These are the most common type of braces. Made of nickel-free high-grade steel, they are much smaller and more comfortable than those in the past. We offer a variety of colored elastics which are changed at every appointment.
Clear Braces are made of porcelain or ceramic. The brackets are tooth colored and are less noticeable than conventional brackets made of metal because they blend in with the color of the teeth. They work the same way as metal braces. Many patients that want a beautiful smile, but want to make their braces less noticeable, choose this option for treatment.
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign®) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are 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.
