We understand that different patients have different priorities when it comes to braces. To accommodate our clientele, City Centre Dentistry provides two types of braces in Surrey.
1. Wire and Bracket Braces
This traditional style of braces shifts teeth using brackets, bonding material, wire and elastic. At regular intervals, the orthodontist tightens the braces. This series of minor adjustments in tooth position straightens the teeth.
2. Clear Line Braces
You also have the option of Clearline, a type of clear line braces. Patients using Clearline progress through a series of aligners made of transparent, smooth plastic. They wear aligners over the teeth, much like a retainer. Each aligner in the series differs slightly from the preceding one, so as a patient’s progress through the aligners, their teeth gradually move into place.
Clearline braces do not use wire or brackets. Your dentist or orthodontist will plan out the exact movements each tooth will make, so your set of aligners achieves your desired results.
