braces
Braces are the most common type of orthodontic appliance used in our office.
Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel. Our brackets are manufactured in Wisconsin by American Orthodontics. The brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by the archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive.
ceramic braces
Ceramic brackets are a clear alternative to the traditional metal braces. Ceramic brackets are a popular choice amongst adult patients due to their esthetic nature. Although they are more esthetic, ceramics are more fragile compared to traditional metal braces. However, patients can expect similar treatment times and results, regardless of which type of bracket is utilized.
