We have a variety of options, and it is our top priority to present you with the best tailored framework for you.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common and classic option in orthodontics. An affordable and comfortable treatment with a splash of colorful rubber bands you can change every month!
Clear Braces
Clear braces feature tooth colored ceramic brackets that blend seamlessly onto the teeth, being less visible than metal braces and offering a subtle look that color-matches your teeth.
Self-Ligating Braces
Damon® braces don’t require elastic ties (these are the colorful rubber bands on traditional braces). This allows for low friction which results in more efficient tooth movement with less discomfort and reduced visits and treatment time.
Lingual (Hidden) Braces
Inbrace® or Incognito® braces are placed behind your teeth rather than the front, making them invisible but delivering the same effective, reliable technology as traditional braces. No one will know you are wearing braces unless you tell all!
Clear Aligners
Invisalign® or Spark® clear aligners are virtually invisible and can be a great alternative for braces so you don’t have to wait until your treatment is done to enjoy your smile! Using a series of clear aligners custom-made just for you, your teeth move into the smile that you want.
Retainers
Continuous wearing of retainers is essential for maintaing the benefits of braces. We offer a variety options including including removable (clear or metal), fixed, night guards, and splints in order to meet patient needs and desires.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of braces?
Comprehensive treatment cost typically ranges between $3000-$7000. The expense depends on a multitude of factors, such as the patient’s age, treatment plan, treatment length of time, and types of braces, and it is highly personalized based on the patient.
Can I use my health insurance to pay for braces?
Currently we accept most PPO dental insurance plans. Many insurance policies have separate coverage for orthodontic treatments, which our office can inquire on behalf of our patients with their provided insurance information.
Is it necessary to wear retainers after braces?
Retainers play a very important role in the results of your orthodontic treatment by preventing your teeth from shifting back to their old positions, known as a relapse. It is highly recommended that you wear your removable retainers for at least 12 months following the removal of your braces to maintain your beautiful smile.
When should I get braces?
Whether you are in your teens, roaring 20s, or 50s, it is never too late to start your journey towards a more confident smile! Orthodontic treatments can address a wide range of issues a patient may experience beyond crooked or crowded teeth, such as overbites or underbites, and jaw position.
