Type of Braces

Ovation Metal Braces
The 4-dimensional bracket system endorsed by Dr. Ronald Roth combines unequaled precision for more efficient treatment. The design of the brace permits more accurate positioning. OVATION's wire slot is fabricated using computer controls to ensure exact dimensions. These traditional metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel. They are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than the older designs. The edges are also more rounded for reduced abrasion.

In-Ovation-R (Metal Braces)
In-Ovation-R is the orthodontic market's premier self-locking (self-ligating technology) bracket with the INTERACTIVE clip to hold the wire in the brace. Its revolutionary low profile design and self-ligating technology allow the brace to slide along the wire with reduced friction and therefore, in many cases, actually reduces treatment time up to 6 months. It also means you don’t have to come in for adjustments as frequently.

Interactive Mystique (Ceramic Braces)
This is the world’s first interactive ceramic brace. Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. Unlike the traditional clear braces, the Interactive Mystique brace has an interactive clip that holds the wire in position. Similar to the In-Ovation-R (above), the objective is to reduce the friction in moving teeth and so reduce treatment time. The brace itself does not pick up any stains during treatment; however, the elastic modules used to sometimes close space may. All clear braces do require a slight change in dietary habits to limit the color change between visits. We advise our patients to rinse after every meal and especially after coffee to help minimize the staining.

Invisalign-The clear alternative to metal braces.
The Invisalign System is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult and older teenagers with certain orthodontic problems. The most important advantage of this system is obviously near invisibility of the treatment. You can also keep your teeth much cleaner as the trays can be removed at will. Of course, this also means much more discipline on the part of our patients, as they have to make sure the trays are worn correctly for any tooth movement. They are comfortable to wear and remove easily when you eat, brush and floss. Make sure to ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system.
