TRADITIONAL METAL BRACES
Traditional metal braces have been a staple of orthodontic treatment for decades. They consist of high-quality stainless steel brackets that are affixed to the front surface of the teeth. These brackets are connected by a thin wire, which exerts gentle pressure on the teeth moving them gradually over time.
During periodic adjustments, Dr. Nicozisis tightens and changes the wires, applying additional pressure to continue the movement process. This controlled pressure allows for precise and predictable tooth realignment, ultimately leading to a more harmonious smile. Metal braces are perfect for:
Advantages
- Efficiency and Versatility: Traditional metal braces are highly efficient at correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and misalignment.
- Durability: Made from sturdy stainless steel, metal braces are durable and can withstand the rigors of orthodontic treatment.
- Customization: Patients can personalize their braces with colored elastics, adding a fun and unique touch to their treatment.
- Affordability: Traditional metal braces are often more budget-friendly compared to alternative orthodontic treatments.
Ceramic Braces
Similar to traditional metal braces, ceramic braces utilize brackets and wires to gently move teeth into their desired positions over time. However, the brackets of ceramic braces are made from translucent or tooth-colored ceramic material, making them less conspicuous against the teeth. Ceramic braces provide the same level of precision and effectiveness as metal braces.
Advantages
- Aesthetic Appeal: For patients concerned about the appearance of their braces, ceramic braces offer a more aesthetically pleasing option that still delivers excellent results.
- Effective Treatment: Despite their discreet appearance, ceramic braces offer the same level of effectiveness as metal braces, providing precise and predictable tooth movement.
- Customization Options: Like traditional metal braces, ceramic braces can be personalized with colored elastics, allowing patients to add a touch of personality to their treatment.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign®)
Clear aligners are custom-made trays designed to fit snugly over the teeth, exerting gentle pressure to gradually shift them into their desired positions. Patients wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing for easy eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Advantages
- Invisibility: Constructed from transparent material, they remain virtually undetectable when worn.
- Removability: Patients have the flexibility to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain regular oral hygiene practices without restrictions.
- Efficiency: Treatment plans are carefully tailored to each patient’s unique needs, allowing for predictable and timely progress towards a straighter smile.
- Comfort: Made from smooth, comfortable plastic, clear aligners minimize the risk of irritation or discomfort commonly associated with traditional braces.

They consist of brackets that are individually designed using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, based on detailed scans of your teeth and jaw.
