The Right Braces For You
Braces are fixed orthodontic appliances, which means they stay put throughout your treatment. They use steady, gentle pressure to straighten your teeth and align your bite. Getting started with your braces treatment is as easy as calling us at 705-671-6261 or emailing info@sudburyorthodontics.ca or book a free consultation.
The Components
All types of braces consist of brackets and wires. The brackets are placed on your teeth with a special adhesive and then a member of the Sudbury Orthodontics team runs an archwire through them. This wire guides your teeth into position. Since we use self-ligating braces, you don’t actually need elastics. However, a lot of our patients like to add them anyway to give their braces some fun color.
Before you start imagining unwieldy hunks of metal, you should know today’s braces are nothing like they used to be. At Sudbury Orthodontics, we use braces that are small, esthetic and efficient. Even the metal versions have seen big improvements. The reason braces remain so popular, is that they work really well on a wide variety of cases and for patients of all ages. Dr. D'Aloisio will help you choose the ones that are best suited to your smile.
Braces Procedure
What's On The Menu
Metal Braces
With smaller, more streamlined brackets and high-tech wires, self-ligating metal braces, which are made from stainless steel, are a great choice for kids, teens and adults. Some patients prefer metal braces and while elastics aren’t necessary, a lot of people like to add them for a bit of color.
Gold Braces
With smaller, more streamlined brackets and high-tech wires, self-ligating gold braces, which are made from stainless steel but are coated with gold. They are a great choice for kids, teens and adults. Some patients prefer gold braces due to cosmetic preferences.
Ceramic Braces
Our clear self-ligating braces are made from a translucent ceramic material that blends right into the teeth so they’re a lot less noticeable than their metal counterparts. Their cosmetic appeal makes them popular with teens and adults. We’ll even put them on your top teeth at no additional cost.
