Types of Braces

Advancements in orthodontic technology have allowed Parker Wentz Orthodontics to offer different types of braces options to meet the unique needs and preferences of our patients. While traditional metal braces remain a popular choice, we also provide clear braces and clear aligners for those who prefer a more discreet treatment option.

Each treatment is designed to deliver effective results tailored to your specific needs, whether your focus is on aesthetics or functionality. Dr. Parker Wentz will guide you in determining the best treatment for your smile and will support you through each step of the process, ensuring a comfortable and successful experience.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are one of the most common and effective orthodontic treatments. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and made from high-quality metal alloys. You can also add colored elastics (rubber bands) to customize your look while straightening your teeth.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces, or clear braces, use tooth-colored brackets and wires that blend with your natural teeth. This subtle option is ideal for patients seeking a less noticeable way to straighten their teeth and correct bite issues. They are perfect for those wanting a more discreet treatment.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually move them into place. Their removability allows you to enjoy food freely and maintain easier oral hygiene.

WildSmiles Braces

WildSmiles braces let our patients add personality to their orthodontic treatment with fun shapes brackets such as stars, hearts, and Mickey Mouse. These creative brackets make treatment more exciting and help promote better brushing habits for healthier, happier smiles.
