Braces

Orthodontic appliances help guide teeth to their ideal position. Braces consist of brackets and bands (which are bonded directly to your teeth with a special orthodontic cement), as well as wires and elastic ties. We offer both metal and clear ceramic braces. Colored ties can be used for those patients who are young or young-at-heart!

Our office also uses self-ligating bracket technology. This bracketing system reduces the amount of friction between the bracket and the archwire, and can significantly reduce treatment time. These metal brackets are small in size and more comfortable to wear. In addition, there is no need for elastic ties so good oral hygiene is easier to maintain.
