Orthodontics is best accomplished using braces to straighten your teeth. Braces are made up of brackets, bands and wires. Brackets are small metal attachments that are glued to the teeth, and bands are little metal rings that go on the back teeth where biting forces are stronger. Wires are attached to the brackets and bands to straighten the teeth. The wires are fastened to the braces with rubber ties which are available in a variety of colors. We offer three different types of braces:
Traditional--These braces are the easiest to take care of and allow your treatment to progress the fastest. With these braces, we can change the color of your ties at every appointment.
Clear--Clear brackets give less noticeable appearance to your braces.
Gold--Gold brackets give a softer look to your braces and look great with clear upper brackets.
