Metal braces
When you picture braces, traditional metal braces are often the type of braces that come to mind first. While orthodontic care has had many advancements, metal braces are still the gold standard for straightening teeth effectively. Modern metal braces are crafted from high-quality stainless steel, providing greater comfort and a smaller design than ever. They are an excellent orthodontic treatment option for individuals of all ages, including adults, teenagers, and children. We’ve found that younger patients enjoy personalizing their braces with colorful elastics, and our adult patients often prefer neutral-colored elastics.
Clear braces
Clear braces work like traditional metal braces but have translucent ceramic brackets instead of metal. The archwires and elastic ties are also transparent or white for a balanced, discreet look. This type of braces can handle many of the same orthodontic issues as metal braces and is a popular choice for adults and teens looking for invisible braces option.
Clear aligners
Clear aligners are a virtually invisible braces alternative, popular with adults and teens who desire a more discreet orthodontic treatment option. Clear aligner therapy involves a series of plastic trays custom-made for you that gently shift your teeth into alignment. One of the main advantages of clear aligners vs. braces is the ability to remove them when eating or drinking anything other than water. Although they’re removable, wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours daily is vital to achieving the desired results. On average, treatment with clear aligners takes 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on individual needs. Throughout your clear aligner therapy, you will have check-ups with your family orthodontist approximately every 12 weeks to monitor your progress. Like other types of braces, once your clear aligner therapy concludes, you will receive a custom-fitted retainer to ensure your new smile lasts a lifetime.
