Why Choose Braces

Benefits of Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces use brackets bonded to teeth and connected by archwires to apply continuous, precise force to move teeth. The gold standard for complex cases and severe misalignment.

Works on Any Case

The most versatile option — effective for severe crowding, complex bite issues, and patients who need maximum control.

No Compliance Required

Brackets are bonded to teeth — no risk of forgetting to wear them.

Precise Control

Orthodontists can apply fine-tuned forces to individual teeth in ways clear aligners can't always match.

Often Less Expensive

Traditional braces are typically $500–$1,500 less than Invisalign for comparable cases.

Great for Teens

Not dependent on patient cooperation — ideal when compliance is a concern.

Proven Track Record

Decades of clinical evidence supporting safety and efficacy across all age groups.
