With modern advancements in orthodontics, you now have more options than ever for straightening your smile. While traditional metal braces remain a popular choice, many teens and adults prefer the discreet appearance of clear braces or the convenience of Invisalign® aligners.
These treatment options offer flexibility in both aesthetics and comfort, allowing you to go about your daily activities with confidence. Dr. Brooks Barefoot, Dr. Kevin Theroux, and Dr. Elizabeth Donahue will help you choose the best option for your unique needs, guiding you toward the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces remain the most common type of orthodontic treatment today. They’re smaller, more comfortable, and made from high-grade metal alloys. With metal braces, you can also add colorful elastics (rubber bands) for a fun and personalized smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, or clear braces, use tooth-colored brackets and wires to discreetly straighten teeth and fix bite issues. A more subtle option compared to metal braces, they’re popular among those seeking a low-key way to improve their smile while maintaining aesthetics.
Invisalign® Aligners
Invisalign® aligners provide a clear, removable alternative to traditional braces. These virtually invisible aligners let you eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, making daily oral care easier. Plus, with no metal, you avoid mouth irritation during treatment.
