Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type used today. They are smaller, more comfortable, and made from high-grade metal alloys for enhanced durability. Patients can customize their look with colorful elastics (rubber bands), adding a fun touch to their orthodontic treatment while effectively straightening their teeth.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, or clear braces, feature tooth-colored brackets and wires, offering a discreet option for treatment. Ideal for teens and adults, they blend well with your natural teeth. This subtle approach allows patients to perfect their smiles while minimizing the visibility of their braces during the process.

Invisalign® Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners provide a removable, comfortable, and discreet option for straightening teeth. They allow you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene while eliminating metal components that can cause discomfort, making them a convenient choice for a smooth treatment experience.

Cosmetic Braces

Cosmetic braces provide a discreet and stylish method for straightening your teeth, blending naturally with your smile for a polished appearance with rhodium-plated brackets. Designed for comfort and precision, these braces utilize advanced technology to achieve excellent results, making orthodontic treatment both effective and elegant for a beautiful smile.
