Orthodontics | Types of Braces
Brace Yourself For A Beautiful New Smile
Thanks to today's technology, patients now have more options than ever when it comes to wearing braces. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular along with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases to moderate cases.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type of braces. Our metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel. Our metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and aesthetic than older generations appliances.
Clear Braces
Our Clear braces are made of translucent sapphire crystal. They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to clear brackets is that they are more fragile and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic appointments.
Invisalign® (Clear Aligners)
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system made of clear plastic custom designed to fit your teeth. The aligners are created by a computer simulation program that gradually moves your teeth. Sarraf Orthodontics is a Certified Invisalign® Center, therefore you can be confident that you are getting the best quality clear aligner therapy available.
