Who Is It For?

Metal braces are a trusted choice for patients of all ages — from children and teens to adults. They’re especially effective for treating complex tooth movements and jaw corrections that require more precise control. If you’re looking for a proven, reliable option that delivers excellent results, metal braces are a strong and affordable solution.

What do I expect?

Your journey begins by bonding small brackets to your teeth and connecting them with a flexible archwire. At each adjustment appointment, Dr. Luke will gently tighten the wire to guide your teeth into better alignment. Most patients visit every 4 to 8 weeks for check-ins, and treatment typically lasts between 18 and 30 months, depending on your individual needs.

At what age should I get braces?

Braces can be effective at almost any age. Most orthodontic treatment begins between ages 9–14, but it’s never too late for adults to start treatment and achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Will I need to have teeth pulled before getting braces?

Not always. In some cases where there is severe crowding, extractions might be recommended. However, we aim to preserve as many natural teeth as possible and explore space-creating options first.

How soon will I start seeing changes after getting braces?

Many patients start noticing small changes within the first few months. Full transformation takes time, but early shifts are encouraging signs that your treatment is progressing.

Will braces make my teeth worse before they get better?

It’s normal for teeth to look a little more uneven at the beginning of treatment. Braces are working to free up crowded teeth and move them into better alignment, which can make things look slightly worse before major improvements happen. This is a temporary and expected part of the process. As treatment progresses, your teeth will steadily straighten into their final, healthy positions.
