There are a few ways to achieve the smile you want using braces. Learn more about your options.
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more personalized and colorful smile.
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials that make them less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they do require more attention to oral hygiene because ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. For these reasons, ceramic braces are more frequently used on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Pitts21 uses the latest in braces technology by securing the bracket to the wire using a frictionless sliding door. The good news for you and your child is this leads to faster treatment times, exceptional comfort, and the most beautiful smiles
Braces have changed a lot in the last 15 years. If you wore braces, you likely wore older technology that used elastics to connect the wire to the bracket. The older elastic systems created uncomfortable friction after each appointment and had other challenges including: difficulty cleaning, tooth removal, and longer treatment times.
Designed for shorter treatment times. With the precision of Pitts21, your orthodontist will be able to deliver exceptional results sooner.
Fewer appointments to fit into your already busy schedule. The efficient Pitts21 system means that your child’s teeth will move quickly and predictably, so fewer appointments may be needed.
Pitts21 braces are designed with smooth rounded corners to create a more comfortable experience. Pitts21 also has a smaller profile, and a rubber band-less door, which supports better hygiene since plaque has less of an opportunity to accumulate.
Pitts21 braces are specially designed to move teeth faster and with less force, so there is almost no discomfort. Gone are the days of painful wire tightening. With our virtually frictionless system, your child's tooth movement will go unnoticed and the results will be apparent sooner.
Clear aligners are a series of nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces. These aligners are not only undetectable, they are also removable, allowing you to eat and drink whatever you want during treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and avoid the metal that can cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
