Types of Braces for Orthodontic Treatment

At Gregoire Orthodontics, we offer different types of braces options to meet the unique needs and preferences of our patients. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, advances in orthodontic technology now provide more choices than ever before to straighten your teeth effectively and discreetly.

Dr. Christopher Gregoire will work with you to help determine the best treatment option based on your specific goals. No matter which option you choose, our goal is to ensure a comfortable and successful journey toward a confident, beautiful smile.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are still one of the most common and effective ways to straighten teeth. Made from high-grade metal alloys, these braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. For a fun touch, you can personalize your braces with colored elastics (rubber bands), allowing you to express your personality while achieving your best smile.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, often referred to as clear braces, offer a more discreet option for straightening teeth. These braces use tooth-colored brackets and wires, making them less noticeable compared to traditional metal braces. Ceramic braces are a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more subtle way to achieve a beautiful, straight smile.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign is a revolutionary treatment option that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and easy to wear, making them a popular choice for those seeking a discreet treatment option. Since they are removable, you can enjoy your favorite foods and drinks without restrictions. Brushing and flossing are also much easier, as the aligners can be taken out for cleaning.
