Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. Here at Cohen Orthodontics, we use high-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires to steadily move teeth into their ideal position. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. They are also the most durable option and can be customized with colored elastics, making them a popular and reliable choice for children and teens.

Self-Ligating Braces

Self-ligating braces work like traditional braces but without colorful elastic ties. Instead, a specialized door holds the wire in place, reducing friction and pressure on the teeth. Because they don’t use elastics, they often require fewer adjustments and appointments. These braces are available in metal or ceramic options.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces

Ceramic braces are made from tooth-colored materials, making them far less noticeable than metal braces. They are popular among teens and adults who want a more discreet option. While they offer great aesthetics, they require excellent oral hygiene since the brackets are slightly larger and more delicate than metal braces.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually straighten teeth without wires or brackets. They are comfortable, convenient, and allow you to eat freely while making brushing and flossing easier. With no metal involved, clear aligners also minimize irritation to the cheeks and gums.
