Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable ways to correct crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth. Using brackets and wires, braces gently move your teeth into their proper positions over time.
Benefits of braces include:
We also offer clear braces, which blend with your teeth for a more discreet option.

You may feel some pressure when braces are adjusted or when switching to a new Invisalign aligner, but discomfort usually fades within a few days.

Braces typically require visits every 4–6 weeks. Invisalign check-ins are usually every 6–8 weeks.
Many plans offer partial coverage for braces or Invisalign, especially for children. We’ll help you check your benefits before treatment begins.
