Traditional Metal Braces (Tried, True, and Effective)
Metal braces have come a long way. Today’s brackets are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, traditional braces remain one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues — from simple crowding to complex bite problems.
Benefits
- Proven, effective results
- Great for all ages
- Customizable with colorful bands
Clear (Ceramic) Braces (Subtle Style, Strong Performance)
Clear braces work just like traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or transparent ceramic brackets for a more discreet appearance. They’re a popular option for teens and adults who want effective treatment with less visibility.
Benefits
- Blends with natural teeth
- Less noticeable than metal
- Ideal for image-conscious patients
Self-Ligating Braces (Advanced Design for Faster Results)
Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably. This design can reduce treatment time and the number of office visits.
Benefits
- Fewer adjustments needed
- Potential for shorter treatment time
- Easier to keep clean
