Metal Braces | Carmel
Get a Broader, Healthier Smile
One of our most widely used orthodontic treatments, modern metal braces and self-ligating braces at Emerick Orthodontics offer a state-of-the-art, lightweight option for reaching your smile goals.
Trusted, Time-Tested Care
For decades, orthodontists have trusted metal braces to straighten teeth and correct a variety of orthodontic problems that come between you and a healthy, more beautiful smile, including:
- Crowding
- Crooked teeth
- Uneven spacing
- Overbite
- Underbite
Modern braces at Emerick Orthodontics are ideal for you and all our patients of all ages and needs. Using brackets and an archwire, braces can reliably shift your teeth into place and help you feel more confident in the look and feel of your smile.
A straighter smile also helps prevent issues like tooth decay, gingivitis, and gum disease to give you not just a more beautiful grin — but a healthier one as well.
Metal or Clear Ceramic Braces at Emerick Orthodontics
You’ll begin your smile journey with a free consultation at our Carmel office so Dr. Emerick and our expert smile team can get to know you and your unique needs.
We’ll take X-rays and other images of your teeth to create a completely personalized treatment plan just for your smile. Dr. Emerick will then place your braces, and you’ll need to come in roughly once a month to have adjustments made.
At the end of your orthodontic treatment, we’ll remove your braces to reveal your healthy, beautiful new smile.
Self-Ligating Metal Braces
At Emerick Orthodontics, we offer self-ligating metal braces to help you and all our patients get a broader, healthier smile more quickly and comfortably.
Damon braces is an innovative, self-ligating braces system that uses a patented slide mechanism to hold the archwire to the bracket and allow the wire to move more freely.
The shape-memory wire allows your teeth to shift more quickly than with traditional braces. This state-of-the-art wire also reduces the number of adjustments needed, so you’ll enjoy fewer appointments throughout your treatment.
Not only does the Damon system reduce friction to give you a more comfortable smile journey — but because the system doesn’t use elastic ligatures on each bracket to hold the wire in place, cleaning your braces during treatment is easier and less stressful.
