Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional braces consist of standard metal brackets. This is the most common type of braces, and throughout the years have become much smaller and more comfortable. With metal braces, you also have the option of adding colored elastic bands to make your braces vibrant, colorful and uniquely yours!
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic/Clear braces function in the same way as traditional braces, but the brackets are made with translucent materials. Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they are tooth-colored or clear that blend in with teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable.
Invisible Braces - Invisalign
Invisalign involves the use of a clear set of removable trays that are custom fitted to your teeth. Each new set of Invisalign aligners applies a slight adjustment to your teeth. Invisalign aligners are made with a pliable material and fit snuggly to your teeth. Compared to traditional orthodontic braces, Invisalign clear aligners may be more comfortable throughout the teeth-straightening process. Because they are removable and wire-free, it is easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and not worry about getting food stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
