Braces

Our comprehensive braces page covers traditional metal braces, the patient experience, types of braces, benefits, what to eat, how to clean them, and everything else you need to know. Braces remain the most predictable, versatile orthodontic treatment available and are often the best choice for complex bite corrections.

Informed Decisions

How to Choose the Right Treatment

The best orthodontic option varies from person to person. While some patients prioritize absolute aesthetics, others focus on speed of results or ease of maintenance.

Expert Guidance

Your orthodontist will walk through each option at your free consultation and recommend the best clinical fit.

Key Decision Factors

Bite complexity

Some bites need braces, others can be corrected with clear aligners.

Lifestyle

Clear aligners are removable, braces are fixed (no compliance needed).

Aesthetic preferences

Visible metal vs. ceramic vs. clear aligners.

Budget and financing

Costs are similar across options in most cases.

Age and growth stage

Some treatments work best during specific developmental windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Neither is universally “better” — each excels in different situations. Braces handle complex cases with high predictability, while Invisalign offers superior discretion and removability. Our orthodontists will recommend the right option based on your specific bite.
Most comprehensive cases run 12-24 months. Simpler cases can complete in as little as 6-12 months, while complex bite corrections may take 24-36 months. Your consultation will provide a specific estimate.
Absolutely. About 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. Modern options like Invisalign and clear braces make discreet adult treatment more comfortable than ever.
Most patients receive braces between ages 10-14, when permanent teeth have erupted and jaw growth is still active. However, braces work at nearly any age. Early evaluation at age 7 lets our orthodontists determine the ideal treatment timing.
Yes — we accept most major PPO orthodontic insurance plans and offer flexible in-house financing. Visit our insurance and financing page for details.
