Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of medical grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

 

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal.

 

Invisalign®

The Invisalign® System is a series of clear overlay templates-called aligners-that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign® system.

 

Sure Smile

What makes SureSmile different?

Just about everything.

SureSmile is more than a single advance in orthodontic technology. It's an end-to-end treatment process that draws from elements of several leading-edge technologies to:

  • Shorten treatment time
  • Reduce the number of adjustments
  • Reduce the number of office visits
  • Reduce discomfort

 

Lingual Braces

In selective cases we can also use robotic technology in combination with braces behind the upper teeth. This offers the next generation of speed, precision and invisibility compared to other systems. Because they are placed behind your teeth no one will know you are wearing braces unless you tell them.
