Silver Braces

Traditional silver braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, silver braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With silver braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile. 

Porcelain Braces

Porcelain braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than silver braces. For this reason, porcelain braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns.

While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts.

For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

My family loves this practice. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. My oldest has just started braces, and Jessica was so incredible while walking us through the whole process. The entire staff is amazing. Highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a dental and orthodontic practice that cares about you as a patient and a person.

10/10- Been going here for the 5+ years weve lived in the area! I go every six months for cleaning and recently started with invisalign on the orthodontics side. Everyone from the front office reception to the techs to the doctors are really kind and helpful. Special shout out to Haley (dental side) and Katie (ortho side) who were extra helpful in my most recent visits!

I absolutely loved my Invisalign consultation with Jessica! She made me super comfortable and answered all my questions. She was amazing at explaining my treatment plan and going over financial options! I recommend Acuity Orthodontics to anyone that is interested in Invisalign!
