Curious about Which Type of Braces are Best for You? Call Smile Exchange Orthodontics to Schedule a Complimentary Consultation!
Thanks to today’s technology and innovation in orthodontics, patients now have many options when it comes to treatment. While traditional metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular, as well as invisible removable aligners (Invisalign®) that can be worn by patients self-conscious about treatment.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces used today. They are smaller and more comfortable than ever before and constructed of high-grade space age metal alloys.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic Braces work like metal braces, only better, because they blend in with your teeth for a great look. They are a perfect combination of strength and beauty.
Invisalign Aligners
Clear appliances, such as Invisalign, use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. No one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible!
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are the invisible alternative for patients who don’t want to wear braces or when Invisalign is not an option. Placed behind your teeth, these unique braces are created using state-of-the-art technology and are 100% customized to the shape of your teeth and dental situation.
Self-ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. These clips help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
