Metal traditional braces
Metal braces (stainless steel) are the most popular type of braces used throughout the country. If you choose metal braces for your treatment plan, we utilize the most comfortable, efficient, and technologically advanced metal braces available. Many patients enjoy having different colors placed on their braces as a means of personal expression and fun. Because it’s so simple to change the colors, feel free to swap them at every visit.
Ceramic braces
The ceramic braces are much less visible than other kinds of braces. (The ceramic braces do not stain, unlike plastic or composite brackets, but the clear elastic ties that are used to attach the wire to the braces do stain (from smoking, drinking coffee, tea or other dark liquids, tomato sauce, etc.). However, you can always call and come in if the ties stain to have me change them).

Metal self – ligating braces
Self-ligating braces offer several benefits for patients. They use a self-ligation technique using lighter wires and lower friction brackets to move teeth, while resulting in faster treatment times due to its slide mechanism, strong, mechanical base bonding and solid walls structured to control tooth movement with speed and efficiency. In addition to greater comfort, self-ligating braces make it easier to maintain good hygiene because they are easier to keep clean. This contributes to greater health, happiness and physical attractiveness for the duration of patient treatment.

Damon metal and ceramic braces
The Damon System is not just about revolutionary braces and wires, it’s a whole new way of treating patients. Traditional treatment often requires removal of healthy teeth and/or the use of palatal expanders to make space. This approach is often uncomfortable, takes longer, and can leave a narrower arch and a flat profile. Damon smiles are full, natural 10-tooth smiles achieved with light biologically-sensible forces, and are specifically designed to improve the overall facial result of each patient. Certified Damon System doctors combine three key components, which when used together, deliver faster treatment, fewer appointments, greater comfort, and consistent high-quality results.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces, also referred to as iBraces, are orthodontic devices used to straighten teeth like traditional braces, but unlike traditional braces, lingual braces are fixed to the back of teeth instead of to the front. This is why lingual braces are often referred to as invisible braces. They are extremely flat, comfortable and thanks to its uncomplicated technique ideally suited for patients that want to straighten their teeth in front of others without them knowing
Clear Aligner Systems – DAligners
The system consists of a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. The DAligners system sets a new benchmark and will convince you when it comes to move teeth rapidly and effectively step by step with little force by means of flexible and nearly invisible aligners. Compared to traditional applications DAligners shortens and simplifies the time of treatment considerably. Moreover the DAligners are even more transparent, lighter, extremely painless and removable at any time. Best wearing comfort and highest aesthetics paired with full transparency of the aligners will bring you first visible results within only fifteen days.

Mini implants – TAD’s
The mini implants are tiny implants with diameter of 1.2 – 2.00 mm that are placed (screwed) into the bone through the gums in order to give additional control to the treatment. They are made of Titanium alloy, hence are biocompatible. They are very easy to be placed, yet so useful to the orthodontist. They give additional anchorage during the orthodontic treatment and thus enable greater results. The application of these temporary anchorage devices (TADs) is painless and the procedure is done under local anesthesia.
