Three Orthodontics Options
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten teeth by using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, there is the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on the teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene, as ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth rather than on lower teeth.
Now Offering Invisalign Near You
While traditional wire braces are a proven method for achieving a beautifully aligned smile, we also offer Invisalign as a modern alternative. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners tailored to fit your teeth. These aligners are virtually invisible and are designed to move your teeth gradually into place. Ideal for patients seeking a discreet solution to orthodontic correction, Invisalign allows for the convenience of eating, brushing, and flossing without the limitations of wire braces. Explore the possibility of achieving your perfect smile with the flexibility and aesthetics of Invisalign.
