Pitts Braces
Dr. Tom Pitts is a pioneering orthodontist renowned for his innovations in esthetic orthodontics, having developed an exceptional braces system that delivers superior results for cases ranging from simple to complex.
Our doctors have embraced his philosophy of creating beautiful smile displays where teeth and gums are revealed in ideal proportions, adopting his advanced Ortho Classic Pitts braces that feature self-ligating brackets with small gates instead of rubber ties. This innovative design creates less friction and enables teeth to move faster and more comfortably with gentler forces than traditional braces, while the smaller brackets positioned closer to the gum line enhance aesthetics and comfort.
The system eliminates the need for tooth extraction in 95% of cases and reduces treatment time by 30-40% compared to conventional braces, allowing us to achieve truly incomparable smiles through careful tooth shaping and smile arc optimization.
Damon Clear Brackets
Clear brackets are the least visible, most esthetic but also most delicate. They could be just as effective as the metal braces for the right case and conscientious patient!
Legend Rhodium Braces, our “Soft Silver” Braces
We us different braces for different types of problems and our doctors will discuss which options will make the most beautiful and functional end results for you. Legend Rhodium braces are very esthetic brackets because the the rhodium coating makes they look much softer and less visible than typical metal brackets. Sometimes they are used in conjunction with clear braces because the soft finish makes them look much less noticeable! These braces use elastic ties to attach them to the wires and some patients like to use colorful ties to make a statement.
Iconix Braces – Champagne anyone?!
Iconix brackets are also metal brackets that are champagne gold colored making them more esthetic, just like our rhodium braces. These braces also use elastic ties to attach them to the wires and the champagne color invites different color combinations of elastic ties! The doctors will determine which will deliver the most beautiful results.
Clear Brackets
The iCAT system visualizes areas that traditional X-rays cannot show, including tooth roots, bone density, airway passages, and TMJ structures. This enhanced imaging enables us to create more accurate treatment plans and identify potential complications early.
With iCAT 3D imaging, we provide faster diagnoses and ensure the most effective treatment approach for your specific needs. The low-radiation technology prioritizes patient safety while delivering exceptional image quality for optimal results.
