Traditional Metal Braces
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.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces. However, self-ligating braces do not require the use of elastics, meaning fewer appointments and less friction being placed on the tooth. Self-ligating braces come with traditional metal, ceramic, or clear brackets. They are the same size as metal braces, but use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. The clip helps reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth, and requires fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore 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. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

I always have an amazing experience at Brickman Orthodontics. The staff there is truly amazing. I always get Stephanie as my assistant and she goes above and beyond to make sure I’m happy and satisfied with the progression that my teeth have made from their Invisalign products. She takes the time to show me how to properly care for my Invisalign trays and my teeth in general. Not only does she go above and beyond she always makes my experience exciting and comfortable. I always leave laughing which makes for a great experience every time I visit. I could not be happier with the products but also the amazing service I receive every single time from Dr. Brickman and his staff.
