Treatment Options

Metal Braces:
 
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more atttactive.

Ceramic Braces:

Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material.  They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. Several drawbacks to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

Invisalign:

The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates--called aligners--that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to older patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for Invisalign System.
