Treatment : Types of Braces

This is a great time to wear braces! Gone are the days when a metal band was placed around each tooth. Orthodontic appliances can now be made of metal, ceramic or plastic. They may be brackets bonded to the teeth or removable aligners. Placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to a corrected position. Depending on your age, your needs, and your individual goals, let us help you decide which is your best option.

There was a time when there was only one choice in braces. Today, there's still just one choice for the latest innovations that provide maximum results in a minimum amount of time – Schroeder Orthodontics.

Traditional Metal

These are the most frequently worn braces. Made of the highest quality stainless steel, they are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than in years past. Our patients love choosing from a wide variety of colored ties to customize their smiles.

Smart Clip Brackets

These are the newest in self- ligating brackets. Unlike the older version of this type, they have no “door” that may come off, so needless repair appointments are rare. Although you can use colored ties with Smart Clips without reducing their effectiveness: they require no ties to hold the wire in place, making your appointment time shorter.

Clarity Brackets

Clarity braces are translucent brackets that give you a more natural look.  Although they work just like the standard metal braces, the clarity brackets let your smile shine through!
