Types of Braces

Dunn Orthodontics is proud to offer many types of braces to fit your specific needs.

Traditional Metal
These are what most people envision when they think of braces.  There have been many technological advancements to decrease the size and thickness of traditional braces. In addition, we can make it fun by adding colors that can be changed at every appointment.  You can cheer for your school team one month and get colors to coordinate with every holiday!

 

Clear Braces
For those who don’t want the look of traditional braces, we offer ceramic (clear) braces.  They are just as effective as a traditional braces, but are much less noticeable.  Many celebrities, including Tom Cruise, have chosen clear braces for their treatment.

 

Self-Ligating Brackets (Damon System, In-Ovation, Smart Clip, Time2)

Unlike traditional braces, self-ligating braces have a built-in mechanism to hold the wire in place.  Since elastic ties are not used, you cannot choose different colors with these brackets. 

If you are interested in self-ligating brackets and feel they are right for you, we do have them available.  Click here if you would like to read about a clinical trial comparing self-ligating brackets with traditional brackets.
