For decades, orthodontic braces have been the foundation of orthodontic treatment, helping both children and adults achieve straighter teeth and healthier bites.

With today’s advances in technology, braces are no longer a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Patients now have access to different types of braces, each designed to meet specific needs, preferences, and lifestyles.

How Braces Work and Why They Matter for Dental Health

Braces work by applying gentle, controlled forces to gradually shift teeth into better alignment. This process not only corrects crooked teeth and spaces but also improves the way your bite functions. The outcome goes beyond cosmetics—properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, less prone to decay, and help prevent issues such as jaw strain or gum disease.

Choosing braces is therefore an investment in both confidence and overall dental health. At our clinic, we provide comprehensive orthodontic care with a focus on comfort, precision, and long-lasting results.

Our experienced orthodontists understand that each patient’s journey is unique, and we are committed to recommending the most suitable type of braces for your specific needs.

Types of Braces Available

Traditional Metal Braces

One of the most common and reliable choices is the traditional metal braces. Although many people think of these as the bulky appliances of the past, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and far more efficient. They remain one of the best options for complex cases because of their strength and effectiveness.

Ceramic Braces

For patients who prefer a more subtle approach, ceramic braces provide the same reliable results but use tooth-colored materials that blend in with your smile. This makes them particularly popular among adults and older teens who want straighter teeth without drawing too much attention during treatment.

Damon System

Another innovation in orthodontics is the Damon system. Unlike conventional braces, Damon braces use a self-ligating mechanism that reduces friction and eliminates the need for elastic ties. Many patients find this option more comfortable, and in some cases, it can shorten the treatment period and reduce the number of adjustment appointments.

Lingual Braces

For those seeking the most discreet treatment possible, lingual braces are placed on the inside surfaces of the teeth. This makes them virtually invisible to others, while still delivering the same powerful results as traditional braces. Because they are customized to fit the back of each tooth, lingual braces require a high level of expertise to place and manage—something our orthodontists are well-trained to handle.

What Affects the Cost of Braces?

When considering orthodontic treatment, many patients naturally ask about the cost of braces. The truth is, the price can vary significantly depending on the type of braces chosen, the complexity of the case, and how long the treatment is expected to last.

Factors such as age, overall dental health, and the level of personalization required can all affect the cost. At our clinic, we believe that financial concerns should never stand in the way of a healthy smile, which is why we offer flexible plans designed to make treatment accessible to everyone.
