Different Types of Braces

Older patients are aware that only a few short years ago, there weren’t many options when it came to which orthodontic appliance they could have. Traditional, metal braces were the only option for every patient. Today, however, many have the luxury of deciding between two or even three options. The following is information about a few popular orthodontic appliances from our Rocklin orthodontists.

Invisalign

Possible the most sought after choice, Invisalign comes with several benefits. The aligners are removable, allowing patients to eat any foods they like during treatment and clean the teeth easily. They are also nearly invisible, meaning they can enjoy discretion throughout the process. Invisalign offers Full, Express, and Teen treatments.

Damon braces

Braces come in several different forms in orthodontics today, one of which is Damon braces. These consist of the same components that in work much the same way as their traditional counterparts. The main difference is that the brackets and wires are made with tooth-colored or see through material, making them not as noticeable.

Incognito braces

Some patients qualify for braces that can be placed on the back surfaces of the teeth. This accomplishes the same tasks that they normally would, but are much less noticeable.
