Braces, Designed Around You
Braces have come a long way. Today's self-ligating brackets are smaller, lower-profile, and more comfortable than what most adults remember from their own treatment. While clear aligners are a great option for many patients, braces still offer the highest level of precision and control, particularly for complex tooth movement, significant bite correction, and cases requiring exact rotational positioning.
At Brown + Co Orthodontics, Dr. Evan Brown plans every braces case personally, using a fully digital workflow. Each bracket is positioned on a 3D model of your teeth before it is placed in your mouth, which means a more accurate result, a smoother treatment, and shorter chair time at every visit.
Which Type of Braces Is Right for You?
Self-ligating brackets use a built-in clip to hold the archwire. No color elastic ties needed. The result is less friction, fewer adjustments, shorter appointments, and in many cases a faster treatment overall. Patients who choose metal braces still get to pick colored ties at each visit, which is a small perk that kids and teens look forward to.
Braces Work for a Wide Range of Cases
Braces are effective for crowded teeth, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and rotated teeth. They are particularly well-suited to cases that involve significant bite correction or complex tooth movement, and they remain Dr. Brown's recommendation for certain cases.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Most kids will not need appliances or braces that early, but Dr. Brown can identify whether early intervention or growth modification makes sense. For teens and adults, candidacy is evaluated case-by-case using your 3D scans and full diagnostic workup.
How Much Do Braces Cost in Chesterfield and St. Charles, MO?
Braces treatment at Brown + Co typically ranges, depending on the complexity of your case and other appliances being used. The best way to get a precise number is to come in for a complimentary consultation.
