Ceramic braces blend strength with subtlety. Their translucent brackets and stain-resistant materials are designed to match your natural teeth, making them a great option for patients who want a less noticeable alternative to metal. They offer the reliability of traditional braces with a more aesthetic appearance.
The most common and cost-effective option, metal braces, has come a long way. Made from high-grade stainless steel, these braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than in the past. Customize your look with colorful elastics at every visit for a fun, personal touch.
Once placed on your teeth, braces place constant pressure on your teeth, and the force of the pressure helps move teeth into proper position. At each appointment, your orthodontist may tighten the archwires. In addition to braces, some patients may need to wear rubber bands or headgear. Patients wearing braces may notice their teeth feeling a little loose. This is normal and temporary; once the teeth are done moving this feeling will go away.
Braces are still the most popular, quickest, and most cost-effective orthodontic treatment available. Our orthodontists can help you determine what treatment is best for your individual case.
