Ceramic or “tooth-colored” braces are made of composite, clear materials. They are strong and generally do not stain. Older teenagers and adults like ceramic braces because they are less noticeable than metal braces. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene since they are larger and more brittle than metal. For these reasons, ceramic braces are used more on upper front teeth than lower. They are usually more expensive than metal but for many, the cosmetic advantages outweigh the costs.

The Inman Aligner has achieved remarkable results in a much shorter period of time than other more conventional removable dental appliances. With an average 12-week turnaround time to successfully straighten front teeth, the Inman Aligner is also minimally invasive, utilizing coiled springs to apply pressure on the teeth and directing them into the desired position. Last, but not least, the Inman Aligner is also more cost-effective than other invisible braces or veneers. However, not everyone is a candidate for this type of appliance.

Invisalign is an innovative method of straightening teeth through almost unnoticeable, removable braces or aligners that are custom-made for perfection. They are invisible when you’re wearing them and removable when you need them to be. Invisalign has the flexibility and convenience to fit just about every aspect of your life. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete. By the end of the process, you’ll have achieved that confident smile that you have always wanted!
