Types of Braces

 

Orthodontic Treatment Options

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable than ever before. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they straighten your teeth with metal brackets and archwires. You can even add colorful elastics (rubber bands) for a fun, personalized smile!

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Made from clear materials, ceramic braces blend in with your teeth and are less noticeable than metal braces. They are popular with older teens and adults who want a more discreet option. Because they are more fragile and require extra care, ceramic braces are often used on upper front teeth rather than lower teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of removable, virtually invisible appliances that gently straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. They are comfortable, easy to take out for eating and cleaning, and won’t cause mouth abrasions. Clear aligners let you enjoy your favorite foods and keep up with oral hygiene easily during treatment.
