Types of Braces We Offer

Traditional Metal Braces

One of the most common type of braces used today are traditional metal braces. Traditional metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel, and use metal brackets and archwires in order to effectively straighten your teeth. With these braces, you are able to add colorful rubber bands in order to customize and personalize your smile, making these a unique option.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

One of the most commonly used braces in older teenagers and adult patients are ceramic braces. Since these are less visible on the teeth, ceramic braces are a good option for patients with cosmetic concerns. With the use of clear materials, ceramic braces are less prominent, however, they require more care, especially with oral hygiene, than other types of braces. Since ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than the traditional metal counterparts, these types of braces are used more on the upper front teeth, and typically not on the lower teeth.

Clear Aligners

Perhaps the most convenient option when it comes to braces is the use of clear aligners. This set of acrylic trays will straighten your teeth like braces, without the mouth abrasions that metal braces can cause.
