Types of braces

Your braces options

Metal braces

Metal braces stand out for their durability and efficiency in correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. As the traditional choice for braces, they offer reliable results through high-grade stainless steel.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to metal braces by blending in with the natural color of your teeth. These braces combine aesthetic appeal with effective treatment, making them especially popular among adults and teenagers who prefer a less noticeable orthodontic solution.

Invisalign

Invisalign stands out for its almost invisible appearance, offering an aesthetic and comfortable way to straighten teeth. Custom-made, clear plastic aligners gently shift teeth into place without the need for traditional braces.

Same-day braces

In many cases, patients can begin treatment on the same day as their consultation.

How braces have changed

Although traditional metal braces are still a mainstay in the industry, improvements have made them less frightful. With smaller brackets, they are more comfortable while remaining effective. Clear Braces work in the same manner, but they use a clear ceramic bracket. This allows the brackets to blend with your natural tooth coloration, making them less noticeable.

Choosing your braces

Looks

How your braces look matters just as much as their functionality. Ceramic braces and Invisalign cater to those who prioritize a discreet appearance, seamlessly integrating with your daily life.

Comfort

Comfort is key in orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners, celebrated for their comfortable fit, avoid the irritation often caused by traditional braces.

Time

How long each option is likely to take depends on your case; your orthodontist explains it at your consultation.

Cost

The cost of braces varies depending on the type of braces and the complexity of the treatment.
