Metal Braces: Metal brackets are the most common type of braces. Stainless Steel brackets are bonded to the teeth then a wire is put through to connect the brackets and help steer the teeth. At every adjustment Dr. Homayoun or Dr. Neza will either tighten the wire you have in place or put in a new wire. Clear (tooth colored) Braces: Clear or ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material and are great for our aesthetically oriented patients. Clear braces are usually more fragile than metal braces and the elastic ties can discolor in between visits. Invisalign: Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces. It straightens your teeth without bands, brackets or wires. Instead a series of clear, removable aligners are generated through a 3-D computer imaging technology. These aligner are custom made to fit your unique treatment needs. |
