Dental Braces Johns Creek GA

No two smiles are exactly alike. Because every patient is unique, Dr. Walton and the Walton Orthodontics team begin with a complimentary smile analysis to help you determine what type of dental braces are best for your situation. Options include:

• Metal braces – Traditional metal braces are often the best option for many of our patients. These braces feature high-grade stainless-steel brackets connected to the teeth with an adhesive and held in place with elastic bands. They do require occasional adjustments and arch wire replacements, but they’re proven to work effectively.
  
  

• Clear braces – Unlike clear aligners such as Invisalign, clear braces are attached to the teeth like any other kind of dental braces. They are made from translucent ceramic to blend with the natural color of the teeth, making them less noticeable.
  
  

• Damon braces – Also called self-ligating braces, Damon braces have a slide mechanism instead of elastic bands. This lets the arch wires move more easily and freely, makes the braces easier to maintain, and can shorten treatment times.
  
  

• Lingual braces – Hidden behind the teeth, lingual braces work exactly the same way as traditional braces but are far more difficult to notice. These braces are custom-made for each patient to ensure maximum comfort.
