Traditional Braces
Time-tested metal or ceramic braces — the right choice for complex cases and growing patients.
What is Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces still play an important role in orthodontics. For complex bite issues, severe rotations, or specific growth-modification cases, fixed braces give the orthodontist precise control that even modern aligners can't match. At Amores Dental, we offer both metal and tooth-colored ceramic braces — and we'll honestly tell you when they're the better choice over Invisalign for your case.
