If you or your child suffer from crooked teeth, crowded teeth, jaw problems, or a misaligned bite, our orthodontist Dr. Macie Mills may recommend traditional metal braces.
While a variety of teeth straightening systems are on the market today, metal braces remain the most common type of treatment for orthodontic patients — kids, teens, and adults included! Today's modern metal braces are flatter, smaller and more comfortable than ever before.
Like every treatment provided at Mills Orthodontics, our metal braces are delivered with a personalized, gentle approach, designed with the best, healthiest smile outcomes in mind!
Self-Ligating Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are still the most widely used type of fixed orthodontic appliance. They are a reliable, effective, and economical option. Although they look similar, today’s metal braces are thinner, faster, and more comfortable to wear than ever before.
At Mills Orthodontics, we use state-of-the-art self-ligating metal brackets. These specialized braces decrease discomfort, the number of orthodontic visits needed, and the overall time in braces. These are not “your parent's braces” anymore!

Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are equally as effective as our traditional metal option, but with the added benefit of improved esthetics. Don’t trust yourself to wear clear aligners and still want an esthetic option? Ceramic braces is the answer!
Our clear, ceramic braces utilize the same “self-ligating” technology as our traditional metal braces and are almost invisible on the teeth. Many of our patients choose this option for a more care-free, discreet option to straightening their teeth.
Retainers & Post-Orthodontic Treatment
After you've completed the dental braces phase of treatment, Dr. Mills will help fit you with a custom retainer to ensure your new smile stays in place well into the future!
Lost your retainer? We can help! Just call our office and we'll help you get a replacement as quickly as possible.
How Much Do Braces Cost?
The average out-of-pocket cost for metal braces will often vary, depending on the following criteria:
- Your treatment timeline
- Forms of the necessary post or pre-orthodontic care
At Mills Orthodontics, we're happy to work with each patient to determine the best financing options for their unique needs. That's why we accept a wide range of dental insurance plans and offer a selection of additional financing options, as well as affordable monthly payment options for uninsured patients.
After your orthodontic consultation, Dr. Mills and her friendly team will design a treatment plan with all of the treatment and pricing-related information you'll need!
