Our commitment is to provide you with the most advanced solutions for achieving a healthier, more beautiful smile.
Metal Braces
Durable and Effective
Traditional metal braces continue to be a popular choice because of their durability and effectiveness. Made from high-grade metal alloys, these braces are now smaller and more comfortable than ever before. You can even customize your smile with colored elastics (rubber bands) to add a fun and personal touch.
Ceramic Braces
A Subtle Approach
Ceramic braces are made from clear materials, which makes them less noticeable than metal braces. This choice is perfect for people who want a more subtle appearance, especially teenagers and adults who care about aesthetics. However, because of their size, ceramic braces need extra attention to oral hygiene. They can also be more likely to become discolored and damaged if not properly maintained.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Flexible and Comfortable
Invisalign provides a modern alternative with its clear, removable aligners. These aligners are designed to be comfortable and virtually invisible, offering an aesthetic advantage during treatment. Because they are removable, you can eat and drink without restrictions and maintain an easy oral hygiene routine. With no metal components, Invisalign minimizes the risk of mouth abrasions and discomfort.
Lingual Braces
Hidden Braces for a Perfect Smile
Looking for braces that are completely hidden? Consider lingual braces. These customized braces are placed behind your teeth, offering an effective solution for those seeking the benefits of traditional braces without a visible appearance. Using advanced technology, lingual braces are designed to fit your dental structure precisely, providing efficient tooth movement while maintaining excellent aesthetics.
