At Lanier Orthodontics, we provide a variety of braces, including clear, gold, and self-ligating options. Clear braces are designed to blend in with your natural smile, whereas gold braces are for those who wish to make a statement with their smile while undergoing orthodontic treatment. Self-ligating metal braces consist of brackets bonded to teeth and wires threaded through bracket slots. Because self-ligating braces lack elastic bands, adjustment appointments are typically shorter and less frequent.
