Types of Braces
Metal Braces:
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of medical grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than metal braces in the past.
Ceramic Braces:
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are very popular with adult patients and older teens due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks to ceramic braces are that they are more fragile and slightly more expensive.
Invisalign:
The Invisalign system is a series of clear retainers called aligners that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adults and older teens with less severe orthodontic problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
