Metal or clear ceramic braces: what should you compare?
Braces use brackets and wires to guide teeth according to an orthodontic treatment plan. At your consultation, Dr. Tim will examine your teeth and bite before recommending an option. The right choice depends on your treatment needs as well as your preferences.
Traditional metal braces
Metal brackets are a familiar choice for children, teens and adults. If you like choosing colors for your braces, ask our team about the available options. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss how braces will fit into school, work, sports and daily routines.
Clear ceramic braces
Ceramic brackets blend more closely with the color of your teeth. If appearance is a priority, ask Dr. Tim whether ceramic braces are appropriate for your treatment and how they compare with metal braces for your case.
Explore our braces treatment guide for more information about treatment for different age groups. If you are also considering removable treatment, review our Invisalign and clear-aligner options.
Plan your first visit from Baton Rouge
Your free consultation is an opportunity to meet Dr. Tim, explain what you would like to change about your smile, and review treatment and payment options. First visits usually take about an hour. If you would like to start braces that day, let us know when you schedule—our team will help you plan for your consultation and getting started.
Can I get braces the same day?
Yes—same-day consultations and braces starts are usually possible at our Denham Springs office. If Dr. Tim recommends braces and you are ready, our team will help you get started that day.
What will ongoing appointments involve?
Braces treatment includes follow-up visits so the team can check progress and make adjustments. Before starting, ask about your anticipated visit schedule and plan for appointments at our Denham Springs office. The timing and number of visits depend on your treatment; we will explain your plan at the consultation.
We will also show you how to care for your braces and tell you how to contact the office if a bracket or wire needs attention. Tell us about school or work commitments so we can discuss available appointment times.
Braces cost, down payment and monthly payments
Your fee depends on your treatment needs and case complexity. At the consultation, we will review your total fee, required down payment and monthly payment options before you decide whether to start. A down payment is required; your specific terms will be explained with your treatment plan.
We accept most dental insurance plans and check your orthodontic benefits before your appointment. Send us your insurance information when scheduling so we can explain your estimated out-of-pocket cost at the consultation. Coverage depends on your individual plan. Read our financing and insurance information or use the payment calculator for an estimate. Calculator results are estimates, not a final treatment quote.
