Braces remain a popular option for straightening teeth and aligning the bite for a simple reason—they’re extremely effective. Unlike the braces of the past, however, today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and available in a variety of materials that give patients a wider range of aesthetic choices in treatment. Teenagers and adults alike have found braces to be a tried-and-true solution for achieving an even, attractive smile.
KLOwen custom digital braces begin with a 3D digital scan of your teeth. Dr. Bhavnani uses this digital model to plan your treatment and bracket positions for your individual smile. This personalized approach supports precise treatment planning and efficient care.
KLOwen is available in metal or clear, giving you a choice of appearance with a digitally planned treatment.
Braces are a fixed orthodontic appliance that works around the clock for efficient, convenient correction. Brackets are placed on the teeth with a special adhesive, and an archwire is added to exert steady, gentle pressure to guide the teeth into the desired position. Because they’re bonded to your teeth, there’s nothing to lose or forget. Braces are also relatively affordable compared to other teeth-straightening options.
At B Orthodontics, we offer several choices of brackets for patients to customize their treatment:
Traditional metal braces are a common treatment option. Modern designs have improved over the years, offering smaller brackets and a practical way to straighten teeth and improve the bite.
KLOwen uses a 3D digital scan and a personalized digital treatment plan. Available in metal or clear, this option combines custom planning with a choice of appearance.
Clear or tooth-colored ceramic braces offer a less noticeable appearance for older teens and adults. KLOwen also offers a clear option. Dr. Bhavnani can explain which choices suit your treatment needs.

How long an individual patient will need to wear braces depends on many factors: the specific issue being treated, the age of the patient when they start treatment, and what type of braces they choose. In general, teen patients tend to complete their treatment more quickly than adults, as their teeth move more readily. However, it’s never too late to get the beautiful smile you’ve dreamed of! We successfully treat adult patients every day.
While your braces are on, you’ll need to avoid certain hard and sticky foods, and you’ll need to take extra care with dental hygiene to keep your teeth as healthy as possible during treatment. Balanced against the lifetime reward of a beautiful smile and healthy bite, these temporary restrictions are a minor inconvenience well worth the effort to maintain. We work with our patients to ensure they know how to keep their braces in top condition for fast, effective treatment.
Like the treatment plan itself, the cost of braces from patient to patient varies based on the issues being addressed and the type of braces chosen. We offer a number of convenient payment options to help keep your orthodontic treatment within your budget, as well as working with you to maximize any applicable insurance coverage.
B Orthodontics is dedicated to helping patients achieve the smile of their dreams at any age. We’ll help you find the best option for achieving your orthodontic goals. Contact us today to schedule your free initial consultation.
