Types of Braces

Whether you’re an adult or a teen, we all want to look our best at all times. Changing the way your teeth are structured takes time and there are now ways to keep you looking your best during this period. Clear braces or ceramic braces are translucent. This new technology is available for most cases. The great benefit of these braces is that you won’t have to have that metallic look. In addition, clear braces are specifically designed so that they won’t stain or wear over time.

At Drs. Davalos and Jones, there is no fee difference whether you choose clear or metal brackets.  We want all our patients to have the opportunity to choose the type of treatment that is most beneficial to them.

Traditional braces have been around for many years. They are the standard among patients looking to straighten their smile. Today’s contemporary braces are made of exceptionally strong metals as they need to be able to stand the test of time while they are on your teeth. While contemporary braces are metallic colored, there are a number of bands and features that can be utilized to spruce them up. Whether you are seeking treatment for your child or for yourself, give us a call today so we can discuss in more detail about getting you that perfect smile!

What Are Lingual Braces?
Lingual Braces, are placed behind your teeth so no one will know that you are wearing braces unless you tell them. Dr. Jones uses American Orthodontics lingual brackets due to their affordability for patients and ease of use. Lingual braces can provide efficient, effective tooth movement and great aesthetics.

Didn’t wear your retainer and now your lower teeth have shifted?
Dr. Jones utilizes lingual brace treatment for correcting minor lower crowding of the anterior teeth which can take as little as 5 months to complete. Treatment fee includes all appointments and retainer at completion.

Are you a candidate for Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces have been used to treat men and women ranging from the age of 13 to 60+. Each individual case is different and it depends on the amount of crowding as well as other dental factors. Dr. Jones can tell you if lingual braces are the right treatment option for you during your initial consultation.

If you are not a lingual braces candidate, you may still be a candidate for Invisalign treatment or clear cosmetic braces which are also very esthetic.  Call us for a complimentary evaluation with Dr. Jones.
