We'd call them traditional braces, but that wouldn't really be accurate. Forget the basic, uncomfortable braces of the past. Instead, we're proud to offer Pitts 21® PRO ceramic and stainless steel braces, LightForce personalized ceramic brackets and the InBrace® lingual system.
In case you're unfamiliar with all these new braces options, allow us enlighten you.
Pitts 21® PRO
This revolutionary self-litigating bracket system not only offers consistent and easily controlled results, you can expect increased comfort during treatment, thanks to the rounded bracket edges, and reduced treatment times based on precise 3D technology and control of torque, tip and rotation. That might sound like gibberish to you, but it's totally speaking our language. You could say we're fluent in Pitts.
LightForce
As self-proclaimed science nerds, we couldn't be more excited to introduce you to the world's only fully customized, 3D printed bracket system. The personalized digital technology is truly something else. Think custom-built, max comfort, less breakage, shorter treatment times and accurate, predictable results. Sounds pretty amazing, right? What if we told you that each bracket is actually designed for each individual tooth? There's nothing cookie cutter about these braces. They're light years ahead of their old metal ancestors.
InBrace®
We live in the era of smartphones, smartwatches, smart TVs… you name it, everything's smart these days. So why not Smartwire? InBrace® says, “exactly.” So they created a revolutionary lingual braces system that relies on a wire placed behind the teeth, fully hidden yet fully effective. No visible wires, no aligners, no tightening, no tray changes and no one will know. It's braces without the braces.
If brackets and wires aren't your thing, let us introduce you to Invisalign®. These clear plastic aligners for all ages are nearly invisible (hence the name), comfortable, removable and responsible for many a gorgeous and perfectly aligned smile.
We get that the braces look isn't for everyone, but everyone wants a straight, stunning smile… and if they don't, send them our way and we'll convince them. So for those who want the movement without the metal or ceramic, Invisalign® gets the job done. Plus, it does it discreetly with custom-designed clear plastic aligners created using 3D computer imaging that are swapped out every two weeks. This innovative option customizes the position of each tooth with incredible precision, while making it extra easy to eat, floss and keep up the good oral hygiene. Need we say more?
