It’s important to know that you have options when it comes to undergoing orthodontic treatment. Dr. Anne C. Kossowan of Kossowan Orthodontics explains thoroughly to her patients that live in or work near the Upper East Side in Manhattan the types of braces she provides.

One type is clear braces. Clear braces are made out of clear ceramic material and therefore less visible to the common observer. They are a great option for those individuals that have cosmetic concerns. However, clear braces do require more attention to oral hygiene. Ceramic braces are larger and are more brittle than their metal counterparts. This is why ceramic braces tend to be used more on upper front teeth than on lower teeth.

Other types of appliances Kossowan Orthodontics offers includes:

• Self-ligating braces
• Lingual braces
• Invisalign
• Invisalign Teen
