Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain the most widely used and effective orthodontic option. Today’s brackets are smaller, lighter, and made from durable stainless steel for improved comfort. Patients can also customize their braces with colorful elastics, making the experience more fun and personal—especially for kids and teens.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, or clear braces, are a popular choice for patients seeking a less noticeable treatment. These braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires that blend with your natural teeth, offering the same effective results as metal braces with a more subtle appearance—ideal for teens and adults who prefer a low-profile look.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom aligners to gently straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. These aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. Comfortable and discreet, Invisalign is a great option for those who want effective treatment that fits seamlessly into daily life.
