Beyond their traditional color, the only thing traditional about these braces is that you can see them. Contemporary 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 braces, in combination with other high tech materials mean fewer office visits to complete treatment.



Clear Braces

Ceramic 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 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 orthodontist can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic braces.



Invisalign

Developed with orthodontists, Invisalign is a virtually invisible solution, so you can smile both during treatment and after.  In fact, almost no one will know you are wearing them unless you tell.  By using a series of clear, rtemovable aligners that are changed about every two weeks, Invisalign gradually moves you teeth toward the smile you've always wanted.
