Traditional metal braces are a well-loved and classic orthodontic appliance. Traditional braces use a series of metal brackets that are attached to your teeth and connected using an adjustable metal wire. These braces gradually shift your teeth into a healthier smile.
Metal braces require regular wire adjustments. These adjustments gradually increase the amount of pressure to correct misaligned bites.
Clear braces—also called “ceramic braces”—operate using the same principle as metal braces, but feature an advanced construction that provides a less visible treatment experience. Their transparent brackets and components blend into a person’s smile.
Clear braces are contoured to fit comfortably in your mouth. They are made of a durable material that can stand up to the demands of any lifestyle.
