Types of Braces

At Orthodontic Associates, we recognize that every smile is unique, which is why we provide a variety of braces options tailored to meet your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for traditional metal braces or more discreet alternatives, we have the perfect solution for your orthodontic journey.

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are renowned for their durability and effectiveness. Made from high-quality stainless steel, these braces consist of metal brackets attached to your teeth and connected by a wire that helps shift your teeth into the desired position. They are highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues and are built to withstand the daily rigors of eating and brushing. Plus, you can add colorful bands to express your personality and make your orthodontic treatment experience more enjoyable.

Clear Braces

For those who prefer a more discreet option, clear braces offer an excellent alternative. These braces utilize ceramic brackets that blend in with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Clear braces provide the same level of treatment effectiveness while allowing you to maintain a subtle appearance. They are designed with smooth surfaces for comfort, ensuring that they are gentle on your gums and cheeks.

Gold Braces

If you’re looking to make a statement while straightening your teeth, gold braces are a fantastic choice. Featuring gold-plated brackets, these braces offer a distinctive look that stands out. Gold braces provide the same functionality as traditional metal braces, delivering effective treatment with a unique style. You can even customize them with colored bands to match your personality or special events.

Braces for Kids

At Orthodontic Associates, we understand that a child’s smile is precious, and early orthodontic care can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth. Our approach to braces for kids focuses on creating a positive experience while ensuring effective treatment.

We typically recommend an initial consultation around age seven, as this is when we can evaluate your child’s bite and identify any potential orthodontic issues. Early intervention can help guide the growth of the jaw and teeth, making future treatment easier and more effective.

For younger patients, we offer a variety of braces options, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, and even space maintainers for those who may need to create room for adult teeth. Each option is designed to address specific orthodontic concerns while keeping your child’s comfort and self-esteem in mind.

We prioritize education and communication, helping children understand the importance of their treatment and encouraging good oral hygiene habits along the way. Our friendly staff is trained to work with young patients, ensuring they feel comfortable and supported throughout their orthodontic journey.

With our commitment to creating beautiful smiles and our passion for supporting the growth of healthy teeth, we strive to make orthodontic treatment a fun and rewarding experience for kids and their families. Contact us today to learn more about braces for kids and to request a consultation!
