Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces remain the most prevalent type and have become more comfortable than ever. These braces, composed of high-grade stainless steel, work to align your teeth through the use of metal brackets and archwires. Additionally, you have the option to inject a touch of personal flair by adding colored elastics (rubber bands) to create a unique and colorful smile.

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces are similar to the materials of traditional braces, but they eliminate the need for elastics. This means fewer appointments and reduced friction on your teeth. Available in traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets, self-ligating braces mirror the size of metal braces but employ a specialized clip in lieu of elastics to guide the archwire into place. This clip minimizes pressure on your teeth and necessitates fewer adjustments since there are no elastics to replace.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Crafted from translucent materials, ceramic braces are less conspicuous on your teeth compared to metal braces. As such, they are predominantly used for older teenagers and adult patients who prioritize cosmetic concerns. While they offer a less prominent appearance, ceramic braces demand heightened attention to oral hygiene, as they are slightly larger and more delicate than their metal counterparts. Consequently, ceramic braces are often employed on the upper front teeth rather than the lower teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners consist of a sequence of transparent, removable acrylic trays that rectify your teeth in a manner akin to traditional braces. Not only are these aligners imperceptible, but they can also be removed, granting you the freedom to eat and drink without restrictions. Moreover, maintaining oral hygiene is simplified, and you won’t experience the discomfort of metal-related mouth abrasions during treatment.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are discreetly positioned behind your teeth, rendering them virtually invisible when you smile. These braces are meticulously customized to match your tooth contours, with the metal components being uniquely designed for your dental structure. Lingual braces are an excellent choice for various individuals, including athletes, models, actors/actresses, musicians who play wind instruments, and working professionals seeking an inconspicuous orthodontic solution.
