Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel Braces, often called traditional braces, are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than ever before.
Clarity™ Braces
Clarity™ Braces, a brand of ceramic braces, are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
Invisalign®
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
Lingual Braces
Our office also uses lingual braces, which attach to the lingual side (tongue side) of your teeth making these braces virtually invisible. These appliances are well-suited for adults, who may worry about the aesthetic nature of regular metal braces.
