Long Hill Orthodontist Explains Types of Braces

Did you know that there are different types of braces?? Here at Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics in Long Hill, we are happy to offer the right type of braces that best suits your child’s lifestyle. Smiles by Lorino is pleased to offer traditional, ceramic braces or the popular Invisalign and Invisalign Teen for adolescents.

Traditional metal braces may be referred to an “oldie but goodie.” They are typically within a set price range that makes them just as cost effective as more advanced procedures. Metal braces that we offer at Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics are the solution to any and all oral misalignments. Metal braces have come a long way in terms of look as well. Many times they can be customized to have colored bands, and some brands have found ways to slim down their bulky appearance. Dr. Lorino can provide some of the best results in the Long Hill area and has exceptional experience with treating all types of cases with metal braces.

Ceramic braces are very similar to traditional metal, but with some added benefits. Firstly, they are much less noticeable than metal. The ceramic brackets make them blend with the teeth much more naturally than regular braces would. Secondly, they can be more comfortable because of their different materials. Many brands also use advanced wire systems in ceramic braces so as to make them more comfortable on a day-to-day basis. Much like traditional metal braces they are on for a set amount of time, and this time varies with each case. Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics can provide quality treatment with these braces, as well as answer any questions about them that you may have.

Finally, Invisalign braces are sets of clear plastic aligners that can be used as an alternative to more obvious metal or ceramic types. They are comfortable to wear due to their sleek material, and run within a similar price range to other options. The biggest perk of using Invisalign systems is that they are removable, making eating and brushing much easier. The popularity of Invisalign in Long Hill has increased tremendously in the past few years and has been a rising trend across the country. Dr. Lorino has been recognized as a top provider of this treatment to patients in and around the Long Hill area.

Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics in Long Hill knows that orthodontic technology has come a long way and we are happy to be able to offer the best orthodontic treatment plan. That is why we offer traditional metal braces, as well as ceramic and Invisalign, to patients in Long Hill. Each of these treatments has their own benefits and disadvantageous.
