Types of Braces

Types of Braces - Dr Toms Orthodontics

The art and science of orthodontics has been around since The Greeks, but the technologies we use are always evolving to make the patient experience better, treatment time faster and patient comfort greatly improved. Even if you or someone you know had braces twenty years ago, the tools and treatment approach we use today are very different.

Dr. Tom offers everything from braces that don’t require any tightening (self-ligating braces) to aesthetic braces that almost disappear against your teeth - to the Invisalign® System which allows us to improve your smile without braces.

When you have your Initial Complimentary Consultation Dr. Tom will discuss with you which option will work best for your particular situation.

Invisalign

Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign gives you straight teeth - without braces. Using a custom-made series of clear “aligners”, Invisalign allows you to improve your smile without anyone knowing you’re in treatment. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements Dr. Tom plans for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you have the confident smile you've always wanted.

Clear Braces

Clear Braces

Clear braces are made from translucent materials that make them much less visible then traditional metal brackets but they work the same. They don't show near as much and are smaller than traditional metal brackets which means more comfort for you during treatment.
