Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common and time-tested orthodontic option—and they’re more comfortable and efficient today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces use small brackets and archwires to gently guide teeth into alignment. Want to add some personality? Choose from a variety of fun, colorful elastics to show off your unique style at every visit!

 

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces look and function much like traditional braces but feature a specialized clip instead of elastic ties to hold the wire in place. This innovative design allows the wire to move more freely, reducing friction and potentially the number of adjustments needed. Self-ligating braces are available in metal, ceramic, or clear styles, offering a comfortable and efficient way to achieve a beautiful smile.

 

Ceramic (Clear) Braces

Ceramic braces are made of tooth-colored materials, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They’re a popular choice for older teens and adults who want a more discreet treatment option. While ceramic braces are highly aesthetic, they do require a bit of extra care since the brackets are slightly larger and more delicate than metal ones. For these reasons, they’re often used on the upper front teeth, where appearance matters most.
