Choosing braces is not just about straight teeth. It is about comfort, confidence, and finding an option that fits your life. At Baseline Orthodontics & Oral Surgery, we offer proven orthodontic solutions for kids, teens, and adults. During your consultation, we help you understand each option so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Metal braces are made of high-quality, durable stainless steel. They are the most common type of braces. The brackets, which are bonded to the front of each tooth, are connected by the archwire, which helps guide the teeth into the correct positions. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.
Why patients choose metal braces
Highly effective for mild to complex orthodontic cases.
Durable and reliable with predictable results.
Modern designs that are more comfortable than older styles.
A cost-effective option for long-term treatment.
Metal braces are especially popular for younger patients, but many adults choose them as well because they get the job done efficiently.
Ceramic braces move teeth just as efficiently as metal braces, except the brackets are clear, so they are less noticeable. They are most popular with adult patients due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
Ceramic braces may be a good fit if you
Want a less visible orthodontic option.
Are committed to good brushing and flossing habits.
Prefer a balance between aesthetics and performance
Many adult patients appreciate ceramic braces for their subtle appearance without sacrificing results.
