Traditional
Braces
Beyond their traditional
color, the only thing traditional about these braces is that you can see them.
Contemporary braces are made of super strong metal alloys derived from the space
program. Their strength allows them to be the smallest of all braces and
therefore the most comfortable. Their density makes them ultra slippery so teeth
move faster than they ever have before. Today's braces, in combination with
other high tech materials mean fewer office visits to complete
treatment. The choice in colors of the "rubber bands" on the front teeth makes braces popular for preteen and teenagers.
Clear
Braces
Ceramic braces
utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about aesthetic
appearances. Ceramic brackets are translucent, so they blend in with your
natural tooth color. This means that unlike traditional stainless steel braces,
with ceramic braces your smile will not look 'metallic.' In addition, ceramic
brackets are designed so that they won't stain or discolor over long periods of
time. An orthodontist can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic
braces.
