Types of Braces in Oakland, NJ
Your smile, your goals, your treatment plan. At Loeb Orthodontics, we offer metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and clear aligner treatment in Oakland, NJ.
During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Allison Loeb will evaluate your teeth and bite, listen to your preferences, and explain the options that fit your needs. Whether you’re exploring treatment for yourself or your child, we’ll help you feel comfortable with the next step.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually guide teeth into alignment. They can address a wide range of concerns, including crowded teeth, spacing, and bite problems.
Because braces stay attached to your teeth, there are no removable trays to keep track of. You’ll still need to care for your braces, follow any instructions for rubber bands, and attend adjustment visits.
Dr. Loeb will explain how metal braces could fit into your treatment plan and what to expect along the way.
Clear Ceramic Braces
Clear ceramic braces use brackets that blend with the color of your teeth for a less noticeable appearance. Like metal braces, they use brackets and wires and stay in place throughout treatment.
If you prefer a more discreet look with fixed braces, ceramic braces may be worth considering. Dr. Loeb will assess whether they’re appropriate for your teeth and bite and discuss the care they require.
Invisalign and Angel Aligner
Looking for a removable option? Loeb Orthodontics offers Invisalign® and Angel Aligner™ clear aligners for eligible children, teens and adults.
Clear aligners use custom-made trays instead of brackets and wires. They’re removed for meals and brushing and flossing, and must be worn consistently according to your treatment instructions.

Comparing Braces and Clear Aligners
Metal braces offer visible metal brackets with a fixed treatment approach.
Ceramic braces offer less noticeable brackets with the same fixed format.
Clear aligners offer removable trays and require consistent daily wear.
All options require good oral hygiene and follow-up care. The right choice depends on your orthodontic needs and your preferences, rather than appearance alone.
How Much Do Braces Cost?
The cost of braces depends on your individual treatment plan, its length, and your orthodontic insurance coverage. At your consultation, our team will review your fee and payment options.
