Types of Braces

Traditional Metal Braces

These are the most common braces—now more compact and comfortable than ever. Made of stainless steel, they use brackets and archwires to align your teeth gradually. You can even personalize them with colorful rubber bands for a fun touch.

 

Self-Ligating Braces

Similar in appearance to metal braces, but with a high-tech twist. These braces use built-in clips instead of rubber bands, which means less friction, fewer office visits, and potentially faster progress.

 

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Designed to blend in with your teeth, clear ceramic braces are a popular choice for adults and teens looking for a more discreet option. While effective, they’re slightly more fragile and require good oral hygiene.

 

Clear Aligners

These removable, virtually invisible trays are a great alternative to braces. You can eat what you want and keep your brushing and flossing routine simple. Great for mild to moderate alignment cases.

 

Lingual Braces

Placed behind your teeth, lingual braces stay hidden when you smile. Fully customized for your bite, they’re a good fit for adults, performers, or anyone wanting complete discretion during treatment.
