Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Clear braces are made of ceramic and composite materials that 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 cosmetic concerns.
At Garden State Orthodontics, we only use Invisalign clear aligners. Invisalign comes in a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable plastic “trays” that straighten your teeth incrementally like braces. Not only are the aligners nearly invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
Gold braces are similar to traditional metal braces in many ways. They are made of stainless steel, but are uniquely coated in gold. The gold coating may be considered a more cosmetic option than traditional metal braces. And, the cost of gold braces is surprisingly comparable to most clear braces.
At our Springfield NJ Orthodontics Office, you can expect ethical and honest care. Dr. Hummert thoroughly explains all orthodontic treatment options using Invisalign, Braces, and other appliances so you can make an informed decision.
