In our North Babylon office, we offer both metal braces and ceramic braces as treatment options
Metal braces remain the most common orthodontic treatment, using stainless steel brackets, arch wires, and elastic ties or bands to gently shift teeth according to your orthodontist’s plan.
What are Metal Braces?
When we think about orthodontic treatment, the majority of us have metal braces in mind since they are the most common form of braces. They have undergone significant development over the years, and as a result, they are today much more comfortable, lighter, and smaller than in the past. In addition, you have the option of customizing your unique brackets and with colored bands.
Metal braces are a great choice for children, teens, and adults aiming for a beautiful, healthy smile in the shortest time frame. During your treatment, you’ll visit us every 6 to 8 weeks for a check-in and we will make any necessary adjustments to your braces.

What are Ceramic Braces?
Many people worry about wearing braces because they dislike the idea of having a flashy silver smile. If you are among those who don’t like the look of traditional metal braces, clear braces could be the right solution for you.
Made from transparent or tooth-colored materials, ceramic braces blend naturally with the shade of your teeth, making them both discreet and inconspicuous. This makes them an excellent option for those who prefer a more subtle approach to correcting misalignments.
Ceramic Braces vs. Metal Braces
Ceramic clear braces work similarly to traditional metal braces, except ceramic braces have clear brackets and wires. These features help the braces blend in with the natural color of the teeth for a less noticeable appearance.
