At Farrow Orthodontics we provide our patients with affordable and superior orthodontic care in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as well as the surrounding areas, including New Jersey, Delaware and Montgomery County. We Are Proud To Offer Many Types Of Braces Including Damon Braces, Ceramic Braces, The Speed System & Invisalign®. Dr. Anthony Farrow uses the most comfortable, effective, and advanced braces available. Please read below to learn more about each type.
- Metal Braces: Metal Braces are the most common type of dental braces. They are made of high-grade stainless steel and are smaller and more comfortable than ever before.
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawbacks to ceramic brackets are that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
- Gold Braces: Gold braces are made of stainless steel that is coated with 24-karat gold and are popular with patients of all ages.
- Damon Braces: No elastic or steel ties are used with the Damon System. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient. The Damon Braces System reduces both treatment time and the number of adjustments that are usually performed.
- Speed System: The speed appliance is a self-litigating device that uses no ties. The self-litigation system also cuts down on patient discomfort and gets rid of the friction caused by other appliances. The speed system is small and less noticeable, giving way to better aesthetics for our patients.
- Invisalign®: The Invisalign System® is a series of clear overlay templates—called aligners—that have been generated by computer simulation to gradually move the teeth. This system is available to adult patients with certain orthodontic bite problems. Ask us if you are a candidate for the Invisalign system®.
