Types of Braces
Traditional Metal Braces SPEED BracesSPEED 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 BracesGold 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 BracesCeramic 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 AppliancesInvisalign® | ||
