Traditional Braces

Traditional Metal braces are the most common type of braces and have evolved to become much more comfortable than they used to be. The latest materials move teeth faster and with less discomfort! With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile. Learn more about traditional braces here.

The Damon System

The Damon System allows your teeth to shift easier and more comfortably by using self-ligating brackets that allow for better results in a shorter period of time. These are considered the most efficient form of braces requiring fewer appointments and shorter visits. If you’re interested in learning more about The Damon System, click here.

Clear Braces

These braces are made out of clear, ceramic materials making them less visible than traditional metal braces. Clear braces are the cosmetic option for braces typically used on older teens and adults. Being ceramic, these braces require a little more attention to oral hygiene to sustain them.
