Traditional Braces

Tried and trusted, traditional braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth. With our experience, we’ll guide you through treatment and help you achieve a healthy, confident smile that lasts.

Clear Ceramic Braces

If you need the strength of braces but prefer a more subtle look, ceramic braces are a great choice. Their tooth-colored brackets blend in with your beautiful smile. You will feel less self-conscious during treatment

Retainers

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, we’ll give you a custom retainer. It keeps your teeth in their new positions. We offer both removable and fixed options. You can protect your smile for years to come.

Expanders

Expanders are often used for younger patients to prepare for future orthodontic work. By gently widening the upper jaw, they create room for teeth to align properly. It can help address bite concerns early on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metal/Clear Braces

What’s the difference between metal braces and ceramic braces?

Both metal and ceramic braces use the same bracket-and-wire system to move teeth into alignment. The difference comes down to appearance. Metal braces use stainless steel brackets, which are visible on the teeth. Ceramic braces feature tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend more naturally with your smile. Your orthodontist will help you decide which option best suits your goals, budget, and lifestyle.

Can I choose the color of my braces?

Yes! With metal braces, kids and teens enjoy picking colorful elastic bands at each adjustment to show off their personality. Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets for a subtle appearance. The elastic ties are often clear or white. If you prefer a discreet look, your orthodontist can help you select colors that blend naturally with your teeth. If you like variety, you can change colors at each visit. It’s a fun way to personalize your braces while your smile transforms.

How do I care for my braces?

Caring for braces means keeping your teeth, gums, and brackets clean. You’ll avoid plaque buildup and prevent staining. Brush after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Floss daily with the help of floss threaders or orthodontic floss picks. Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods that could damage your brackets or wires. With ceramic braces, it’s especially important to avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and dark sauces. Our team will give you personalized instructions for caring for your braces.
