Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel. They are the most common type of braces. The brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth and are connected by an arch wire which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than ever.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are a popular esthetic option when clear aligners may not be an option or someone does not think they will be diligent enough to wear clear aligners. As one might suspect, these brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
