Traditional braces
Metal braces are the most popular option for orthodontic patients. These work most effectively and efficiently to move teeth and provide the best results
Clear braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, and offer better esthetics because they blend in with the teeth and are less noticeable than conventional braces.
Removable aligners
These clear, removable aligners offer the best in esthetics, but must be worn all the time to achieve the best results. Not all patients are candidates for treatment with removable aligners. Ask your orthodontist if removable aligners could be used in your case.
Removable retainers
These are made of a hard acrylic material with wires used for minor teeth movement. Like removable aligners, these retainers must be worn all the time to achieve the best results.
