Traditional Braces
Braces are more than just a way to achieve a beautiful smile—they’re a vital tool for correcting dental issues that can impact your overall oral health.
At Smile Orthodontics, we provide a variety of traditional braces systems to meet the unique needs of our patients. Our options include:
Traditional Metal Twin Brackets
These are the most common type of braces, made from high-quality stainless steel. They consist of brackets that are bonded to your teeth and connected by a metal wire. Traditional metal braces are effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues and are durable, making them a popular choice.
Self-Ligating Brackets
Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip mechanism to hold the archwire in place, eliminating the need for traditional elastic or metal ties. This system can reduce friction and make adjustments easier, leading to a more comfortable experience and potentially shorter treatment times.
Ceramic Brackets
For patients seeking a more discreet option, ceramic braces blend in with your natural tooth color. They work similarly to traditional metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets. While less noticeable, they may require extra care to keep them clean and free from stains.
Mini Brackets
Mini brackets are smaller and more compact than traditional brackets, making them less noticeable on the teeth. They offer a similar level of effectiveness and comfort, with the added benefit of being less invasive.
