Victory SeriesTM Metal Braces

Our Victory SeriesTM metal braces are the kind that we are all familiar with. Design advancements have now made them more comfortable and discreet for you.
Wires are tied into your braces with elastic ligatures, which are changed at each monthly appointment.
You may choose from an array of colors each month as you straighten your teeth. We invite you to show your creative side and have fun with your color choices.
ClarityTM Advanced Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide more subtle treatment by using a translucent ceramic material that blends with the color of your teeth. Design advancements have now made them smaller with more rounded corners enhancing your comfort.
A hallmark of ClarityTM Advanced ceramic braces is a stress channel in the center of the bracket. This unique design allows for clean, predictable removal of your ceramic braces in contrast with other systems.
Most patients choose clear elastic ligatures along with their ceramic braces, but you may also choose different colors to brighten your smile and make your braces pop.
