Time-Tested Orthodontic Care

Traditional orthodontics are considered the gold standard for correcting complex bite and alignment concerns. Using fixed brackets and archwires, this time-tested approach applies steady, gentle pressure to move teeth into their ideal positions. Modern braces effectively close gaps, relieve crowding, and correct overbites and underbites—and are now smaller, more comfortable, and designed to deliver reliable, long-lasting results.

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most widely used orthodontic treatment and are more comfortable than ever before. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, they use metal brackets and archwires to effectively straighten teeth. Patients can also personalize their treatment by choosing colored elastics, adding a fun and unique touch to their smile.

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces but do not require elastic bands. This design reduces friction on the teeth and often means fewer adjustment appointments. Available in metal, ceramic, or clear brackets, self-ligating braces are similar in size to traditional metal braces. Instead of elastics, they use a specialized built-in clip to hold the archwire in place, allowing teeth to move more comfortably and efficiently. This system applies gentler pressure and typically requires fewer adjustments since there are no elastics to replace.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Ceramic braces are made from clear or tooth-colored materials, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Because of their more discreet appearance, they are commonly chosen by older teenagers and adults who are concerned about aesthetics. While ceramic braces are visually subtle, they require extra attention to oral hygiene. They are slightly larger and more fragile than metal braces, which is why they are often recommended for the upper front teeth rather than the lower teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners use a series of nearly invisible, removable acrylic trays to straighten teeth, offering an effective alternative to traditional braces. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat and drink without restrictions and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine with ease. Designed for comfort, clear aligners contain no metal, reducing the risk of mouth irritation during treatment.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile. These braces are fully customized to fit the unique shape of your teeth, with metal components designed specifically for your treatment. Lingual braces are an excellent option for athletes, performers, musicians who play wind instruments, and adult professionals seeking a disc
