Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type. They're made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They're most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets are that they're more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between appointments.
Gold Braces
Gold braces are stainless steel braces coated with 24-karat gold, and they're popular with patients of all ages.
Invisalign®
The Invisalign system is a series of clear overlay templates - called aligners - that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Just ask us if you're a candidate for Invisalign.
