Metal and ceramic braces for every age.
For most patients, both work well and the main difference is how they look.
The proven, dependable choice.
Clarity™ Advanced Ceramic Brackets, designed to blend in.
We recommend a first evaluation around age 7. Most kids won't need braces that early, but an early visit lets Dr. Schuler spot developing bite or spacing problems and plan the best timing for treatment. The evaluation is free.
Never. Many of our patients are adults, and ceramic braces are a popular choice for a lower-profile look at work.
Most patients finish in two to three years, depending on their case. Dr. Schuler will give you a personalized estimate at your consultation, and there's never an extra charge if treatment takes longer than expected.
Adjustment visits are typically every 8 to 10 weeks. That means fewer trips out of school or work than many practices.
Your teeth may feel sore for a few days after braces go on and after adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods usually help. Most patients adjust quickly.
Skip hard, sticky, and crunchy foods like popcorn, hard candy, caramel, gum, nuts, and ice. They can break brackets or bend wires. We'll give you a full list when your braces go on.
Yes. We provide a mouthguard for contact sports. Musicians playing wind or brass instruments usually need a week or two to get used to braces.
Call us. We can usually see you within one business day, and we're available by phone for guidance anytime.
You'll wear a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Your retainers are included in your treatment fee, and Dr. Schuler will go over your retention plan before your braces come off.
Cost depends on the complexity of your treatment, and Dr. Schuler will give you an exact quote at your free consultation. Our fees are below market averages, and we offer flexible in-house payment plans.
