Types of Braces
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than those from earlier generations. The appliance of choice for today’s teenager!
Ceramic (Clear) Braces
The subtle and aesthetic choice in orthodontic wear, clear braces offer our patients an attractive alternative to metal braces. These braces sport a translucent appearance without sacrificing the comfort and performance of metal braces. As a result, the natural beauty of your teeth shines through when you smile, and not the metal look of traditional braces.
Incognito™
One of the few practitioners of this art, Dr. Korne has been using lingual (behind the teeth braces) since 2002. Currently, he is a premier provider for Incognito by 3M Unitek, the only 100% customized orthodontic braces available today. Because no two people are alike, no two sets of these braces are alike.
Invisalign™
The alternative to wearing braces for minor tooth movement has been around for more than 10 years. Invisalign treatment consists of a series of aligners that you switch out about every three weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place.
