Where to Receive the Best Treatment for Braces in St. Louis

ST LOUIS, MO, October 15, 2010

Dr. Richard Demko and Dr. Jacqueline Demko are orthodontists in Chesterfield, Washington and St. Charles, Missouri, who specialize in providing quality orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedics for children and adults.

Thanks to today's technology, patients now have more options when it comes to wearing braces. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are becoming increasingly popular along with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases of misaligned teeth. We offer many of these types at our offices.

Metal braces are the most common type. They are made from high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

Ceramic braces (clear) are made of translucent material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets is that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.

Gold braces are stainless steel braces coated in 24 carat gold and are popular with patients of all ages.

Mystique offers the subtlety of a retainer with the strength of metal braces. While remarkably translucent, they're impossible to discolor. They go on easily and are removed just like ordinary metal appliances. They're ultra-smooth, providing excellent sliding mechanics, and yet are as strong as metal slot appliances.
