Types Of Braces




Metal Braces


Metal braces are the most popular with children and teenagers. They have fun using different colors of ligature ties (that can be changed at each appointment) to dress them up. These braces are much smaller than ever before which makes them much more comfortable.






Gold Braces


Gold braces are part of a synchronized system of distinctive 24-carat gold-plated orthodontic brackets, archwires, and represent the latest advances in both beauty and technology. The luster of these distinctive gold-plated braces is reminiscent of fine quality jewelry, creating a stunning new smile that instantly sets you apart from the crowd. The soft, satiny gold color of the gold braces adds just the right touch of style and sparkle to a beautiful smile. Gold braces are also an option when patients are allergic to nickel which is a minor component of metal braces and earring posts.







Clear Braces


Translucent clear ceramic braces are the most popular with adults and older teens. Less noticeable braces may also help boost your self-esteem. You may feel more self assured knowing the natural look of your teeth is shining through. That's something to smile about.

They blend with your teeth's color, bond to teeth in a manner comparable to metal braces, and are designed to stay securely in place without the worry of discoloration. You have to be very close for someone to see them. If Invisalign is not a good option for someone, these braces are the next best thing!
