Traditional Silver Braces - Traditional Silver Braces are a good, cost-effective option for kids, teens, and adults. Because of their durability and cost-effectiveness, they are the most popular braces used in orthodontics. These brackets are made of stainless steel…this makes the brackets very durable to help prevent breakage. With traditional braces, silver-colored brackets are bonded to the outsides of your teeth. Each bracket has edges known as “wings”. Metal or elastic bands are tied around these wings to hold the orthodontic wire in place. The wire is what actually causes the teeth to move, with the bracket serving as an anchor site on each of your teeth. As you move along in your treatment, the wires will be changed to straighten teeth to your desired result.
Clear Or Ceramic Braces - Ceramic braces are an option to correct your bite and straighten your smile. Ceramic braces work just like traditional silver braces, however, they are made of a tooth-colored ceramic material and are nearly invisible. Many people opt for ceramic braces because they’re less noticeable on the teeth. This can be a huge advantage if you’re considering braces and don’t want to feel self-conscious about wearing them. Ceramic braces are a good choice if you want your braces to be subtle.
Clear Aligners - Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal braces. Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear trays that cover your teeth and gently push them into the proper position over time. Because they are clear and can be taken on and off, they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. With Invisalign clear aligners there are no metal brackets or wires to detract from your smile while undergoing treatment. Invisalign clear aligners are made from BPA-free plastic, and they are often more comfortable than traditional silver braces. Both teenagers and adults can wear Invisalign. These clear aligners are used to close gaps between teeth, as well as treating overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and overcrowded teeth. However, certain types of orthodontic problems still require braces on the teeth to be corrected.
