Modern Braces; Comfortable & More Efficient

Self-Ligating Metal Braces

Self-ligating braces work without elastic bands around each bracket. Instead, tiny doors hold the archwire in place and allow it to slide better. That means your teeth move into place faster and more comfortably than traditional braces. Without the elastic bands, patients find self-ligating braces trap food less, so they're easier to clean. They also have shorter orthodontic checkups because elastics don't need to be changed.

Why Choose Metal Braces

Metal braces are the most tried-and-true method for straightening teeth. Did you know the origins of metal braces date back to ancient Egypt? We've come a long way since then! Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever! They're also the less expensive way to get that gorgeous smile of your dreams!

What Our Patients Are Saying

Common Questions About Braces

Treatment times can vary depending on the number and severity of the dental issues we're treating. On average, patients wear braces from 12-24 months. 

Braces tend to be less expensive than alternative options, such as Invisalign. Clear braces cost a little more than metal braces. Metal braces will range from about $2,000-$8,000. Clear braces average $3,500-$8,000.

You're never too old to get the smile of your dreams! We treat many adult patients of various ages. So whether you're 17 or 70, you could be a candidate for braces! 

You will feel a bit of discomfort when you first get your braces because your teeth are being made to move for the first time. That should subside after a few days. You may feel a bit of discomfort after your braces are tightened, but again, this is temporary. For the most part, your braces won't bother you. 

You'll want to avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods that can damage your braces. Many of the foods are considered "junk" foods, so consider it an opportunity to enjoy healthier eating! The good news is, it's temporary! Once your braces are off, you can go back to enjoying these foods — if you want. You may find you enjoy the healthier foods more!
