Types of Braces & Aligners

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces are the tried-and-true method for straightening teeth, made from durable stainless steel. These braces use small metal brackets attached to your teeth, connected by wires that gently guide your smile into alignment. Modern metal braces are designed for comfort and allow you to customize your look with colorful rubber bands for a fun, personal touch.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces offer a more subtle approach by using tooth-colored or clear materials that blend with your natural teeth. They’re often chosen by teens and adults who prefer a less noticeable option. Because ceramic brackets are more delicate and slightly larger than metal ones, they require careful cleaning and are typically placed on the upper front teeth to minimize visibility.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth without wires or brackets. These aligners are comfortable and discreet, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and maintain your oral hygiene routine easily since they can be taken out. They’re an excellent option for those seeking a nearly invisible and irritation-free orthodontic treatment.
