Types of Braces

Home » Braces » Types of Braces

At Sparkman Orthodontics, we work continuously to exceed our patients’ expectations. We want to provide you with the best treatments available so that you can enjoy the smile of your dreams for a lifetime. We understand the impact great appliances can have and that’s why we’ve adopted the highest quality braces at our office.

Metal Braces

Metal Braces are a classic orthodontic treatment that has remained popular for generations because of their consistently spectacular results. They’re ideal for treating oral health issues big and small and have a high success rate. Over the years, this appliance has been refined to perfection, so it’s sleeker and more efficient than ever. We even offer customized options, such as colored elastic ties on the brackets so that you can add personality to your treatment.

Clear Braces

Clear braces use ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural color of your smile for a more discreet appearance. These braces are equally as effective as traditional metal braces; however, the ceramic brackets are less durable than the metal version, so they may not be suitable for every patient.

Damon® System Braces

The Damon bracket uses sliding-door technology known as “self-ligation” that allows the wire to slide back and forth within the bracket. This technology creates less friction and results in greater comfort for the patient. Additionally, Damon braces often reduce both treatment time and the number of adjustments that are usually performed.

Our 5-Star Experience

We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve our community by making them smile every day. Hear what our patients are saying about their experience with us!

Natalie H.
I took my daughter who was already worked up about a not so good job experience elsewhere.. we walk in the have beautiful music playing, we are welcomed by some of the friendliest people! I loved that they gave us a tour and made us feel so welcomed and most importantly made my daughter feel comfortable. I definitely found the place where I am going to get braces for my daughter! The doctor was so supportive and explained everything to where we understood the entire process perfectly. Thanya was great! Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know.
Lori M.
Axel did a great job changing the wires and explaining the rubber bands on my son’s braces. He was very kind and has a great personality!
Chelsey J.
Dr. Lyons and the entire staff are wonderful! I’m very happy with my new smile!
Carmen J.
I loved my whole experience at Sparkmans! My teeth were so bad before and now they look perfect can’t thank the team enough for what they did for me!
Kayla R.
El personal muy amable,!! Muy limpio y atentas las secretarias te hacen sentir vomodo
Dustin H.
These people are the salt of the earth! It’s always such an easy process, and everyone is so nice! Highly recommend Sparkman.
Marcial G.
Sparkman Orthodontics is absolutely amazing! They are friendly, professional, and always have the highest standards for their patients and their employees. I highly recommend them.
Holly B.
I took my son to the Pampa office and was pretty impressed by the way the staff treated us, their level of organization, the way work as a team, their knowledge and their cleanliness. I’m am constantly impressed by them each visit. Today I went to the Amarillo office, and it’s way swankier than the Pampa office. I can’t recommend this place enough. This is by far the BEST dental office I’ve ever experienced.
Kim M.
Sparkman is amazing! My son and I both have nothing but positive things about everyone at both Amarillo/Canyon locations! Their set up flows, from check in, treatment, to checkout!
Rachel H.
Amazing staff! Everyone is always friendly and professional and I love that they set you up with the whole plan and payments from the beginning so no surprises. They explain everything before they do it and that helped a lot with my kiddos anxiety too. Love them all! Highly recommend!
Mags A.
Love Sparkman Orthodontics! From the start, they made the process of getting Invisalign for my 11 year old son worry-free. I was concerned about having to work in multiple appointments over the course of the treatment, but fortunately, we are able to do our scans from home! Communication was quick and we've just moved to our last aligner for this phase of treatment and his teeth look great! Highly recommend.
Jacqueline M.
The whole staff is super nice, and they all made my son feel as comfortable as possible. By far this has been the place with most patience for him. They always make sure he knows exactly what to expect.
Suzy Q.
Being a busy mom of four children and working full time appointments are hard to make. Sparkman orthodontics offers a scan at home which has been amazing! Super easy process to getting a straight and beautiful smile!!
