Orthodontic treatment has come a long way since the days of heavy metal wires and brackets, bulky headgear and the associated "nerd factor." Today's teenagers get more than straight teeth at the doctor's office -- they get fashion accessories says Woodland Hills Braces expert.

Beyond their traditional color, the only thing traditional about braces is that you can see them. According to Woodland cosmetic dentist, contemporary braces are made of super strong metal alloys derived from the space program. Their strength allows them to be the smallest of all braces and therefore the most comfortable. Their density makes them ultra slippery so teeth move faster than they ever have before. Today's braces, in combination with other high tech materials mean fewer office visits to complete treatment says Woodland Hills cosmetic dentist.

Ceramic braces utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about aesthetic appearances. Ceramic brackets are translucent, so they blend in with your natural tooth color. This means that unlike traditional stainless steel braces, with ceramic braces your smile will not look 'metallic.' ...
... In addition, ceramic brackets are designed so that they won't stain or discolor over long periods of time. An orthodontist can let you know if you are a candidate for ceramic braces says tooth whitening Encino specialist.
