Orthodontic Braces in Hamilton — Teens and Adults Welcome
Braces remain one of the most effective and reliable orthodontic treatments available. At Red Rose Dentistry in Hamilton, we offer traditional metal braces and tooth-coloured ceramic braces for teens and adults who want a straighter, healthier smile. Our Hamilton orthodontic team creates personalized treatment plans to deliver precise, lasting results.
Types of Braces Available in Hamilton
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common and cost-effective orthodontic option. High-grade stainless steel brackets and archwires apply consistent, controlled pressure to move teeth into the correct position. Modern metal braces are sleeker and more comfortable than ever — and are highly effective for treating even complex alignment cases in Hamilton patients.
Ceramic (Tooth-Coloured) Braces
Ceramic braces work exactly like metal braces but feature tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend naturally with your teeth. This makes them a popular choice for Hamilton adults and teens who want effective orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.
What Conditions Can Braces Treat in Hamilton?
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite and underbite
- Crossbite and open bite
- Jaw misalignment
- Complex cases that clear aligners may not fully address
