At Turret Orthodontics, we have a braces solution for everyone. Choose from traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, or invisible lingual braces.
Metal braces consist of metal brackets fitted to the front surface of your teeth with a thin metal archwire connecting them. Elastic bands then provide pressure to the archwire to help straighten your teeth.
This traditional tooth-straightening method works in almost every case. Best yet, metal braces today are smaller and less bulky than braces of the past.
Clear braces use the traditional method of brackets and archwires to move your teeth into position but are made from ceramic material that blends in with the natural colour of your teeth.
At Turret Orthodontics, we use three brands of ceramic braces: Radiance, which uses clear ceramic brackets; InVu and Clarity, which both use tooth coloured ceramic braces. All three brands provide discreet options for our braces patients.
Self-ligating braces don’t require elastic bands to move your teeth. They use only brackets and archwires and respond to the movement of your teeth. This means less friction - and shorter treatment times!
At Turret Orthodontics, we use two brands of self-ligating braces: Damon braces and Clarity SL braces.
Lingual braces, also known as ‘invisible braces’ or ‘hidden braces’ are fitted on the back side of your teeth - completely hidden from view. Lingual braces are extremely flat, so they are comfortable to wear and shouldn’t affect your speech.
At Turret Orthodontics, we use the Incognito™ brand of lingual braces. Lingual braces are a wonderful option for client-facing professionals and brides-to-be who don’t want their treatment on display.
