Traditional Orthodontic Braces
Use elastic or steel ties to bind the wire tightly in the bracket.
Active Self-ligating Braces
Use an interactive clip that pushes the wire down in the bracket and becomes tighter with treatment.
Passive Self-Ligating Braces
Use a passive slide mechanism to gently hold the wire acting like a tube. These are the newest generation of braces.
High Performance Orthodontic Wires
The wires your orthodontist uses to move teeth are critical to the comfort and efficiency of treatment. Early in treatment, we utilize proprietary super-elastic wires with unique thermal properties, that react to the heat in your mouth, to apply light, consistent forces. Later in treatment, we select specialized titanium alloys instead of traditional steel wires, allowing us to further personalize your smile while maintaining gentle forces. Both the brackets and wires we use in treatment are state-of-the-art, and specifically calibrated for your individual smile. This allows us to deliver the smile you deserve quickly and comfortably.
Fewer Appointments
Our selection of the most advanced braces and orthodontic wires available also translates into fewer trips to the orthodontist during treatment. Studies have shown that, on average, the latest braces and wires will save you up to seven appointments compared traditional braces. That means less time out of school, out of work, and greater convenience for you regardless of your schedule or lifestyle.
Healthier Teeth/Cleaner Teeth
Elastomeric ties that are used with traditional braces are magnets for plaque and bacterial byproducts. They make cleaning around braces more challenging, and because they soak up bacterial wastes they can cause a phenomena known as “braces breath.” Although we still provide “colors” upon request for patients with good hygiene, the tools we use are carefully selected to promote the healthiest and cleanest environment possible for your teeth during treatment.
Your Custom Smile
In order to achieve our signature smiles, extensive planning and personalization of the braces and wires we prescribe is key. Each patient and each smile is unique, and by combining our in depth understanding of facial development with our artistic magic we are able to create beautiful smiles and healthy bites that will enhance your facial appearance.
Accelerating Braces
Advanced appliances in the hands of our skilled orthodontists make achieving your perfect smile faster and easier than you ever thought possible, but ultimately the speed of treatment is limited by your physiology. Fortunately, we are also leading the way with the use of technology that can enhance the biology of tooth movement and allow teeth to move twice as fast.
