Fixed Braces
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work like traditional metal braces, except that the brackets bonded to the teeth are made of ceramic. The brackets are tooth coloured and are nearly as strong as metal and can be used to treat most cases. Ceramic braces are a solution for patients who are looking for orthodontic brackets that blend in with the teeth and aren’t as visible as metal braces. Recent advancements in the materials used to fabricate ceramic braces have made these brackets stain resistant and very comfortable for the orthodontic patient. Treatment is usually more expensive than metal braces. Schedule a consultation to find out if Ceramic braces are your orthodontic solution.
Conventional Metal Braces
Conventional braces are metal brackets along with an elastic rubber called a "donut" to hold the wire onto the bracket. These types of braces are very strong and can withstand most types of treatment. They also tend to be inexpensive compared to other braces and can treat the most severe cases. Initially, metal braces may cause some discomfort to the cheeks and gums, but this typically subsides as patients adjust over the first few weeks. We also provide wax that can be applied to help with the initial discomfort. Metal braces are a solution to nearly all patients who need braces.
