Compare options with your dentist.
Traditional braces
Brackets and wires gradually guide teeth into alignment. Your dentist will discuss whether this approach fits your teeth and bite.
Clear braces
Less noticeable brackets use a bracket-and-wire system. Clear braces are different from removable clear aligners.
Your individual needs
Crowding, gaps, and bite concerns need an assessment. Your oral health and treatment goals help shape the recommendation.

Questions about braces
Can adults have braces?
Age alone does not determine suitability. The health of your teeth and gums, your bite, and your treatment needs matter.
How long will treatment take?
Timing depends on the movement needed and your individual plan. Your dentist can discuss an estimate after an evaluation.
Are clear braces the same as Invisalign?
No. Clear braces use brackets and wires; Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. Ask which options may be suitable for you.
What do braces cost?
Fees depend on the recommended treatment. Bring your insurance details if you have coverage so the team can discuss benefits and financial questions. No treatment price or coverage is guaranteed.
