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 your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces,
you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more
unique and colorful smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore 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 tend to be used more on upper front teeth
than on lower teeth.
Invisalign®
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners
to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing Invisalign because
it's invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable,
so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and
flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal
to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Click here to learn more about Invisalign.
