Traditional Metal Braces (for young children only)
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.
"R"™ High Technology Braces
"R"™ High Technology Braces are not only an efficient, aesthetically pleasing appliance, but it also reduces the hygiene problems associated with ties used on most braces. The small brackets have a lower profile and the special "interactive clip" on "R" Braces allows for shorter appointments, fewer visits and reduced discomfort.
Clarity™ Ceramic Braces
Clarity™ Metal-Reinforced Ceramic Braces are metal-lined translucent brackets which may be used whenever metal braces are appropriate for treatment. Clarity braces feature smooth corners and a dome-shaped profile that's great for patient comfort. Clarity brackets offer easy debonding, smooth sliding mechanics and the same strength as metal. The brackets are made of clear materials to "blend" with the color of your teeth and the ceramic brackets won't stain or discolor. You can individualize your Clarity braces with colored bands just as you can metal braces.
Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances - Invisalign®
Invisalign® uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten you 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.
