Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Traditional metal braces consist of stainless steel brackets bonded to the front of each tooth, connected by archwires that apply gentle pressure to guide teeth into proper alignment. While visible, modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than in the past. Contact us today to start your journey toward a straighter smile!

Clear braces, also known as ceramic braces, blend in with the natural color of teeth, making them less noticeable. They function similarly to metal braces but offer a more aesthetic alternative, especially for patients who prefer a less conspicuous treatment option. Both types of braces require periodic adjustments by an orthodontist to achieve desired results effectively. Clear braces are popular for patients seeking a more subtle appearance without sacrificing the effectiveness of traditional braces in correcting dental alignment issues.

WildSmiles braces are a fun and unique option in orthodontic treatment, offering a variety of shapes like stars, hearts, and footballs for brackets. These specially designed brackets not only provide effective teeth straightening but also allow patients to express their personality through their smile. WildSmiles braces are made from high-quality materials and function like traditional braces, using archwires to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions. They are suitable for both teens and children who want a more creative approach to orthodontic care while still achieving excellent results. At Steel City Orthodontics, we offer WildSmiles braces as an option to make your orthodontic journey more enjoyable and personalized. For more information about WildSmiles, contact our office today!

Invisalign® clear aligners are a popular choice for orthodontic treatment due to their virtually invisible appearance and convenience. Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these aligners are custom-fit to your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. They are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss normally without restrictions on food or difficulty cleaning around brackets and wires. Invisalign® aligners are changed approximately every 1-2 weeks to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position as planned by your orthodontist. This treatment option is particularly favored by patients seeking a discreet way to straighten their teeth without the visibility and maintenance associated with traditional braces. Contact us today to begin your journey toward a brighter, whiter smile!
