Orthodontic Braces in Orlando, Florida
Braces
Braces are one of the most common treatments in orthodontics and are a highly effective method for treating various case types.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal orthodontic braces are a time-tested, highly effective system used to straighten teeth and correct misaligned bites. They consist of small stainless steel brackets bonded directly to each tooth, which are threaded together by a flexible archwire. Over time, this wire exerts gentle, continuous pressure, guiding the teeth into their ideal positions. Modern metal braces are sleeker, lighter, and more comfortable than their predecessors, and they remain the gold standard for treating complex orthodontic cases due to their precision and structural durability.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic orthodontic braces function exactly like traditional metal braces but offer a much more discreet, low-profile appearance. Instead of stainless steel, their brackets are made of a translucent or tooth-colored polycrystalline ceramic material that blends in seamlessly with your teeth. Often paired with frosted or white archwires, they provide an aesthetic alternative for adults and teens who want efficient, reliable teeth alignment without the highly visible “metal mouth” look. While they are slightly larger and more brittle than metal brackets, their ability to camouflage makes them a highly popular compromise between traditional braces and clear aligners.
