Thanks to today’s advances in orthodontic technology, Vaught Orthodontics can provide our patients with more options when it comes to wearing braces than ever before. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are very popular with teens and adults along with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases of misaligned teeth.
Please see below or read below to learn more about the types of braces we offer at our office. Dr. Vaught will help you determine which type of braces are right for you, based on your personal preferences and customized orthodontic treatment plan.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are smaller and more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel and titanium alloys, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Invisalign
Clear appliances, such as Invisalign, use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. No one can tell you are wearing aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. Discover more about Invisalign here.
