## Core Services
- [Braces](https://www.4mybraces.com/services/braces): Braces use a series of small brackets and wires to gently apply continuous pressure and guide teeth into proper alignment. Stoutland Orthodontics offers both traditional metal braces and LightForce custom ceramic brackets.
- [Clear Aligners](https://www.4mybraces.com/services/clear-aligners): Clear aligner therapy uses a custom series of smooth, removable plastic trays that gradually move teeth into alignment, offered through the Invisalign and Angel Aligners systems.
- [Early Interceptive Orthodontics](https://www.4mybraces.com/services/early-interceptive-orthodontics): Early interceptive orthodontics is a preventive approach, typically for children ages 7 to 10, that identifies and addresses potential orthodontic and jaw growth issues before they fully develop, using treatments like space maintenance, palatal expansion, and limited braces.
- [Retainers](https://www.4mybraces.com/services/retainers): Retainers are custom-made appliances, offered in both fixed and removable styles such as Essix and Hawley retainers, that maintain tooth alignment after braces or clear aligner treatment is complete.
