Types of Braces
Thanks to modern technology, patients now have more options for straightening their teeth. While traditional metal braces are still common, many adults choose clear or removable options for a more discreet look.
Metal
Metal braces are made of high-quality stainless steel and are the most common choice. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive, using elastic ties in various colors to gradually align teeth.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are placed on the back (tongue side) of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the front. They are custom-fitted to each tooth and gradually shift teeth into alignment. This discreet option is ideal for patients who want the effectiveness of braces without them being noticeable.
Clear
Clear braces are made from translucent ceramic, making them a popular option for adults who want a less noticeable treatment. They straighten teeth like metal braces but are slightly more fragile, offering a balance of aesthetics and effectiveness.
In-Ovation R
In-Ovation R braces are small, attractive brackets designed to improve comfort and speed up treatment. Their innovative system allows orthodontists to work efficiently while providing patients with a more streamlined and visually appealing option.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made with advanced computer software. Each aligner gently moves teeth over time. This nearly invisible system is perfect for adults with mild to moderate bite issues who prefer a removable and discreet option.
In-Ovation C
In-Ovation C braces are self-ligating, featuring built-in clips to hold wires without elastic ties. This design offers precise control, faster treatment, and increased comfort, while maintaining a cleaner, more efficient approach to aligning teeth.
