Gold metal bracket
Metal braces are the most common type. Metal braces have evolved over the years; they’re now smaller and more discrete and also . Patients can also include colored bands to create their own unique appearance. Ceramic braces are much like the metal option, however they’re made of tooth-colored or clear brackets and effectively blend in with the teeth.

Retainers
Maintain Your Smile
Boyles Orthodontics creates beautiful smiles, but retainers are always needed to maintain that smile. Patients typically wear the retainers full time for approximately one year after getting their braces or aligners removed. Patients are then instructed to continue wearing their retainers at nighttime. The most common problem with retainers is losing or misplacing them.
​
Essix Retainer
This type of retainer is made of molded clear plastic and resembles an Invisalign aligner. People like this type of retainer because it is less noticeable than a Hawley retainer. Essix retainers also have a shorter lifespan than Hawley retainers. On average, they begin to wear out after a few years, and then need to be replaced.
Hawley Retainer
This type of retainer is made of bendable wire and acrylic or plastic. The wire goes across the front of your teeth, and the acrylic is molded to fit perfectly inside your mouth. Hawley retainers are available in a large variety of colors. This type of retainer is adjustable so that your orthodontist can “tweak” your teeth a little bit after braces.
Permanent Bonded Retainer
This retainer stays in your mouth all the time, because it is bonded (glued) to the back of your teeth. Usually this type of retainer is placed behind the six front lower teeth. It can be very difficult to floss the teeth which are bonded; you will need to use floss threaders to do it correctly. Patients can tend to build up plaque and tartar around this type of retainer if good oral hygiene is not maintained.
RPE (Rapid Palatal Expander)
Rapid palatal expanders are used to make the upper jaw wider and correct crossbites. The expander is glued into the patient’s mouth and typically stays in for 5 to 6 months. This is a painless appliance that can make room for teeth that have not yet come into the mouth and prevent asymmetrical growth of the jaw.
