Types of Braces
Offering braces for children and adults in Bakersfield, CA (California)
Metal Braces
These are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, these braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding elastic ligatures ("donuts") in single or multi-colours to suit your fashion sense. Please see our Brace Painter link.
Ceramic Braces
Unlike traditional ceramic brackets that are opaque and colored to mimic a particular tooth shade, we use Inspire Ice brackets that are crystal clear and virtually disappear regardless of tooth shade. Inspire Ice is the only completely transparent bracket on the market. It is also the lowest profile ceramic bracket on the market and is manufactured with an innovative boron tumbling process that provides a smooth surface to greatly enhance patient comfort.
Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances
Invisalign®
No one can tell you are wearing Invisalign because it's invisible. The aligners are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
