Proven Orthodontic Solutions for Lasting Results
Traditional orthodontic treatments remain the gold standard for addressing complex bite and alignment issues. By using fixed brackets and archwires, this proven method applies consistent, gentle pressure to shift teeth into their ideal positions. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and highly effective at closing gaps, reducing crowding, and correcting overbites and underbites—delivering reliable, long-lasting results.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most commonly used orthodontic treatment and are now more comfortable than ever. Made from high-quality stainless steel, these braces use metal brackets and archwires to gradually straighten your teeth. You can also add a personal touch by choosing colored elastics, making your braces as unique as your smile.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional braces but don't require elastic bands. This design reduces friction, allowing for a more comfortable treatment process and typically fewer adjustment appointments. Available in metal, ceramic, or clear brackets, they use a specialized clip to hold the archwire in place. This system applies gentler pressure and is more efficient, requiring less maintenance due to the absence of elastics.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Made from clear or tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces are a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces. These are often chosen by teens and adults who prefer a more discreet treatment option. While they offer a more subtle appearance, ceramic braces require extra care in oral hygiene. They are slightly larger and more fragile than metal braces, making them ideal for the upper front teeth rather than the lower teeth.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, using a series of nearly invisible, removable trays to straighten teeth. The aligners are convenient, as they can be removed when eating or drinking, and make brushing and flossing easy. Comfortable and made from acrylic, they contain no metal parts, reducing the risk of mouth irritation during treatment.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed on the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile. Custom-fitted to your unique dental structure, these braces are made from metal components specifically designed for your treatment. Lingual braces are a great choice for athletes, performers, musicians, and adults who want a discreet orthodontic solution.
