At Moss Wall Orthodontics, we offer a range of braces options to suit your needs and preferences. Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, you now have more choices than ever before. Whether you’re looking for traditional metal braces or more discreet alternatives, we can help you find the right solution for achieving a beautifully aligned smile. Here’s a look at the different types of braces we offer:
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain a popular choice for orthodontic treatment. These braces are made from high-grade stainless steel and consist of metal brackets and archwires. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. You can also customize your smile with colored elastics (rubber bands) to add a touch of personality to your braces.
Key Benefits
- Effective and Reliable: Proven method for straightening teeth.
- Customizable: Option to add colored elastics for a personalized look.
- Durable: Made from sturdy stainless steel for effective treatment.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a more aesthetically pleasing option by blending in with the natural color of your teeth. Made from clear materials, they are less noticeable than metal braces and are particularly popular among older teenagers and adults. However, ceramic braces do require diligent oral hygiene as they are larger than metal braces and can be prone to staining and discoloration.
Key Benefits
- Discreet Appearance: Less visible than metal braces, ideal for those concerned with aesthetics.
- Comfortable: Made from smooth, clear materials that are gentle on the mouth.
- Enhanced Confidence: Subtle look can boost self-esteem during treatment.
Invisible Braces
Invisible braces, such as Invisalign, utilize a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for those who prefer a more discreet treatment option. They can be removed for eating and cleaning, making them a convenient choice for maintaining your regular oral hygiene routine.
Key Benefits
- Invisible Design: Clear aligners are hard to notice, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers.
- Removable: Aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, and brushing.
- Comfortable: No metal components to cause mouth irritation.
