Types of Braces
At Pinnacle Peak Orthodontics, we offer a variety of braces options to suit your unique needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking for traditional, clear, or self-ligating braces, we ensure that each treatment plan is personalized to achieve the best possible results for your smile.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces consist of two main parts: the brackets and the archwire. The brackets are tiny metal pieces attached to each tooth, while the archwire is a thin, bendable wire used to connect the brackets. As your treatment progresses, Dr. Veeranki will adjust the archwire during regular appointments to gradually apply pressure to your teeth, moving them into their new positions.
One of the fun aspects of metal braces is the ability to customize your treatment! You can choose from a variety of colors for your elastic bands during your visits.
At Pinnacle Peak Orthodontics, we aim to make your orthodontic journey as comfortable and pleasant as possible while wearing traditional metal braces. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation if you live near Scottsdale, AZ, and are considering orthodontic treatment with braces.
Clear/Ceramic Braces
Clear braces are an alternative to traditional metal braces, using tooth-colored brackets and wires to straighten your teeth. These braces work just as effectively as the traditional metal version, but with a more subtle appearance. The brackets are clear or tooth-colored, blending in with your teeth, while the archwire is still visible. This makes clear braces a popular choice for those who prefer a less noticeable option.
Clear braces are growing in popularity, especially for individuals looking for aesthetic advantages without compromising on treatment effectiveness. Many of our patients in Scottsdale are choosing clear braces for their orthodontic care. Schedule a free consultation today to find out if clear braces are right for you or your child.
