Hybrid orthodontic treatment combines traditional braces with Invisalign to deliver faster, more precise, and more comfortable results. Instead of relying on a single method, this advanced approach uses the strengths of both systems—allowing us to treat even complex cases efficiently while minimizing the time you spend in braces.
For some patients, aligners alone may not be enough to achieve the ideal result. Hybrid treatment bridges that gap—giving you the flexibility of Invisalign with the power of braces when needed.
For optimal results, Dr. Martinez will recommend the right combination of techniques for each stage of your treatment. While braces may be used briefly to make powerful structural changes, they are often followed or combined with Invisalign to refine your smile and enhance comfort and appearance. In many cases, this means you’ll only wear braces for a portion of your treatment—while still achieving results that wouldn’t be possible with aligners alone.
Braces on one arch (top or bottom) and Invisalign on the other—targeting each area with the most effective tool.
Braces on specific teeth that require complex movement, while Invisalign aligns the rest.
Start discreetly with aligners, then transition to braces for more advanced corrections.
