Services
At Smiles Orthodontics we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to fit your individual needs and transform your smile, including: metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners.
Braces are the most common type of orthodontic appliance.
While there are many different types of braces, they all use a system of brackets and wires.
Brackets are small pieces that are bonded to teeth using a special glue, and a wire is threaded through the brackets.
The pressure exerted by these brackets and wires causes the teeth to move in the desired direction.
