Are you curious about Which Type of Braces are Best for You? Call Sullivant Dentistry to Schedule a Complimentary Consultation!
Thanks to today’s technology and innovation in orthodontics, patients now have many treatment options. While traditional metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular, as are invisible removable aligners (Suresmile®) that can be worn by patients who are self-conscious about treatment.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear braces are the most popular type of braces today for teens and adults. These braces are made of ceramic and other clear materials and are less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have aesthetic concerns.
Even though they tend to be more aesthetically pleasing, ceramic braces require more attention to oral hygiene as they are larger than metal braces. Another benefit of our ceramic braces is that they don’t discolor like most do with certain foods and smoking. SureSmile digital diagnosis can also be used with these braces.
Benefits of Clear Ceramic Braces at Sullivant Dentistry:
- Less visible on teeth
- Aesthetic appeal for older teens and adults
- Do not discolor like traditional braces
SureSmile
Clear appliances (such as SureSmile®) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And no one can tell because they’re invisible! Because aligners are also removable, you can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a challenge. Basically, every problem you’ve heard about with braces, SureSmile solves!
Benefits of SureSmile at Sullivant Dentistry:
- Invisible appearance
- Removable aligners for eating and oral care
