Types of Braces
Orthodontic Solutions We Offer
We offer a range of braces options to suit different preferences and dental needs. After a thorough consultation, we will recommend the best option for you:
Traditional Metal Braces
Ceramic Braces
Self-Ligating Braces
Braces Suitable for Kids and Adults
Both kids and adults can benefit from braces, but the choice of braces, treatment length, and considerations about aesthetics may differ. No matter your age, braces can have a lasting impact on your dental health and overall confidence.
Braces for Kids
Early orthodontic intervention can correct bite issues and alignment problems while their jaws and teeth are still developing. The ideal time for braces is often between the ages of 10 and 14 when most adult teeth have come in but the jaw is still growing. This can prevent more severe problems down the road, such as overcrowding or serious misalignment.
For children, traditional metal braces are often the go-to option due to their durability and lower cost. Additionally, kids often enjoy customizing their braces with colored bands, making the experience more fun and personal.
Braces for Adults
It’s never too late to straighten your teeth. In fact, more and more adults are choosing to get braces to improve their smile, correct bite issues, or resolve shifting teeth caused by age. Adult orthodontic treatments are similar to those for kids, but adult bones are denser, so treatment can take a bit longer.
However, adults often have more discreet options available to them, such as ceramic braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, making orthodontic care less noticeable in professional or social settings. The key advantage for adults is that treatment is still highly effective, and the end result is a healthier smile and improved dental function.
Why Should You Choose to Get Braces?
Corrects Bite Issues
Overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites can cause discomfort, uneven wear on teeth, and jaw issues. Braces work to realign your bite, improving not only your smile but also your overall dental health.
Effective for Crowding
Crowded teeth can overlap, twist, and create challenges with cleaning, leading to plaque buildup and cavities. If you have gaps between your teeth, braces can close those spaces for a more uniform smile.
Promote Long-term Oral Health
Misaligned teeth or a problematic bite can lead to a range of dental problems, from tooth decay to jaw pain and gum disease. Braces help to prevent these issues by properly aligning your teeth, making them easier to clean and maintain.
Average Cost of Braces
The cost of braces can vary based on the type of braces you choose, the complexity of your case, and the length of your treatment. On average, traditional metal braces tend to be the most affordable option, while self-litigating braces and ceramic braces are higher in price.
Prices typically include your initial consultation, fitting, regular adjustments, and retainers after your treatment is complete. However, your final cost will depend on your individual case, and our team will provide a detailed quote after a thorough assessment.
Our clinic offers flexible payment plans and financing options to make orthodontic care more affordable. We’re happy to help you explore financing options to ensure that your braces are as affordable as possible.

FAQ on Braces
Frequently Asked Questions
The length of time you’ll need braces depends on the severity of your case and the type of braces you choose. On average, most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months. However, treatment could take as little as a year or as long as three years.
It’s normal to experience some discomfort, especially after getting braces put on or adjusted. This usually lasts a few days and can be managed with pain relievers. The discomfort is a sign that your teeth are moving and the treatment is working.

Typically, you’ll need to visit every 4-6 weeks, depending on the type of braces and your treatment plan.
Once your braces are removed, you’ll need to wear a retainer to help keep your teeth in their new positions. This is an important part of the process, as it ensures your teeth don’t shift back over time. Your orthodontist will advise how long and how often you should wear your retainer.
If a bracket or wire breaks, contact your orthodontist as soon as possible to schedule a repair. In the meantime, you can cover any sharp edges with orthodontic wax to prevent irritation or injury to your mouth.
