Metal braces : Often also called “traditional braces,” metal braces have two basic components. These are the metal bracket that is applied to the teeth and the bendable metal wire that is threaded through the brackets in order to apply pressure to the teeth and ultimately move them. Traditional metal braces are made of high quality stainless steel or titanium. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.

Ceramic braces : are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts.

Lingual braces : are one of the "invisible" treatment options that your orthodontist may have to offer.For the most part, they look like conventional dental braces that have been mounted on the backside (reverse, lingual, tongue side) of your teeth. This hides them from view, making them difficult to see by others.

They can be very difficult to keep clean, as the wearer cannot see the braces, nor is he used to cleaning the area that he now has to clean extensively. They can also make it difficult to talk. Lingual braces are also not a good option for those that have severe orthodontic conditions that need extensive treatment. And because they take longer and are often more expensive than traditional braces.

Orthodontic headgear is a type of orthodontic appliance attached to the patient's head with a neck strap or a number of straps around the head. The device typically transfers the force to the teeth via a facebow or J hooks to the patients dental braces or a palatal expander that aids in correcting more severe bite problems or is used in retention of the teeth and jaws of the patient. Orthodontic headgear is the general name for an appliance, worn partly outside the mouth, which creates just enough force to move the teeth properly and guide the growth of the face and jaws.

Clear Aligners or Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment product for misaligned teeth meant to make teeth straightening convenient, safe and comfortable. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, made of soft comfortable medical grade polymer material. Patients can easily wear and take off these aligner trays depending on the situation, event or activity. For today’s busy teens and adults alike, Invisalign offers the ultimate flexibility, convenience and desired results.

Your clear aligners are custom-made for you. The aligners are virtually invisible and fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them horizontally and vertically and even rotating them when needed. Your aligners are engineered to use the right amount of force in the right place at the right time. When you change to the next set of aligners (typically every week) your teeth gradually move into position, following a custom treatment plan mapped out by your doctor. Removable aligners so you can enjoy all the foods and activities you love, and brush and floss easily. No injuries due to broken wires or brackets.

Self-ligating braces look very similar to the traditional fixed braces that orthodontists have used to straighten teeth for decades. However, they are now available with clear or ceramic brackets, making them far more discreet.

They also use clips instead of elastic bands to hold the brace’s wire in place. This creates less friction and makes it easier for you to brush around your brace and keep your teeth clean during your orthodontic treatment. They can also achieve precise results by giving your clinician complete control over the way our teeth move.
