Our Braces Options: Metal and Clear
At Dougherty Orthodontics, we offer both traditional metal braces and modern clear braces, catering to diverse orthodontic needs and preferences.
The Evolution of Metal Braces
Metal braces have been the foundation of orthodontic treatment for decades, and their evolution is a testament to their effectiveness. Today's metal braces are more advanced than ever, offering greater comfort and efficiency. They are smaller, less noticeable, and designed to move teeth into the desired position more effectively. The durability of metal braces makes them an ideal choice for patients of all ages, especially those with complex orthodontic issues. At Dougherty Orthodontics, we utilize the latest advancements in metal braces technology, ensuring our patients receive the most efficient and comfortable treatment experience.
The Appeal of Clear Braces
Clear braces are an innovative alternative to traditional metal braces, offering an aesthetic solution without compromising on effectiveness. These braces are particularly popular among teenagers and adults who are conscious about the visibility of their orthodontic treatment. Made from ceramic or clear materials, clear braces blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them far less noticeable. They work in the same way as metal braces, using brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into place. However, the clear materials make them a subtler choice, providing an ideal balance between discretion and efficiency. At Dougherty Orthodontics, we recommend clear braces to patients who seek a less visible form of treatment but require the comprehensive correction that braces provide.
