Traditional Braces

Braces are an orthodontic treatment used to correct an abnormal bite or straighten misaligned teeth. Without correction, crooked teeth or an abnormal bite can lead to various dental health issues including:

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces used in orthodontics, as they are the tried-and-true method to straightening teeth, regardless of the severity of the case. Metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel and utilize brackets, small rubber bands, and archwires to straighten your teeth during the course of your treatment process. They have progressed a long way in the past decade, so they can now ensure better comfort while you wear them. They are also a great way to customize your smile by using different colored rubber bands. You can customize these at each visit according to your personal preference.

For patients who seek the functionality of traditional metal braces but with a more discreet look, ceramic braces are a great option. You’ll be struck by smooth, sculpted, and completely clear ceramic braces, which will not stain or discolor and which can be blended in with your unique tooth shade. Even the brackets are clear, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing braces! Their comfortable, sculpted design and attractive translucent appearance help provide the self-confidence that comes from wearing braces that look as good as they perform.
