Different Braces Options

What types of braces do you offer at Idaho Orthodontics?
We offer several styles of braces, including traditional silver braces, clear (ceramic) braces, and gold braces. We also have different bracket shapes and a wide variety of color bands, so you or your child can personalize your look.
I feel overwhelmed by all the choices. How do I decide which treatment is right for me?
You don’t have to decide alone. At your consultation, we’ll evaluate your teeth and bite, talk about your goals, and walk you through the pros and cons of each option—braces or clear aligners. Together, we’ll choose a plan that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
What if I want something less noticeable than regular braces?
If you prefer a more discreet option, we have clear braces that blend with your teeth and clear aligners like Invisalign. These options are designed to be less visible than traditional metal braces while still giving you an effective, predictable result.
Do clear aligners like Invisalign work as well as braces?
For many patients, yes—clear aligners can be just as effective as braces, especially for mild to moderate crowding or spacing. Some complex cases may still be better suited for braces. During your visit, we’ll let you know whether braces, Invisalign, or a combination would be best for your specific situation.
