Types of Dental Braces

Types of Dental Braces

When you think of dental braces, you may think of the traditional metal brackets and wires. However, technology has evolved so that there are many types of braces to choose from now. The type of braces that is best for you depends on the extent of treatment needed, how long you will need treatment, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Your orthodontist will tell you about the different types of braces that will work best for your diagnosis and answer any questions you have.

Clear Braces

Clear Braces

Clear bracket braces are our most aesthetic option, offering tooth-colored ceramic brackets that are nearly invisible against any tooth shade. They’re resistant to stains and odors, and have a smooth surface so they are very comfortable to wear. Clear braces are very popular with people who do a lot of public speaking, such as teachers, sales representatives, and other professionals.

• Nearly invisible against any tooth shade
• Smooth surface
• Stain-resistant
• Odor-resistant

Clear Combo Braces

A combination of clear brackets and metal brackets is an aesthetic, budget-friendly choice for many of our patients. Your orthodontist will discuss which method is the best one for you so you can have an aesthetic and affordable smile while going through your orthodontic treatment.

• Clear ceramic brackets on top teeth
• Traditional metal brackets on bottom teeth
• Aesthetic, budget-friendly choice

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

Gone are the days of “railroad track” smiles. Today’s metal braces use high-grade stainless steel brackets that can be customized with clear or colored bands. Children and teenagers in particular enjoy accessorizing their braces with bands that reflect their school colors, team colors, or simply their favorite colors. Metal braces are the most economical choice, and still the most popular type.

• High-grade stainless-steel brackets
• Most economical choice
• Can customize with colored bands
