The types of braces we use at Gray Orthodontics provide a wide range of options to meet your individual wants and needs. Read on to find out more about the types of treatment we offer.
Metal Braces
The most common type of braces, traditional metal braces are extremely comfortable and durable. Some patients enjoy having the option to add colorful elastics for a more unique look. We also offer ceramic braces for those who prefer a less visible treatment option. However, ceramic braces require more attention to oral hygiene, so they may not be the best type of braces for those who want a lowermaintenance treatment type.
Subtle Braces
For patients who want a practically invisible orthodontic appliance, we offer multiple types of clear braces as well!
- Empower® provide clear or metal self-ligating braces that eliminate the need for rubber bands. With the Empower® system, we can change your smile—fast!
- Invisalign® clear aligners are a great alternative to brackets and wires. You only need to remove them to eat, drink, or brush your teeth, which makes them our most low-maintenance option.
