For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the motivation for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with traditional braces greatly improves the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile of your dreams and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Traditional 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, these 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.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces and have the same look. However, self-ligating braces do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the arch wire guide teeth into place. This clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and requires fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
