Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today’s braces are much smaller and more comfortable. Therefore they are much more attractive. Most of the patients like to dress up the braces with different color elastics that can be changed at each appointment. Multiple colors are available.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a translucent tooth colored (clear) material. They are most popular with the adult patients. They are difficult to see on the teeth unless you are very close to the patient. The only drawbacks to the bracket are that they are more fragile and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
Invisalign (No Braces)
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth into position. Dr. Rouch is an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist. He has treated many adults, as well as mature teens with this innovative system.
