Types of Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored O-ties for a more unique and colorful smile.

We are excited to be transitioning to the In-Ovation® R self-ligating bracket! This system was designed with patient comfort in mind. Each bracket has been engineered to the smallest specification possible, meaning you enjoy a less instrusive treatment procedure. And the free sliding technology means fewer apppointments and less chair time. It's a treatment that fits your life and your lifestyle, all the while helping you achieve the smile you've always wanted!

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Ceramic 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. 

In-Ovation® C braces are crafted from a translucent ceramic that naturally blends with your teeth. This enables you to smile with confidence while you're getting treated. In-Ovation® C is the comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to transform your smile from average to artistic. 

 

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
