Traditional & Modern Braces
Proven, effective orthodontic treatment for all ages—from kids to adults
The Time-Tested Solution for a Perfect Smile
Treatment Options for Teens
Traditional Metal Braces
The most common and cost-effective option. Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. Choose from colorful bands to express your personality!
- Most affordable option
- Works for all ages
- Treats complex cases
- Fun colored bands available
Clear Ceramic Braces
A more discreet option that works just like metal braces but with tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural smile. Popular with teens and adults.
- Less noticeable appearance
- Same effectiveness as metal
- Great for adults
- Stain-resistant materials
Self-Ligating Braces
Advanced braces that use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire. This can mean fewer adjustments, less friction, and potentially shorter treatment time.
- Fewer office visits
- More comfortable
- Easier to keep clean
- Efficient tooth movement

The American Association of Orthodontists Recommends
All children should have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, even if all permanent teeth haven't come in yet. This allows Dr. Dula to spot potential issues early and determine the ideal treatment timing for your child.
For teens and adults, there's no age limit on achieving a healthy, beautiful smile!
