Metal Braces

The most common and reliable option for all ages

Metal braces remain the gold standard for orthodontic care—and today’s versions are smaller, flatter, and more comfortable than ever before. Whether you're looking for braces for children, teen braces, or adult braces, this trusted option is affordable, effective, and fast.

What Braces are Made Of

• Brackets — Bonded to each tooth.
• Archwire — Guides teeth into place
• Elastic Ties — Elastic ties – Colorful rubber bands that hold it all together.

Customize your braces with your favorite color elastics at each visit!

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

A more discreet way to straighten teeth

Clear braces offer the same straightening power as metal braces but with brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. A favorite among older teens and adults, ceramic braces are a great option if you're concerned about aesthetics.

Advantages

• Less visible than metal braces
• Boosts confidence during treatment

Things to consider

• Slightly higher cost than metal braces
• Clear rubber ties may stain with food or drinks
• May take a little longer than metal braces

Damon™ Smile

High-tech, low-friction, & faster results

Damon Braces use a tie-less self-ligating system that reduces pressure on teeth, eliminates the need for elastics, and often leads to shorter treatment time.

Why Patients Love Damon Smile:

• No rubber bands = easier to clean
• Gentler forces = more comfort
• Fewer office visits
• Available in clear brackets for a discreet look

Damon Smile is ideal for teens and adults who want a smoother, more efficient path to a perfect smile—with less hassle.
