What are My Options for Metal Braces?
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Gold Braces
Iconix™ offers a light gold finish that blends beautifully with your teeth, and a small, smooth design that is comfortable with the durability of traditional metal braces and the aesthetics that rival ceramic braces.
Ceramic Braces
Symetri Clear™ Braces are made of particularly stable ceramics comparable to the strength of steel. Translucent material that blends with your teeth, providing virtually unnoticeable treatment and allowing you to smile confidently. Symetri Clear™ braces give you the confidence you need to flash an amazing smile, both during treatment and after!
What are Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances?
Invisalign®
Invisalign® uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And, no one can tell you are wearing Invisalign because it's invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
