How It Works

In-Ovation braces are similar to traditional braces, but the main difference is its self-ligating design or free-sliding. This means they have a built-in mechanism to hold the archwire in place without the need for elastic or metal ties. When you visit us at Wake Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, our team will place the brackets and clips on each individual tooth, along with an archwire that runs through the brackets. These braces have a sliding door or clip mechanism on each bracket, allowing the archwire to move freely within the bracket. This design reduces friction between the wire and the bracket, which can result in more comfortable and efficient tooth movement. As a result, the system works together to apply controlled forces to your teeth, guiding them into their proper positions over time.

Advantages of In-Ovation

In-Ovation braces offer many benefits compared to traditional braces. Here are a few reasons why our patients choose this orthodontic treatment option:

Less Appointments

Because the archwire can move more freely within the brackets, less frequent adjustments may be needed compared to traditional braces. On average, our In-Ovation patients may have 40% fewer in-office appointments, which means you have more time and freedom back in your schedule!

In-Ovation patients often finish treatment plans sooner compared to traditional braces.

Some patients find that these braces are more comfortable than traditional braces because they exert less pressure on the teeth and gums. You also don’t have to worry about the aches and pains that often come after tightening traditional braces.

The self-ligating design of In-Ovation braces may make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces. Without wires or elastics to collect food particles and plaque, there is less risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Who Could Benefit From In-Ovation

Anyone aspiring for a straighter, healthier smile can benefit from In-Ovation braces! Most often many of our patients come to us looking to fix a wide range of dental issues such as:

  • Misalignments
  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked/gapped teeth
  • Overbites
  • Underbites
  • Crossbites
  • TMJ Disorders

We also proudly offer this appliance in both metal and clear ceramic braces. The ceramic brackets are less noticeable than traditional metal ones, providing a more discreet treatment option for those concerned about the appearance of braces.
