Invisalign®

These are a series of clear, removable aligners that fit over the teeth. The aligners are worn up to 22 hours a day and are removed for eating, brushing, and flossing only. Each aligner has built in corrections and is worn for two to three weeks at a time.

Metal

These are the most common types of braces and due to their improved, small size are more comfortable than ever. The ties that hold the wires to the brackets are also made in various colors and can be changed at each appointment.
Menu

Ceramic

These braces are made of a synthetic sapphire and appear clear and less visible. A ceramic brace is somewhat larger than a metal bracket but is more aesthetic in looks.
