Types of Braces

 

Ovation Metal Braces
This four-dimensional bracket system combines unequaled precision for more efficient treatment. The design of the brace permits more accurate positioning. OVATION's wire slot is fabricated using computer controls to ensure exact dimensions. These traditional metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel. They are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than the older designs. The edges are also more rounded for reduced abrasion.

In-Ovation-R (Metal Braces)
In-Ovation-R is the orthodontic market's premier self-locking (self-ligating technology) bracket with the INTERACTIVE clip to hold the wire in the brace. Its revolutionary low profile design and self-ligating technology allow the brace to slide along the wire with reduced friction and therefore, in many cases, actually reduces treatment time up to 6 months. It also means you don’t have to come in for adjustments as frequently.

In-Ovation C
In-Ovation “C” is a self-ligating bracket, which allows more control during treatment than more traditional brackets. The difference is that they are smaller in size but also stronger and more efficient because they have a built-in clip that holds the archwires in place without the need for wire or elastic ties. This allows for greater overall attractiveness, increased comfort and a more reliable product.

In-Ovation C braces provide patients with a beautiful, healthy smile in less time than traditional braces. Their special design also provides for greater comfort and fewer appointments. Plus their ceramic translucency helps to camouflage the appearance of braces allowing you to maintain the natural beauty of your smile.

Invisalign-The clear alternative to metal braces.
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult and older teenagers with certain orthodontic problems. The most important advantage of this system is obviously near invisibility of the treatment. You can also keep your teeth much cleaner as the trays can be removed at will. Of course, this also means much more discipline on the part of our patients, as they have to make sure the trays are worn correctly for any tooth movement. They are comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush and floss. Make sure to ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.

Invisalign Teen
Now teens don’t have to worry about embarrassing metal braces in their yearbook photos or Facebook profiles – introducing Invisalign® Teen! Invisalign Teen is the clear way to straighten teeth without metal braces, using aligners. Aligners are removable and virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing; and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth; and there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

We went to leading orthodontists, parents and teens themselves to custom-design an Invisalign system just right for the dental needs of teenagers. With blue-to-clear color-changing aligners to show how long each aligner has been worn, six free replacement aligners in case some are lost or broken, and other changes designed to accommodate growing mouths, Invisalign Teen is the perfect teeth-straightening system for today’s teens’ busy lifestyles!
