Types of Braces

Traditional Metal BracesTraditional Metal Braces

The traditional metal brace is the most common type of brace product used and is more comfortable than ever before. The product is made of high-grade stainless steel and works to straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. Metal braces are offered with the option of adding colored elastics for a unique smile!

 

 


Clear Aligners - Orthodontist in Tempe

Clear Aligners

Acting as a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays, clear aligners straighten your teeth as with braces. These aligners are invisible and removable, so you can eat and drink comfortably during your treatment period. This also ensures brushing and flossing are less of an issue. With no metal used in the aligners, you won’t suffer abrasions during treatment.

 

 


Gold Braces

Gold braces are another great alternative to traditional braces. Produced from stainless steel, they are uniquely coated in gold, which is often considered a preferred option for stylish aesthetics. Many find the price of gold braces surprisingly in-line with the cost of the traditional clear brace option.

 


The Orthodontic Treatment Experience

Before beginning treatment, it’s important to know how the process works. Orthodontic appliances are primarily made of either metal, ceramic, or plastic. In some cases, they are removable, and in others, they may be bonded to the teeth. Over time, the braces use a gentle force to place teeth in the ideal position within the mouth.

Dental treatment is evolving. No longer are metal bands placed across each tooth. You’ll now have the option of choosing either clear or metallic braces. The wiring of the braces is also less noticeable now. And the newest appliances are designed so that treatment time is consolidated and can be completed in comfort.

The Duration of Orthodontic Care

As with any other form of dental care, treatment time for orthodontic services varies with the patient and their needs. It can last from one to three years depending on the patient’s age, treatment method, and the severity of the case. The more involved you are with your treatment and the more closely you follow the dentist’s guidance, the greater your treatment results will be. For younger patients, early treatment can also be a decisive factor in reducing treatment time.
