Types of Braces at Coleman Orthodontics


We see a variety of patients everyday at Coleman Orthodontics, each with a different orthodontic treatment plan and different needs. We love what we do! We also love that we can offer different types of braces to fit each patients preference and lifestyle. 

 Traditional metal braces:
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. The 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 unique and colorful smile
Ceramic Braces: 
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. 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 as ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts.

 Invisalign: 
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign) use a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. And no one can tell you are wearing those aligners because they are invisible! Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are less of a hassle. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
At Coleman Orthodontics, we help our patients emBRACE the experience. This has always been our vision. We don’t just provide orthodontic treatment to patients, we provide patients with an entire experience that can truly be life changing!

Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment

Coleman Orthodontics Dr. Coleman can successfully correct most orthodontic problems regardless of the patient’s age. But that does not mean that the orthodontic treatment starting age does not matter. As with any decisions regarding health care, it is best to act when time is on your side. Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that encompasses tooth straightening and facial changes.   As a child grows, both the upper jaw and lower jaw will grow in three dimensions. This growth will decide the final positioning of the mid and lower face. The major advantage of a two-phase treatment is to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional, and esthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child’s life. Two-phase orthodontics starts with interceptive treatment. The goal of interceptive treatment is to take advantage of growth potential and to catch an orthodontic problem before it gets out of hand. Such treatment usually occurs betwee

Dentists and Orthodontists: What is the Difference?

Image
Coleman Orthodontics Dentists and Orthodontists are the same thing…right? While your dentist may offer orthodontic services, leading you to assume that he or she is an orthodontist, putting aligners or braces on teeth does not make your dentist an orthodontist. Dentistry is a broad medical specialty that deals with the teeth, gums, and jaws, while orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that focuses on correcting bites. All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are licensed orthodontists. Both dentists and orthodontists provide professional care to help their patients have good oral health. And both are dental school graduates. But dentists and orthodontists are very different when it comes to the alignment of your teeth. Dentists and orthodontists undertake the same training initially, but orthodontists complete further training after they graduate dental school to become qualified in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of orthodontic problems.
