Types of Braces

Traditional, Low-Profile | Self-Ligating | Aesthetic Translucent | Aesthetic Self-Ligating

Traditional, Low-Profile

  • Comfortable
  • Requires elastic (colored or clear/tooth colored) ligatures

Self-Ligating

  • Reduced friction over conventional elastic ligature cases.
  • Offer the most benefit for very crowded or spaced cases Quicker appointment times and less appointments means less time away from school or work!
  • Can still get colored elastic ligatures on the "Social 6" (the 6 front upper teeth that people can see when you smile)
  • Cleaner because elastic ligatures can harbor cavity- and bad breath-causing plaque bacteria in their porosities

Aesthetic, Translucent

  • Clarity bracket
  • Less metal showing in your smile while in braces
  • We offer aesthetic, tooth-colored ties that do not stain like other aesthetic ties when you drink coffee or tea or eat curry-laden foods!
  • Great mechanical traits when compared to other aesthetic brackets because 3M Unitek has patented their metal slot…so the wire sees no frictional difference from regular all-metal brackets.
  • Rounded edges, not sharp like other aesthetic brackets on the market
  • Ceramic, so a little more brittle and fracture-prone than metal braces
  • Dr. Campbell only puts them on top teeth (while placing metal on the bottom) because if the ceramic braces are on the bottom teeth, they tend to grind away tooth structure from the backs of the top teeth…not good.
