There are standard metal braces (stainless steel) or ceramic braces available. Dr. Tichler and Dr. Abraham will discuss these options with you.
What are lingual braces?
Lingual braces are mounted behind a patient's teeth. Lingual braces are rarely used anymore. Generally, lingual braces are more uncomfortable than standard braces. Orthodontic treatment takes twice as long and is more costly. In addition, some people have trouble talking with lingual braces. Presently, lingual braces are only used in special clinical cases.
Is orthodontic care expensive?
When orthodontic treatment is implemented at the proper time, treatment is often less costly than the dental care required to treat the more serious problems that can develop years later.
Orthodontic fees have not increased as fast as many other consumer products. Our office offers many payment programs that will meet your needs. In addition, many insurance plans now include orthodontics.
