Traditional braces have been around for many years. They are the standard among patients looking to straighten their smile. Today's contemporary braces are made of exceptionally strong metals as they need to be able to stand the test of time while they are on your teeth. While contemporary braces are metallic colored, there are a number of bands and features that can be utilized to spruce them up. Give us a call today so we can discuss in more detail about getting you that perfect smile!

For most traditional cases Dr. Jones prefers using the 3M Unitek SmartClip™  bracketing system. This is the latest technology available where the brackets are "self-ligating" so there is no need for the little round bands that surround each bracket.  The brackets are smaller, more comfortable and can offer less time in the dental chair, fewer visits and possibly a shorter treatment time overall.
