Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces, and they’re more comfortable today than ever before. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they use brackets and archwires to gently guide your teeth into place. You can even add colored elastics to make your smile your own.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use the same materials as traditional braces but don’t require elastics. Instead, a specialized clip holds the archwire in place. This reduces friction on the tooth, can mean fewer office visits, and makes adjustments quicker since there are no elastics to swap out.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your smile. They’re a popular choice for patients who want effective treatment with a lower-profile look. The wires can also be tooth-colored, making them even less noticeable.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a removable, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. A series of custom-fit plastic trays gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal positions. They’re comfortable, easy to clean, and let you eat whatever you like. Visit our clear aligners page to learn more.
