Types of Braces
Damon Braces System
The days of having braces tightened are over! The Damon System braces use a unique slide mechanism that minimizes the friction and binding of conventional braces, which in turn reduce the pressure on your teeth allowing them to move more comfortably into their correct position. Using high technology archwires enable the teeth to move faster in shorter treatment times, fewer appointments and in most cases without extractions. After all, it's about time you got a smile you'll enjoy showing off, quicker than you ever thought!
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
Invisalign®
The Invisalign System® is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system®.
