Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel, which are the most common type of braces. The brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by the archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive, while still providing excellent control.
Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable. They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The drawbacks to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, the clear elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits, and the archwire is still visible.
Clear aligners are made of durable plastic or acrylic material. They effectively straighten teeth without brackets and wires. Clear aligners are customized, comfortable and removable. Ask us if clear aligners are a good treatment option for you.
