Traditional Metal Braces Enid
Enid Metal braces are the most common braces type used because they are cost-effective and efficient. Today’s braces are more comfortable than ever before and sleeker than ever before. They are made of high-grade stainless steel and can be customized by adding elastics in your favorite colors.
Self-Ligating Braces Enid
Enid Self-ligating brackets consist of brackets and wires, just like Enid Braces. However, self-ligating brackets use a slide door mechanism rather than elastics to hold the archwire in place. This results in less friction when moving the teeth, which means a more comfortable experience for you. And without the elastics to change out, you’ll be in our office less frequently.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces Enid
Enid Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces. For this reason, 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. For these reasons, ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.
Clear Aligners Enid
Enid Clear aligners are clear, removable acrylic trays that fit comfortably over your teeth to guide them to their new locations. Patients love them because they are removable, making brushing and flossing easy. That also means you can eat and drink whatever you want during treatment because you’ll remove the aligners. They offer a more comfortable experience because there is no metal to irritate the mouth.
