Metal braces
The most common type of braces, metal braces, are made of high-grade stainless steel. The metal brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by a metal archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today’s metal braces in Humble are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than ever!
Clear braces
Clear braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the brackets are made of clear ceramic material, so they are less noticeable. Our clear braces in Humble, Texas, are most popular with adult and teen patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks to clear braces are that they are slightly more brittle than metal braces are, but can solve many of the same orthodontic issues.
Invisalign® clear aligners
Unlike traditional braces, this kind of orthodontic treatment doesn’t rely on a system of metal or ceramic brackets and wires. The Invisalign system is a series of clear plastic trays, called aligners, that can correct many of the same orthodontic issues as traditional braces can for adult and teen patients.
