Types of Braces
At Impact Orthodontics, we understand that every smile is unique. That’s why we offer a variety of types of braces to meet the needs of kids, teens, and adults.
Whether you’re looking for traditional metal braces, discreet clear braces, or removable clear aligners, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Braces Offered by Impact Orthodontics
Metal Braces
The Tried-and-True Option
Metal braces are the most common and recognizable of all the types of braces. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before.
They are a reliable choice for correcting all types of teeth and bite issues, making them an excellent option for patients of all ages.
Why Choose Metal Braces?
Effective for Complex Cases
Ideal for fixing severe misalignments or bite problems.
Durable and Reliable
Built to last, even for active kids and teens.
Customizable
Add a fun pop of color with customizable bands at each appointment!
Clear Braces
The Discreet Alternative
Clear braces work just like metal braces but use brackets made of ceramic or tooth-colored material, making them less noticeable.
This option is perfect for older teens or adults who want the power of traditional braces with a more subtle appearance.
Why Choose Clear Braces?
Aesthetic Appeal
Brackets blend with the natural color of your teeth for a more discreet look.
Effective
Just as powerful as metal braces for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues.
Comfortable Design
Smooth brackets reduce irritation.
Clear Aligners (Removable Braces)
Flexibility Meets Convenience
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign and Angel Aligners, are an increasingly popular choice for patients seeking a nearly invisible way to straighten their teeth. These removable trays are custom-made to gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions.
Clear aligners are ideal for patients with all types of teeth and bite issues and those who can commit to wearing them 20–22 hours a day.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Virtually Invisible
Perfect for self-conscious teens or adults who want a discreet option.
Removable
No food restrictions—just take them out while eating or brushing.
Comfortable Fit
Smooth, custom trays eliminate the risk of irritation from wires or brackets.
Convenient Monitoring
Paired with our advanced Dental Monitoring technology for at-home progress tracking.
