Braces (metal, clear, lingual and every color you can imagine!)
At Cranford Orthodontics, we believe your smile journey should be as unique as you are. That’s why we offer a full spectrum of advanced braces solutions for children, teens, and adults — all tailored to your goals, comfort, and lifestyle.
Whether you're looking for traditional braces or more discreet and personalized options, our team will create a plan that works for you.

Types of Braces We Offer
Our practice combines decades of experience with the latest orthodontic technology to deliver faster, more comfortable, and more aesthetic results. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose from a variety of braces options, including:
Clear/Ceramic Braces
Designed for patients who want a more discreet alternative to metal, ceramic braces blend with your natural tooth color while offering the strength needed for effective alignment.
Gold Braces
Gold braces offer the same strength and performance as traditional metal braces, but with a distinctive gold-colored finish. The brackets are made from stainless steel and coated with a gold tone, giving patients a more refined look while still providing reliable orthodontic results. Many patients choose gold braces for their unique appearance and durability, making them a great option for teens and adults who want braces that stand out while delivering precise tooth alignment.
InSmile® Lingual Braces
Placed on the back (lingual) surface of your teeth, Inbrace is hidden from view entirely. Ideal for professionals or anyone seeking completely invisible treatment with the reliability of braces.
Self-Ligating Braces (Damon & Empower)
These modern systems use specialized clips instead of elastic ties, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably. Damon and Empower braces often require fewer visits and can reduce overall treatment time.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces are a time-tested orthodontic solution that effectively straightens teeth and corrects bite issues for patients of all ages. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and fully customizable with fun elastic color options — including school colors, holiday themes, and bright combinations that let kids and teens personalize their smile throughout treatment.
WildSmiles® Designer Braces
Perfect for kids and teens, WildSmiles let patients customize their smile with brackets in fun shapes like stars, hearts, footballs, and more — without compromising on performance.
Each option is supported by our digital technology suite, including iTero® digital impressions, digital X-rays, and smile simulation tools that let you preview your results before treatment begins.

Personalized Plans, Every Time
Dr. Scott Gersch, and Dr. Ilona Rossignol don’t believe in one-size-fits-all orthodontics. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll:
- Take digital photos and scans
- Discuss your smile goals
- Walk you through your treatment options
- Create a fully customized plan based on your needs and lifestyle
We treat patients of all ages — from early intervention to adult smile makeovers — and we’re proud to offer Invisalign as an alternative for eligible patients.
