Although orthodontics techniques have changed little over the years, braces have evolved to appeal to more teens. Here are three types of braces that are offered by an orthodontics clinic in St. Augustine.
Traditional Braces with Style
Traditional braces are comprised of metal bands, brackets and wires. Your teenager can add some style with colored wires and elastics to show off one or more favorite colors. Teenagers love to show their school spirit with the color of their elastics.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® has changed how many people perceive orthodontics in St. Augustine. This is a system of clear aligners that can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing to eliminate the food restrictions that come with traditional braces. The aligners are barely visible when worn by your teen.
Clarity™ Braces
Clarity™ braces use the same design as traditional braces, except that the braces are made from ceramic and other transparent materials. The braces are less obvious than traditional braces. In most cases, the metal brackets can be replaced with ceramic brackets. Wires may still need to be made of metal depending on the treatment plan. Ceramic brackets are also more comfortable than metal brackets because there are few, if any, sharp edges.
