Different Types of Braces: Which Option Is Right for You?
Orthodontic treatment has come a long way over the years. Today, patients have several options depending on their lifestyle, treatment goals, and personal preferences. At Nexus Orthodontics, we offer multiple types of braces designed to deliver effective results while fitting comfortably into your everyday life.
Here’s a quick look at the most common orthodontic options.
Traditional Stainless Steel Braces
Stainless steel braces are the classic silver braces most people recognize. They are strong, reliable, and effective for nearly every type of orthodontic case.
Because of their durability and precise control over tooth movement, stainless steel braces are often considered the gold standard in orthodontics.
Iconix Gold Braces
Iconix braces offer the same strength and performance as stainless steel braces, but with a unique champagne-gold finish.
Many patients choose this option because it blends naturally with tooth color while adding a stylish, modern look. Plus, the champagne-gold finish helps make your teeth look cleaner/whiter!
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces use tooth-colored or translucent brackets that blend in with your smile. This makes them a great option for patients who want braces that are less noticeable.
Despite their subtle appearance, ceramic braces remain just as reliable as stainless steel or Iconix braces for many orthodontic cases.
Clear Aligners / Invisalign
Clear aligners such as Invisalign use a series of removable trays to gradually move teeth into place. They are nearly invisible and offer the most flexibility during treatment.
However, because aligners are removable, wearing them as instructed is essential to keep treatment progressing on schedule.
