Types of Braces at Bankhead Orthodontic Specialists
We offer two types of braces: traditional metal braces and clear braces, providing options to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Metal Braces
Metal braces have long set the standard for orthodontic treatment due to their proven effectiveness and durability. Composed of high-quality stainless steel, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever before. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to guide teeth into their optimal positions over time. Patients can customize their braces with colored bands for a fun, personalized touch, making them especially popular among children and teens. Metal braces are also highly durable and suitable for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor misalignments to more complex bite problems. Regular appointments help ensure the treatment stays on track, and our skilled orthodontists provide expert adjustments and support throughout the process. With decades of experience, our team ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their unique needs, making metal braces an effective and dependable choice.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer the same functionality as traditional metal braces but with a more discreet appearance. Made from ceramic materials that blend with the natural color of teeth, clear braces are ideal for teens and adults who seek an effective orthodontic solution without drawing attention to their treatment. They provide the same reliable results as metal braces but are designed for those who prioritize aesthetics.
Your Path to a Confident Smile
Starting your journey with us is simple and patient-focused. Your orthodontic experience begins with a complimentary consultation at our St. Louis office, where we assess your orthodontic needs and discuss your goals. During this visit, we take x-rays and digital scans to create a comprehensive view of your dental structure. Our orthodontists will explain your treatment options and develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs. Once a treatment plan is chosen, the next step is fitting the braces and starting the process of gradual tooth movement. Regular follow-up appointments allow our team to monitor progress, make necessary adjustments, and ensure your treatment stays on schedule. Throughout your orthodontic journey, our focus is on providing expert care and making your experience as comfortable and effective as possible.
