Types of Braces
At Behl Orthodontics, we believe orthodontic care should be as personalized as your smile. Every patient has different needs, preferences, and goals, which is why we offer several braces options designed to fit a wide range of lifestyles and treatment plans. From time-tested solutions to advanced, discreet technology, we’ll help you choose the option that’s right for you.
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most effective and reliable ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Today’s metal braces are smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than in the past, making them a great choice for patients of all ages. They’re especially effective for more complex orthodontic concerns and deliver consistent, predictable results. For younger patients, colorful elastic bands can also add a fun, personal touch to treatment.
Clear Braces
Clear braces offer the same proven effectiveness as metal braces but with a more subtle appearance. Using tooth-colored brackets, clear braces blend in with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable when you smile. This option is popular with teens and adults who want a more discreet way to achieve a confident, straight smile—without sacrificing results.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are designed for patients who want their orthodontic treatment completely hidden from view. These braces are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile or speak. Lingual braces work similarly to traditional braces while offering maximum discretion for patients who prefer a behind-the-scenes approach to straightening their teeth.
Brius Hidden Braces Technology
Behl Orthodontics is proud to offer Brius hidden braces technology—an innovative approach to lingual orthodontics designed for greater comfort and efficiency. Unlike traditional braces, Brius uses a customized appliance placed behind the teeth to move each tooth independently. This advanced system often reduces the need for frequent adjustments and can lead to a smoother, more streamlined treatment experience for qualifying patients.
Braces for Kids
Early orthodontic care plays an important role in supporting healthy smile development. At Behl Orthodontics, we follow the American Association of Orthodontists’ recommendation that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At this stage, permanent teeth are beginning to emerge, allowing us to identify potential concerns before they become more complex.
Not every child needs braces right away, but early evaluation allows us to monitor growth, guide jaw development, and address issues such as crowding or habits like thumb-sucking. When early treatment is recommended—often referred to as Phase One orthodontics—it can help create space for developing teeth and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later on.
When kids are ready for braces, we offer treatment options designed with comfort and confidence in mind. Colorful elastic bands allow children to personalize their braces and stay engaged in their treatment. Our team works hard to create a welcoming, positive environment so kids feel comfortable and encouraged at every visit.
Braces for Teens
The teen years are an ideal time to straighten teeth and correct bite issues, and Behl Orthodontics offers orthodontic solutions that fit both your teen’s needs and their lifestyle. During this stage of development, treatment can be especially efficient, helping teens achieve long-lasting results.
We know appearance matters, which is why we offer multiple braces options for teens. Traditional metal braces remain a popular and effective choice, with customizable colored bands that let teens express their personality. For those who prefer a more subtle look, clear braces or lingual braces placed behind the teeth may be a great fit.
Beyond improving appearance, braces help support better oral health. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease, while proper bite alignment improves chewing, speech, and overall function.
From the first consultation to the final reveal, our orthodontic team guides teens through every step of treatment, helping them feel informed, confident, and motivated throughout their smile journey.
Braces for Adults
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens—it’s never too late to achieve a healthier, more confident smile. At Behl Orthodontics, we offer braces options designed specifically for adults who want to improve alignment, correct bite issues, or enhance the appearance of their smile.
Whether you’re seeking orthodontic care for the first time or addressing changes that have occurred over time, adult braces offer a reliable and effective solution. We provide several treatment options to fit your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences, including metal braces, clear braces, and discreet lingual braces.
Straightening your teeth can do more than improve how your smile looks—it can also make brushing and flossing easier, support healthier gums, and help relieve discomfort caused by bite misalignment, such as jaw strain or uneven tooth wear.
We understand that adults have busy schedules and professional considerations, which is why we focus on efficient treatment planning, advanced technology, and personalized care. Our goal is to make orthodontic treatment as comfortable and convenient as possible while delivering results you can feel confident about at any age.
