Types of Braces

Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more attractive than those from earlier generations. The appliance of choice for today’s teenager!

Ceramic (Clear) Braces

The subtle and aesthetic choice in orthodontic wear, clear braces offer our patients an attractive alternative to metal braces. These braces sport a translucent appearance without sacrificing the comfort and performance of metal braces. As a result, the natural beauty of your teeth shines through when you smile, and not the metal look of traditional braces.  

iBraces™

One of the few practitioners of this art, Dr. Korne has been using lingual (behind the teeth) braces for the last 5 years. Currently, he is a premier provider for iBraces by Lingualcare, the only 100% customized orthodontic braces available today. Because no two people are alike, no two sets of these braces are alike.

iBraces are placed behind your teeth so no one will know that you are wearing braces unless you tell them. Because they are custom-milled using the latest CAD-CAM technology, they perfectly adapt to the inside of the teeth. These braces are as efficient and precise as the ones on the front of the teeth so that they are applicable in virtually every type of clinical situation.
