Metal Braces: There’s always a silver lining!
The most common type of braces are the traditional silver (metal) braces. But, metal braces have come a long way over the years! With today’s advanced, space-aged technology, these sleek and stylish brackets are comfortable and move your teeth more efficiently than ever before. Developed with surgical grade stainless steel, these braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and wires that are less noticeable. Many of our patients choose to add their favorite team colors to their braces, or celebrate special events by showcasing unique color combinations. Colors are simple elastics added to the braces and may be changed at each appointment.
The Clear Choice: Ceramic!
Some patients prefer a more esthetic option. For patients who want orthodontic correction, but do not want the look of metal braces on their teeth, we offer clear or tooth-color braces which are made of ceramic or porcelain materials. These braces aren’t as visible and are a great option for our adult patients. If you choose our esthetic braces, our team will be happy to answer all of your questions, and cover all aspects of the difference in care. If you decide you want colors on your braces, the colors really pop on the ceramic brackets! Ceramic braces give you the ability to make a statement when you want to and be discreet when you don’t!
Invisible: Align with comfort!
If you are unsure whether or not braces are for you, ask us whether or not you may be a candidate for aligner treatment! Clear aligners are removable trays that straighten your teeth just like braces. The big difference is that they are nearly invisible! Because they are removable, there are fewer dietary restrictions than with braces. Excellent oral hygiene is much easier to maintain, as well! There are no metal braces inside your mouth, so there are often no lip or cheek irritation issues after beginning aligner therapy. This is one of our most popular options for teens and adults!
We offer both Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners as our invisible options. Schedule your complimentary evaluation with Dr. Barrett Trotter and Dr. Paul Trotter today! We will discuss which option is best for you!
