Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.

SPEED Braces

SPEED braces are 3 times smaller than the traditional braces. They are also more comfortable and much more hygienic. SPEED braces store energy, which causes a continuous light force. They are miniaturized spring loaded braces which are activated whenever the teeth aren't in the correct postion. With patient cooperation the amount of time of orthodontic treatment can drastically be decreased with the use of SPEED braces. For more information visit: : www.speedsystem.com.

Gold Braces

Gold braces are similar to traditional metal braces in many ways. They are made of stainless steel, but are uniquely coated in gold. The gold coating may be considered a more cosmetic option than traditional metal braces. And, the cost of gold braces is surprisingly comparable to most clear braces.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth. We understand your fears and concerns which is why we offer the ceramic braces at the same price as the traditional metal braces.

Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances

Invisalign®
Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten you teeth. No one can tell you are wearing Invisalign because it’s invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Click here to learn more about Invisalign.
