Types of Braces
At Vibrant Orthodontics, we believe that every smile is a masterpiece in the making. Braces are one of the most effective tools to help you achieve the beautiful, straight smile you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, braces can transform your teeth and boost your confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about braces at Vibrant Orthodontics.
Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of metal brackets attached to each tooth and connected by wires and rubber bands. Over time, these components work together to gently shift your teeth into their proper positions, giving you a straighter, more aligned smile.
Braces apply continuous pressure over time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction. As the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate their new positions. Regular adjustments are necessary to ensure that the braces continue to apply the right amount of pressure throughout your orthodontic treatment.
Traditional Metal
Traditional metal braces are a cornerstone of orthodontic treatment, known for their durability and effectiveness. Made from high-grade stainless steel, these braces are designed to handle a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems. They consist of metal brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by an archwire that applies gentle, continuous pressure to move your teeth into their proper positions. One of the fun aspects of metal braces is the ability to customize them with colorful rubber bands, allowing you to express your personality throughout your treatment. Metal braces are often the most cost-effective option, making them accessible for many patients who want reliable results.
Rose Gold
If you’re looking to make a stylish statement with your orthodontic treatment, rose gold braces are the perfect choice. This trendy option combines the robustness and effectiveness of traditional metal braces with a unique, fashionable twist. The rose gold color provides a chic, modern alternative, allowing you to turn your orthodontic journey into a fashion-forward experience. Like other types of braces, rose gold braces involve brackets bonded to each tooth, connected by an archwire that guides your teeth into their proper alignment over time. You can also personalize them with colorful rubber bands to further showcase your individual style. Rose gold braces are ideal for those who want to approach their orthodontic treatment with both function and flair.
Clear Ceramic
For those seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution, clear ceramic braces are an excellent choice. These braces function similarly to traditional metal braces but with a significant aesthetic advantage: the brackets are made from clear or tooth-colored ceramic material, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth. This makes them less noticeable, which is particularly appealing to teens and adults who prefer a subtler look during their treatment. Ceramic braces are as effective as metal braces in treating various orthodontic issues, ensuring you achieve a beautifully aligned smile without compromising on aesthetics. Plus, the smooth ceramic material offers added comfort against your gums and cheeks.

Our team is committed to providing personalized treatment plans that cater to your unique needs and lifestyle. With our affordable pricing options and diverse treatment methods, achieving your dream smile has never been easier or more enjoyable.
Braces for Kids
At Vibrant Orthodontics, we understand the importance of starting orthodontic care early to ensure a healthy and beautiful smile for your child. Braces for kids are not just about aesthetics — they play a crucial role in correcting dental issues that can affect oral health and development.
Braces for kids have many benefits for the appearance and development of your child’s smile, including:
- Correcting Bite Issues — Braces can fix bite problems such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites, which can cause difficulty in chewing and speaking if left untreated.
- Preventing Future Dental Problems — Addressing misalignment early can prevent more severe dental issues, such as tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw problems, as your child grows.
- Boosting Confidence — A straight, beautiful smile can significantly boost your child’s self-esteem and social confidence during critical developmental years.
- Improving Oral Hygiene — Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and promoting better overall oral hygiene.
Your child’s journey with braces at Vibrant Orthodontics starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Our team will conduct a thorough examination, including digital scans and X-rays, to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs. Once braces are placed, we’ll schedule regular check-ups to adjust the braces and monitor progress.
We aim to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for our young patients. Our friendly staff and welcoming environment help put kids at ease, ensuring each visit is a positive one. Plus, we use the latest technology and techniques to minimize discomfort and maximize efficiency throughout the treatment process.
Vibrant Kids Club
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends all kids see an orthodontist for screening by the time they’re seven. Seven is a great age to check on your child’s smile, as this is the perfect time for us to see if there are any problems or issues occurring. Not only that, if we catch a problem early enough, we can do something about it before it becomes an even bigger problem that requires more extensive care, such as a tooth extraction. Early intervention means we can monitor your child’s smile as it’s growing so we can provide the needed treatment to help guide your child’s teeth into their correct position.
So, if you have a child that’s around seven, join our Vibrant Kids’ Club today! It’s a complimentary program that gives your child free growth screenings as well as free checkups to monitor your child’s smile until they’re ready for treatment. Our Florida braces for kids are guaranteed to give your child a healthy, beautiful smile.
At Vibrant Orthodontics, we’re dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic care in a fun, supportive environment. We believe that every child deserves a healthy, confident smile, and we’re here to guide them every step of the way.
Braces for Teens
Navigating the teen years can be challenging, but getting braces doesn’t have to be. At Vibrant Orthodontics, we understand that this stage of life is all about fitting in and feeling confident. The best part about being a teen and needing braces is that most teens already wear them, so you won’t be alone. In fact, getting braces as a teen has sort of become a rite of passage.
The thing is, today’s braces are nothing like the ones your mom or grandma wore. Advances in orthodontic technology mean that today’s braces are lighter, smaller, stronger, and have a lower profile. These improvements make them more comfortable to wear and less painful, ensuring that your teen can go about their daily activities with minimal disruption.
At Vibrant Orthodontics, Dr. Rezaie goes out of her way to get to know your teen. She takes the time to learn about their hobbies, the instruments they play, what they like to do for fun, and more. This personalized approach allows Dr. Rezaie to create a custom treatment plan that fits not only your teen’s lifestyle but also your budget. Whether your teen is an athlete, musician, or artist, our tailored plans ensure that their braces won’t hold them back from doing what they love.
We know that a straight, beautiful smile can significantly boost a teen’s confidence and self-esteem. Our goal at Vibrant Orthodontics is to make the journey to that perfect smile as smooth and enjoyable as possible. With our friendly staff and state-of-the-art technology, we strive to create a supportive environment where your teen feels comfortable and cared for.
Braces For Adults
Orthodontic treatment is often associated with children and teens; however, one in four orthodontic patients are adults. At Vibrant Orthodontics, we understand that achieving a healthy and beautiful smile is important at any age. Modern orthodontic techniques offer numerous benefits for adults, making it easier than ever to enhance your smile and improve your oral health.
There are several reasons why adults are increasingly taking advantage of modern orthodontic treatments. One of the most compelling reasons is the aesthetic improvement that comes with a broader, more youthful smile. Proper alignment can enhance lip support, giving your face a more balanced appearance.
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontic treatment plays a critical role in maintaining the long-term health of your teeth and gums. Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to clean effectively between teeth, leading to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease. By aligning your teeth, braces make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, reducing the risk of these common dental issues.
Another significant benefit of adult orthodontic treatment is that it can be coordinated with other professionals, including dentists or physicians, to achieve comprehensive care. For example, if you require restorative work, such as crowns or implants, we can work alongside your dentist to ensure that your teeth are properly aligned beforehand, optimizing the outcome of these procedures.
At Vibrant Orthodontics, we believe in providing personalized care that fits your unique needs and lifestyle. Our team, led by Dr. Rezaie, takes the time to understand your goals and concerns, creating a customized treatment plan designed to provide optimal results. We utilize the latest technology and techniques to ensure that your treatment is as comfortable and efficient as possible.
