Creative Smiles Orthodontics provides a wide range of types of braces, based on your budget and specific oral corrective needs. Obviously, the cost of braces can be a concern. That is why we offer many types of braces, and flexible payment plans to meet your specific needs. We are here to make sure you, or your child, have the straight smile you’ve dreamed of and the confidence to show it to the world. Great smiles begin with high quality orthodontic care and the right braces for your situation. You may be a great candidate for: Metal Braces: Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive. They are extremely durable and are usually the least expensive variety of braces, and can handle most any level of smile correction. Ceramic (Clear) Braces: With brackets made of clear, translucent ceramic, these braces are popular with adults due to cosmetic appeal (they are said to “blend in” to a tooth’s natural color) and pricing. ClearCorrect© and Invisalign© Braces: For more information on these clear alternatives to standard braces, please see our clear braces page. Creative Smiles Orthodontics of St. Clair Shores is the home of Dr. Justina LaPoulas, one of the best orthodontists in the field.
