Traditional Braces
Beyond their traditional color, the only thing traditional about these adult braces is that you can see them. Contemporary adult braces are made of super strong metal alloys derived from the space program. Their strength allows them to be the smallest of all braces and therefore the most comfortable. Their density makes them ultra slippery so teeth move faster than they ever have before. Today's adult braces, in combination with other high tech materials mean fewer office visits to complete treatment.
Clear Braces
Ceramic adult braces utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about aesthetic appearances. Ceramic brackets are translucent, so they blend in with your natural tooth color. This means that unlike traditional stainless steel braces, with ceramic adult braces your smile will not look 'metallic.' In addition, ceramic brackets are designed so that they won't stain or discolor over long periods of time. An dentist can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic braces.
