Hybrid Therapy

Hybrid therapy refers to a combination of a period of fixed appliance therapy (braces) followed by a period of aligner therapy.  

Many patients have severe rotations and vertical alignment discrepancies that are best treated with fixed appliances.  In most cases patients wear braces for six to twelve weeks and then begin aligner therapy. The aligner portion of treatment is typically four to six months.

Hybrid therapy is just one more way that Kierl Orthodontics can limit the time that patients are in treatment.

“You changed my entire life! I am so thrilled with my smile. The best investment is in your smile, I am to the moon with my results. I will forever recommend to make one of the best choices of their life by starting with that one magical complimentary appointment with the man himself, Dr Keirl.” ~ Heather T. “Kierl Orthodontics is the best. They don't try to oversell you. I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment, even if I've come early. Most importantly, they care greatly for their patients, always considering what's best for them.” ~ Linda W. “Aside from the great work that they do, the staff at Kierl Orthodontics are the nicest and happiest people I've met! I can't think of one thing that would make my visits better or more enjoyable!” ~ May C. “Kierl Orthodontics is amazing! They have taken wonderful care of me the past year while having braces and Invisalign. They are perfectionists at their job, which is what I wanted when fixing my teeth. My teeth look perfect and I would (and already have) recommend them.” ~ Merrick F. “Dr. Kierl does great work and always takes the time to explain what's going on in my treatment, and he always checks to make sure I'm OK and that I am happy with how my treatment is going. He is extremely ethical and he really does care about people, which is hard to find nowadays.” ~ Janét J. “I would recommend Dr. Kierl to everyone, no matter the age! My treatment was very short, and I am VERY pleased with the results! I have more confidence with my smile and as a 26-year-old trying to work my way up the corporate ladder, confidence is key! Consultations are FREE! Go make an appointment today!” ~ Jaclyn S.
