Styles of Braces

At Paquette Orthodontics, we use many different styles of braces to help our patients get the best results with the least amount of interference in their daily routines. For adults and older teenagers, we offer clear braces and treatment. For all our patients we have selected the highest quality, most comfortable braces available on the market. Orthodontics today has much to offer, have a look!

  "Silver" Braces

These small metal braces are attached only to the front of the teeth. Their small size makes them the choice of many. The silver braces we use are called Damon2 brackets, named after their designer, Dr. Dwight Damon. They have the unique property of having sliding doors that hold the wires in. This makes each visit faster and the braces smoother and more comfortable.


 Colored Braces

These are the same as "silver braces" with Colored "O" ring ties. Colors can be placed on esthetic braces too. See our color chart to choose your colors.


 Esthetic Braces

These braces blend in with the teeth to become hardly noticeable. We find they are chosen by both adult and child patients. Wear Clarity™ Braces and you'll have a lot to smile about. A comfortable design. An attractive, translucent appearance. And perhaps best of all, the self-confidence that comes from wearing braces that look as good as they perform. Unlike traditional metal braces, you won't have to worry about flashing a "tin grin" every time you smile. You'll feel better about yourself knowing that the natural beauty of your teeth is shining through, and not your braces. Clarity™ Braces won't stain or discolor. They'll look as good the day they come off as the day your orthodontist put them on. Clarity™ Braces will stay securely in place throughout your treatment. And the metal-lined slot allows for faster treatment.


 "Gold" Braces

Gold braces are quite attractive and classy, and offer an attractive, jewelry-like alternative to traditional metal braces. They are appreciated by adults who wear gold jewelry.


 Glow in the Dark Braces

These braces are fun for our adolescent patients. They are tooth colored when not "glowing".



 Invisible Treatment

You might need to have orthodontic treatment. But it might not be necessary for everyone to know it. Like everything else in modern life, the world of orthodontics is changing. For decades, traditional braces had been the only option for adults who wanted straighter teeth. Now offers the first true alternative, by using advances in 3-D imaging technology to create a series of customized plastic aligners. You'll wear each aligner for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will move—little by little, week by week—until they reach the final alignment.


Rest assured as new developments evolve, we will continue to offer the finest materials available, as technology allows us to straighten teeth in fewer visits, with more comfort to the patient, and with more cosmetically-appealing options.
