Life With Braces

Can be Really Awesome


Having braces is much more comfortable than it used to be, especially when you get your braces at Maginnis Orthodontics. That’s because Dr. Maginnis offers many of the latest technologies, including Invisalign® aligners designed to make orthodontics better than ever.

The first few days after each appointment there here might be some general tenderness of your teeth and mouth. Your teeth might even feel a little loose (after all – they’re on the move. You may want to take some form of pain reliever (what you would normally take for a headache) during this time. Tenderness usually subsides within a few days.

Types of Braces We Offer Near Bluffton, Hilton Head, and Statesboro

Metal Braces

Metal braces are one of the most effective types of braces because they are the cheapest option, and are easy for an orthodontist to control when correcting your teeth. Metal braces, also known as traditional braces, come in a range of colors, allowing people with braces to make their smiles pop.

Damon Braces

Damon braces use self-ligating clips or brackets unlike traditional metal braces that secure the archwire with rubber bands. This simplifies teeth cleaning and also reduces the frequency and discomfort of orthodontist visits.

Clear Braces

Clear braces with 3M Clarity Brackets made of ceramic material are less noticeable than traditional braces. The clear feature does not hold stains and resists discoloration over the course of your treatment. This option does not require a longer metal slot liner, so there is less metal waste!
