Types of Braces
At SmileCrew Orthodontics, we know that every smile is unique — and so should your treatment. With today’s advances in orthodontics, you have more comfortable, discreet, and effective options than ever before.
Find the Perfect Fit for Your Smile
Our expert team will help you choose the best braces that match your goals, lifestyle, and dental needs.
Traditional Metal Braces — Tried, Tested & Trusted
Traditional metal braces remain one of the most reliable treatments for correcting alignment and bite issues. Made from high-grade stainless steel, modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. Colored elastics let you add personality to your smile too!
Clear Ceramic Braces — Discreet Yet Powerful
Ceramic braces function like traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, making them less noticeable during treatment. They’re a great choice if aesthetics matter to you without compromising corrective power.
Self-Ligating Braces — Fewer Appointments, More Comfort
Self-ligating braces use smart clips instead of elastic bands to hold the wire in place. This means less friction, easier cleaning, and often faster treatment with fewer adjustments. They can be available in metal or clear options.
Lingual Braces — Truly Hidden Orthodontics
Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. Each bracket is custom-made to fit your smile, offering a discreet approach without sacrificing effectiveness.
