Traditional metal braces are the most widely used type of braces. They are crafted from high-grade stainless steel and use brackets and archwires to align your teeth. You can personalize them with colorful elastics for a fun, customized look.

Ceramic braces offer a less noticeable alternative to metal braces because they are made from clear materials. These are particularly popular among older teenagers and adults who are concerned about aesthetics. However, they require more meticulous oral hygiene as they are larger and more fragile than metal braces. Typically, ceramic braces are recommended for upper front teeth due to their visibility.

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, provide a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. These removable trays are custom-made from smooth, comfortable acrylic that won’t irritate your mouth. Their removability allows for normal eating and easy cleaning, making them a convenient option for many patients seeking a discreet orthodontic solution.
