Types of Braces

Damon Braces

We are proud to be the first orthodontic practice in our area to offer the newest, most innovative brackets available today.  The Damon bracket system is state-of-the art technology at it's best. These self ligating brackets are smaller in size, produce exceptional results in less time, with less discomfort than conventional brackets. To find out more about this outstanding system visit www.damonbraces.com.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than the conventional metal braces of the past.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks 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.
