Thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, Schwartz Orthodontics can provide our patients with more options when it comes to wearing braces than ever before. While traditional metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are very popular with teens and adults who are self-conscious about wearing braces, along with clear removable aligners, an easily removable alternative to straighten teeth. Dr. Robert Schwartz will help you determine which treatment option is right for you.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are still the most common type of braces used today. They are smaller and more comfortable than ever before and constructed of high-grade metal alloys. With metal braces, you also have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear material and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on teenage and adult patients who have aesthetic concerns.
Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners are an excellent choice for those who wish to avoid sharp wires and traditional braces. These aligners can be easily removed, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and beverages without restrictions. Additionally, maintaining oral hygiene with brushing and flossing becomes much simpler. Many adults favor this option for these reasons.
