Metal braces take a more precise, thoughtful approach to treatment. Instead of being placed by hand alone, each bracket is digitally planned and positioned to guide your smile more accurately from the start. This level of precision can lead to more efficient treatment, fewer adjustments, and less time in the office.
When paired with Gwin Monitoring, your progress stays on track between visits, creating a smoother, more seamless experience. Schedule your complimentary consultation to learn more.
A growing smile needs the right guidance at the right time. Metal braces remain one of the most reliable and effective ways to correct crowding, spacing, and bite concerns for kids and teens, especially while the smile is still developing.
At Gwinnett Orthodontics, we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to treatment. Using advanced digital planning, each set of braces is designed to move teeth with greater precision, helping create more efficient progress and a smoother overall experience. For younger patients, this means fewer surprises along the way and results that develop naturally over time.
Today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and easier to manage than ever before. Combined with tools like Gwin Monitoring, many patients can reduce the number of in-office visits while staying on track with their treatment.
For families in Lilburn, GA, we understand how important it is to find care that fits into your routine. Whether your child is just starting to show signs of orthodontic concerns or your teen is ready for treatment, our team is here to guide you every step of the way with care that’s supportive, efficient, and built around your life.
We understand that braces are a big investment. That’s why we offer a variety of flexible solutions to help you finance treatment on your terms.
Invisalign® straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners. These are smooth and clear, providing a near-invisible and comfortable treatment option. They are removed for meals and brushing/flossing, improving oral hygiene. This treatment, as opposed to visible braces, prioritizes health, comfort and discretion while working toward a more aligned smile.
Different from aligners, which require consistent wear time while also being removable, braces are fixed to your teeth, ensuring uninterrupted treatment progress. With no need to remember to wear or remove them, braces simplify the orthodontic process for patients seeking this type of convenience.
By using braces that are preplanned and designed specifically to your bite and alignment, digital braces eliminate the additional treatment time needed for repositioning appointments with traditional braces, speeding up your journey to a healthier smile!
With shorter treatment times and greater accuracy than traditional braces, in-office visits for mid-treatment corrections and longer treatment times are eliminated. Instead of worrying about how you will make it in, you can stress less and focus on your routine and busy schedule!
