Modern Treatments
Dental technology only gets better every year, and Dr. Brady stays at the forefront to keep your treatment as comfortable and efficient as possible. You'll find the latest and greatest orthodontic treatments at Brady Orthodontics, including clear aligners and high-tech KLOwen braces.
Clear Aligners
Unlike traditional braces, this kind of orthodontic treatment doesn’t rely on a system of metal or ceramic brackets and wires. The aligners system is made up of a series of fully customized, clear trays called aligners that are nearly invisible and completely removable.
Their soft plastic also means no friction or abrasions inside the mouth, so they are more comfortable to wear. The aligners are changed out weekly, and they'll gradually move your teeth into the best position for your smile.
Ceramic Braces
While traditional metal braces remain the most popular option for orthodontic treatment, ceramic braces can be a great choice for some patients. Sometimes known as clear braces, these provide a much less noticeable method of treatment.
Ceramic braces use the same components as traditional braces, but instead of metal, the brackets on the front side of the teeth are made of see-through ceramic material.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most widely used type of fixed orthodontic appliance. They're a reliable, effective, and economical option that have the stood the test of time for over a century.
Though past incarnations have been bulky, awkward, or even painful, today's metal braces are smaller, lighter, and more comfortable to wear than ever before.

Customized for Your Lifestyle
A majority of the patients we treat here at Brady Orthodontics will end up choosing traditional metal braces as a way to straighten their teeth. While metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment, you have several other options at our Winnetka or Evanston office.
After your first free consultation, Dr. Brady will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your lifestyle and smile goals.
Fixed vs. Removable Appliances
You should understand the difference between our two kinds of appliances: fixed and removable. Dr. Brady attaches fixed appliances (like braces) to your teeth and he won't remove them until you complete your treatment.
Removable appliances, like clear aligners, are worn about 20-22 hours a day but can be taken off easily.
Aside from the obvious differences, Dr. Brady uses clear aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. He generally uses fixed appliances when he needs to address serious and comprehensive issues.
