Traditional Metal Braces
What are Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are by far the treatment option that most people are already familiar with. Here, a series of silver metal brackets are attached to your teeth that are then connected together via a series of wires. Those wires are what shift the teeth into their desired position over time.
Why Traditional Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces are a cost-effective, high-quality way to correct everything from crowded teeth to irregular spacing to an overbite, an underbite, and more.
What is a typical treatment experience with Traditional Metal Braces?
Most people find that traditional braces don’t impact their lifestyle much at all, but they will need to avoid foods that are particularly hard, chewy or sticky for the duration of their treatment.
What is the typical treatment length with Traditional Metal Braces?
This is difficult to answer because everyone is different, but for the most part people wear traditional braces for about two years.

Clear Ceramic
What are Clear Ceramic Braces?
Clear ceramic braces are exactly what they sound like – a braces system where the brackets are made using a white or ceramic material instead of traditional metal or silver.
Why Clear Ceramic Braces?
Because of the unique way that the brackets and wires are constructed, this is a far more discreet option than traditional braces.
What is a typical treatment experience with Clear Ceramic Braces?
Thanks to the clear nature of the braces, most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them unless you come right out and tell them. Beyond that, the actual treatment experience will be largely the same.

Gold Braces
What are Gold Braces?
Gold braces function just like traditional metal braces but feature a gold-colored finish for a more distinctive, stylish look. They use the same high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires, coated with a gold-tone material that provides the same strength and durability as standard metal braces. Gold braces offer patients the reliability of traditional orthodontic treatment with a unique aesthetic twist.
Why Choose Gold Braces?
Gold braces are an excellent option for patients who want effective, time-tested orthodontic treatment with a more personalized appearance. They provide the same dependable results as traditional metal braces, correcting concerns such as crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and more.
Many patients appreciate the warm tone of gold braces, which can complement different skin tones and feel more refined than standard silver brackets. If you’re looking for a treatment that blends performance with personality, gold braces may be a great fit.
What is a Typical Treatment Experience with Gold Braces?
Your experience with gold braces is very similar to traditional metal braces. Brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with archwires that are adjusted periodically to guide your teeth into alignment.
You’ll need to avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods during treatment to protect your braces. With proper care and regular appointments, most patients find that gold braces fit comfortably into their daily routine.
What is the Typical Treatment Length with Gold Braces?
Treatment time varies depending on your individual needs and the complexity of your case. On average, patients wear gold braces for about 18 to 24 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized estimate based on your smile goals.
How Much Do Gold Braces Cost?
The cost of gold braces depends on the complexity and length of your treatment. In many cases, fees are comparable to traditional metal braces. We offer flexible payment options and will walk you through your financial choices to help make treatment affordable and stress-free.
