Expert Braces in Houston, TX
At Watson Orthodontics, Dr. Watson and our team offer comprehensive orthodontic care, specializing in both traditional and innovative braces options tailored to your unique smile.
Our Braces Options
We provide two main types of braces: metal braces and clear braces, each designed to suit different preferences and lifestyle needs.
Metal Braces
Metal braces have been the backbone of orthodontic treatment for decades, and for good reason. They are highly effective at correcting a wide range of dental misalignments and malocclusions. Today’s metal braces are more advanced than ever, incorporating the latest technology to enhance comfort and reduce treatment time.
These braces are made from high-grade stainless steel, and thanks to modern advancements, they are much smaller and less conspicuous than earlier versions. The brackets are bonded to the front of each tooth and connected by a thin archwire, which is periodically adjusted to guide teeth into their correct positions.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer an aesthetic alternative to metal braces, ideal for teens and adults who prefer a more discreet orthodontic treatment. These braces work in the same way as metal braces but are made from transparent or tooth-colored ceramic materials that blend in with the natural color of your teeth.
While clear braces are equally effective as their metal counterparts for most orthodontic issues, they are particularly popular among patients who are concerned about the visibility of their braces during social interactions or professional engagements. The ceramic brackets are less noticeable, providing an unobtrusive way to achieve a straighter smile.
