Damon Self-Ligating Brackets
Dr. Larkin offers self-ligating braces in both metal and clear ceramic. Self-ligating braces are similar to traditional braces, but they do not need elastic ties to guide the movement of the teeth. Instead, self-ligating brackets have a small door that closes over the archwires and applies pressure to assist in moving the teeth, replacing the need for elastic ties. Self-ligating brackets are phenomenal for patients who are severely crowded or may not be able to come in as frequently for adjustments since the doors provide constant pressure to the archwires.
Ceramic Brackets
Ceramic brackets offer a discreet and more comfortable aspect to orthodontic treatment. These brackets are virtually invisible and are a great alternative if you would prefer for your braces to be less visible. In conjunction, we also offer tooth colored archwires to help disguise the braces even further. Dr. Larkin offers both self-ligating and regular brackets in clear ceramic.
