Types Of Braces We Offer

Traditional Metal Braces

Advancements in traditional braces have made them smaller, stronger, more efficient and less obvious. While metal brackets are common, we now have clear and tooth-colored ceramic and plastic brackets as well. These options, due to their clear or natural color, blend in with your teeth making them less noticeable.

Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners are a popular and effective treatment option that offers a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces. This approach to orthodontics involves wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into their correct positions, without the use of wires or brackets.

Ideal for both teens and adults, clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to confidently go about your daily activities without the aesthetic concerns often associated with traditional braces. The aligners are also removable, which means you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making them a convenient choice for maintaining good oral hygiene during your orthodontic treatment.

Advantages of Early Treatment

Early treatment offers several advantages. It allows us to move the front teeth back so they will be less susceptible to injury, improve the relationship of upper and lower jaws, allowing more normal future growth and development, and improve facial appearance and self-esteem.

It also allows us to take maximum advantage of growth for successful treatment and possibly avoid or reduce the need for further treatment when patients are older.

Braces for Kids

Treatment can be started on certain types of tooth problems before all permanent teeth have erupted. Early treatment, usually begun after the four permanent upper and lower front teeth have erupted (ages 7–9), is recommended when certain problems are apparent. This includes issues such as overjet, underbite, deep bite, open bite, crowding, crossbite, midline misalignment, and excess spacing.

Braces for Adults

Today, 1 in 4 orthodontic patients are adults. The major difference between child and adult treatment is that adult bones are no longer growing. This means that it may take a little longer for adult teeth to move into their correct position. In general, adult treatment takes between eighteen and thirty months.
