Different types of BracesIn our office, we offer 3 types of braces depending on your orthodontic needs:
SimpliClear by BioMers This appliance uses ceramic brackets on the front teeth and premolars, as well as a patented polymer wire. The result is an appliance that is almost completely transparent at the front. This the most aesthetically pleasing option. Ceramic Brackets and Standard Wire This appliance uses ceramic brackets on the front teeth and premolars or the "centre-six", but with a standard metal wire. Where possible, we use a white Teflon-coated arch wires can help ceramic braces to blend in . This results in an appliance with very low visibility. Ceramic braces or SimpliClear braces will increase the cost of your treatment because ceramic/SimpliClear brackets may cost several times more than their stainless steel equivalents. A longer treatment time will be required or involve increased treatment difficulties because of factors such as the inconvenience of replacing broken brackets / arch wires. Standard Brackets and Standard Wire This appliance is all metal. The brackets and wires that are used are silver in colour. It is the lowest cost and most durable option for fixed appliance treatment. The cost of the package will vary according to the cost of the material and complexity of the treatment. A typical package the treatment duration will be between 2 to 3 years. The costs will depend on complexity of orthodontic treatment. Package includes consultation, dental records, CT scan, consumables, a set of retainers, 4 dental extractions, brackets and treatment fees. We do not charge GST. Other cost not included in the package could include wisdom tooth(teeth) removal, root canal treatment, fillings/restoratives, implants, surgical procedures etc. The above package serve as a guide and may differ depending on each patient's needs and treatment objective.
