Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) at each visit for a more unique and colorful smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces are used on upper front teeth rather than on lower teeth.
In-Ovation Braces
The latest technology In-Ovation braces are a self-ligating bracket system that uses a metal door in place of elastic ligatures. In-Ovation braces are made using a unique Interactive technology which creates free sliding movement placing little to no pressure on the teeth. This technology enables orthodontists to treat cases easily and effectively while offering patients a faster, more comfortable and attractive treatment option. These braces are available in both clear or metal design.
Invisalign®
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. While in treatment, you can continue to eat all of your favorite foods with no food restrictions. The aligners are also easily removed to brush and floss your teeth.
