lints and his incredible team as we have navigated retainers, expanders and life. When you surround yourself with an amazing team, incredible things happen. We've been lucky enough to have Hannah, assist us with all our visits. She is a true professional at her craft. She knows how to talk to children, and connect with them. She makes our girls feel confident, welcome, and proud to smile from ear to ear every visit we have. Thank you Hannah, Dr. Lints, and your spectacular team for all you do.

I was always self conscious of my teeth and thought I'd have to get braces. Had a free consultation and they assured me Invisalign would work. Here I am now at my last appointment and I am thrilled with the results! Very appreciative to Dr. Lints, Hannah and all of the other team members I have seen over the last couple years for their kindness, friendliness, and knowledge. Highly recommend Dr. Lints!!!
