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

Dr. Crain makes it a point to stay on top of the latest technology and appliances by attending seminars, training classes and studying research.  He has found that, in some cases, "new" is not always "best."  The orthodontic technique that Dr. Crain uses has been extensively researched at the Baylor College of Dentistry orthodontic department.  This research has followed patients for as long as 24, 28 & 32 years, with proven results for long-term alignment.  Yes, YOU CAN HAVE straight teeth that last a lifetime!
