TYPES OF BRACES

Metal Braces

Holt Orthodontics offers the timeless effectiveness of metal braces for achieving your dream smile. Our modern stainless steel wires and brackets redefine the orthodontic experience. Discover the discreet, efficient, and comfortable journey to straighten teeth with metal braces that prove both effective and durable.

Pros of Metal Braces

  • Efficient and versatile for various orthodontic needs
  • No impact on speech
  • Fun color options for elastics
  • Fixed onto the teeth for continuous correction
  • Immediate start without waiting time
  • Most affordable option

Cons of Metal Braces

  • Cleaning can be challenging due to the presence of metal
  • Noticeable during eating and speaking
  • Requires good oral hygiene
  • May disrupt signals in imaging tests

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces provide a subtle yet effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Crafted from high-quality ceramic material, these braces use clear, tooth-colored brackets that seamlessly blend with your teeth. Experience orthodontic treatment with a touch of discretion, addressing misaligned teeth without compromising aesthetics.

Pros of Ceramic Braces

  • Less visible with clear or tooth-colored ceramic material
  • Effective for misaligned teeth and crooked bite
  • Available in a variety of colors
  • No interference with imaging tests

Cons of Ceramic Braces

  • Higher cost compared to metal braces
  • May cause gum sensitivity and require careful cleaning
  • Slightly less durable and may stain from eating and brushing habits

Self-Ligating Braces

Introducing the innovation of self-ligating braces, this type combines effectiveness with comfort. Available in both metal and clear materials, these braces utilize a specialized bracket that clips directly to the wire, streamlining the treatment process. Discover reduced discomfort, easier maintenance, and a discreet orthodontic journey with self-ligating braces.

Pros of Self-Ligating Braces

  • Effective and affordable for crooked and misaligned teeth
  • Less noticeable with fewer accessories
  • Easy maintenance with less food trapping
  • Smaller brackets for enhanced comfort
  • Fewer dentist visits for band changes

Cons of Self-Ligating Braces

  • May apply less pressure than metal braces, offering less precision
  • Cost can be higher

Lingual Braces

Pros of Lingual Braces

  • Virtually invisible from the front
  • Permanent placement for better results
  • Precise correction for severely misaligned teeth
  • Customizable for increased comfort

Cons of Lingual Braces

The Clear Braces Process at Holt Orthodontics

Your journey with clear braces is a partnership. We at Holt Orthodontics walk you through this life-changing process step by step, making sure that every stage is as easy and comfortable as possible.
Step 1: Complimentary Consultation

Addressing Concerns and Common Questions

We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
It's natural to wonder how braces might impact your appearance. At Holt Orthodontics, we want to assure you that modern clear braces are designed for discretion. While metal braces are still visible, they are smaller than ever. For maximum discretion, you can also opt for ceramic braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners.
We acknowledge that discomfort is a common concern. However, advancements in orthodontic technology, including self-ligating brackets, have significantly reduced the discomfort associated with braces. The smaller, more comfortable brackets used in our clear braces minimize the impact on your daily life, allowing you to adjust seamlessly to your orthodontic treatment.
One common misconception is that orthodontic treatment takes an excessively long time. The duration of clear braces treatment at Holt Orthodontics varies depending on individual needs but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months. During your complimentary consultation, our experienced orthodontists will provide a personalized estimate based on your unique situation. We prioritize efficiency without compromising the quality of your results.
Do clear braces become discolored over time? Some clear braces may discolor over time, depending on the quality of the bracket used, but not at Holt Orthodontics. We use high quality self-ligating brackets from American Orthodontics. Our higher quality brackets will stay clear without accumulating stains. However, you are likely to get stains on the elastics that connect the brackets, called power chains, depending on your eating habits. This isn’t usually a cause of concern, as these power chains are replaced each time you come in.
The expertise of Dr. Holt, Dr. Tyler, and Dr. Behpour extends beyond crafting customized treatment plans with braces Sacramento CA. It includes ensuring your comfort and addressing any apprehensions you may have.
