Types of Braces

Every smile is different. Explore modern orthodontic treatment options designed to fit your needs, lifestyle, and smile goals.

Find the Right Treatment for Your Smile

Orthodontic treatment has come a long way. Today's braces are more comfortable and streamlined than ever, with options ranging from traditional metal braces to more discreet alternatives.

Dr. Angela Scheele will evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss your preferences, and recommend the treatment option best suited to your individual needs.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to straighten teeth and correct bite concerns. Today's brackets are smaller and more comfortable than those of the past, making them an excellent option for children, teens, and adults.

Patients can also personalize their braces with different colored elastics for a little extra personality.

Clear Ceramic Braces

Clear braces work similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-colored or translucent brackets that blend more naturally with your smile.

They're a popular choice for teens and adults who want the effectiveness of braces with a more discreet appearance.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of removable, virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten your teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient option for many teens and adults.
