Metal Braces in Chicago

Metal braces are a reliable option when precise and predictable correction is needed. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than older designs, making them a practical choice for many Chicago patients. Suitable for treating all types of orthodontic conditions, metal braces deliver consistent, predictable results.

Ceramic Braces in Chicago

Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets that blend in more naturally with your smile. Because of their translucent brackets, ceramic braces require consistent care and maintenance to prevent persistent stains. Many teens and adults in Chicago choose this option for a more discreet look during treatment.

Self-ligating braces use a specialized bracket system designed to reduce friction and improve efficiency. This option can be appealing for Chicago patients with busy schedules, as it may require fewer adjustments over time. Self-ligating braces are subject to availability, which we determine during your initial no-cost consultation.
