Speed Braces
Beyond their traditional color, the only thing traditional about the self lingating Speed braces is that you can see them. These brackets are made of super strong metal alloys derived from the space program. Their strength allows them to be the smallest of all braces and therefore the most comfortable and easiest to keep clean. Their super flexable door makes them ultra slippery so teeth move faster than they ever have before. Today's braces, in combination with other high tech materials mean fewer office visits to complete treatment.
Clear Braces
Ceramic braces utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about aesthetic appearances. Ceramic brackets are translucent, so they blend in with your natural tooth color. This means that unlike traditional stainless steel braces, with ceramic braces your smile will not look 'metallic.' In addition, ceramic brackets are designed so that they won't stain or discolor over long periods of time. Dr. Burns can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic braces.
Damon Braces
Designed to provide the least amount of friction and therefore the lightest forces, the Damon system works best without the use of colored ties. The elastic ties grab and hold the wire going through the brackets creating friction, slowing tooth movement. As with other self ligating systems treatment times may be a little shorter and your appointments a little faster.
