Still the most common orthodontic method to correctly align teeth, establish a functional bite and create a beautiful natural smile.
Made from high quality stainless steel or titanium alloys, metal braces help straighten teeth and correct bite issues using stainless steel brackets with thin metal wires.
The conventional metal braces have been around for about 100 years, that can perform and correct complex tooth movements, making them a popular choice.
Our patients love that they with metal braces, they are able to add coloured bands on the brackets. This is common for younger children who want to add a bit of flair to their braces!
Ceramic braces are a popular alternative for those that want a less visible treatment.
Ceramic braces work exactly like traditional metal braces with the only difference being the brackets are made from a very fine translucent, tooth-coloured porcelain that makes the braces almost invisible. Ceramic braces are a great cosmetic alternative to traditional metal braces as these brackets blend in with your natural tooth coloured creating a less obvious appearance.
Ceramic braces are frequently used on teenagers and adults who have cosmetic concerns. They do however, require more attention than traditional braces, as they are a little more brittle and can stain easier.
Incognito lingual braces are a modern treatment and are an invisible alternative to conventional metal braces. Lingual braces are a discreet, yet effective, alternative to traditional braces. They are attached to the inner surfaces of the upper and lower teeth, meaning that they are virtually hidden from view.
Lingual braces can be placed over the entire upper and or lower teeth, or they can be placed only on the front 8 teeth should only cosmetic correction be desired. As they are invisible from the outside, this option is popular for patients who are concerned about the obvious appearance of traditional braces or who play an impact sport or musical instrument. Lingual braces are the ultimate in discretionary orthodontics.
