Metal and Ceramic Braces
At Bright Healthy Smiles, we are dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic treatment tailored to each patient’s needs. We understand that preferences vary, which is why we offer both traditional metal brackets and clear ceramic brackets. Our traditional metal brackets are durable and effective, perfect for patients of all ages interested in straightening their teeth. On the other hand, our clear ceramic brackets offer a more discreet option, blending in with the natural color of teeth for a less noticeable appearance. Whether you prefer the classic strength of metal or the subtle aesthetics of ceramic, our expert orthodontists ensure a comfortable and successful braces journey for every patient, helping them achieve their brightest, healthiest smiles.
If you are considering braces, the first step would be a consultation with our orthodontist, Dr. Charlotte Guerrera. She will complete a thorough orthodontic examination – looking at crowding, spacing, bite issues, TMJ, airway, sleep habits, dental history and especially smile esthetics. She will discuss her findings, your personal treatment goals, and explain your orthodontic options.
If you choose to move forward with braces as your orthodontic appliance of choice, the next step is to take full Orthodontic Records – which involves pictures, radiographs, and a 3D iTero scan, which we will use to create your customized treatment plan. After that, you are ready to schedule a visit to have the braces placed and you will be on your way to a beautiful smile! You will see us approximately every 4-6 weeks for adjustments until we achieve our goals of a beautiful smile and an ideal bite.
