40th And Holdrege Streets Lincoln NE, 68583About
Dr. Laura Iwasaki practices Orthodontics in Lincoln, NE. Comprehensive orthodontic treatment includes metal wires that are inserted into orthodontic brackets, which can be made from stainless steel or a more aesthetic ceramic material. The wires interact with the brackets to move teeth into desired positions. Being advanced in the field, Dr. Iwasaki may also use Invisalign or other aligner trays that have been designed to align a patients? smile.
