Braces are more than just a way straighten your teeth. They offer numerous benefits impacting both your oral health and self-esteem. The decision to get braces goes beyond aesthetic improvements, as it’s also about correcting dental issues that could lead to more serious health problems.

Your Smile, Your Choice!
1) Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and have been used for decades to straighten teeth. They consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires.
Benefits:
Effective for Complex Issues: Ideal for correcting more complicated dental problems
Cost-Effective: More affordable than other types of braces
Customization: You can add some colored bands to your braces to stand out
Drawbacks:
Visibility: More noticeable than other types of braces
Discomfort: Can irritate cheeks and gums, especially when in your first few months
Dietary Restrictions: Certain foods (toffee, caramel, etc) need to be avoided to prevent damage to the braces
2) Clear Braces
Clear braces function similarly to traditional braces but are less visible. For clear braces, we use clear or tooth-colored brackets and, in some cases, wires.
Benefits:
Aesthetic Appeal: Less noticeable than metal braces
Effectiveness: As effective as traditional braces for most ortho issues
Comfort: Often more comfortable than metal braces
Drawbacks:
Staining: The clear brackets can get stained, which requires more cleaning
Cost: Generally more expensive than traditional metal braces
Slightly Less Durable: Requires more careful handling to avoid damage.
3) Invisalign
Yes! Smiles offers Invisalign at all clinics. Read below for more.
Invisalign - Clear Aligners
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that straightens teeth with a series of "clear aligners". Each aligner fits snugly on a patient’s teeth and applies orthodontic forces to move the teeth. Once the teeth have moved, which can take 1 – 2 weeks, the next aligner adjusts the teeth to the desired position.Book Your Appointment
What Are The Benefits Of Invisalign?
The Clear Aligners technology that we use assists to straighten your teeth with a series of customized clear braces/transparent trays, which are practically invisible and comfortable.
Here are some of the benefits of this system:
Customized
Aligners or Clear Aligners that we use for our patients are made to order for precise fitting. The trays are made just for you and will fit perfectly on your teeth set. Here at Smiles Dental Group, we believe that there is no one size fits all Invisalign® invisible braces. Thus, they are custom-made for each patient.
Comfortable
The braces are made from soft transparent/clear plastic for the purpose and don’t hurt your soft tissues at all. They are easy to wear, clean, and remove. Plus there are no brackets to poke or metal wires that can tear your gums and mouth.
Invisible
Clear Aligners are practically invisible. So, you can smile confidently.
Is Invisalign Easy To Use?
Clear Aligners have a blue dot wear Indicator that shows an estimate of wear time. The dot will lighten to clear over 2 weeks if you wear them properly. Also, you can take them out to brush and floss your teeth normally. In addition, you can eat anything just as you do without braces.
