Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Dr. Kuper-Smith utilizes the most advanced low profile bracket technology with shape-memory, super-elastic wires. Unlike older braces and stiffer wires these advanced appliances provide patients with faster and more comfortable treatment that require less frequent adjustments.

The new generation metal braces are designed with patients' comfort in mind. Our brackets have smooth edges and a lower profile design so they do not interfere with the lips & cheeks. In addition, these braces are easier to brush and floss with so patients can maintain a cleaner look and healthier smile throughout their treatment.

Ceramic Braces

Clear braces are made of ceramic and are less visible on your teeth than metal braces. A common concerned about clear braces is that they stain over time. Dr. Kuper-Smith use the highest quality ceramic braces that ensure that your brackets remain clear and your teeth look clean throughout treatment. There is also no differences in treatment with ceramic braces vs. metal braces. They move teeth the same way and take the same amount of time.
