Our office uses innovative SPEED braces. These are like traditional metal braces, but they have a special "super-elastic" metal clip that is designed to deliver precise, yet gentle and continuous forces to your teeth. Unlike the elastics that are required to hold wires into traditional braces, the special metal clips do not fatigue over time. Even better, these braces are typically about 1/3 smaller than traditional braces which results in less food trapping and easier hygiene. The end result is a precise, comfortable, and efficient treatment!
