Our practice happily provides our patients with braces from American Orthodontics. The company’s technically advanced, high quality products are made in the USA. Whether you opt for clear braces or metal braces, the combination of innovative brackets and wires use light, gentle forces to make the path to straight teeth and a healthy bite, fast, aesthetic and comfortable.

Metal Braces With Empower® 2 Self-Ligating Brackets and Mini Twin Brackets™

We offer two different metal brackets from American Orthodontics. The mini twin bracket is one of the smallest brackets on the market. Kids love them because they can customize their braces with colorful elastics. Our Empower self-ligating braces, on the other hand, don’t require elastics or metal ties at all. Instead, the low-profile, contoured, self-ligating brackets use clips to hold your archwires in place. This allows the teeth to move more comfortably and freely into position with less force and friction. The lack of elastics also results in decreased irritation, shorter appointments, less plaque and easier oral hygiene.

Clear Braces With Radiance Plus® Brackets

Radiance Plus clear braces provide the best possible esthetics, while delivering results that can’t be achieved with other cosmetic brackets. Each bracket is crafted from a single crystal of pure grown sapphire, which is one of the hardest materials in nature. These aren’t just the most translucent ceramic braces on the market, they’re also stain-resistant and incredibly durable. Our clear braces will blend in with your smile and give you fantastic results.
