Treatment Options — Braces

A classic solution, personalized.

Traditional braces are a time-tested treatment for outstanding results. With KLOwen digital customization, they’re faster and more precise than ever.

Braces 101

Braces remain a top choice for solving most orthodontic concerns.

Traditional metal braces have come a long way, with improvements in materials, comfort, and appearance. Today’s brackets are smaller and more discreet, backed by advanced technology for precise tooth movement and a proven track record across a wide range of orthodontic concerns.

Effective

Braces correct simple alignment problems to complex bite issues.

Consistent

Continuous, controlled force aligns teeth with predictable and reliable results.

Cost-effective

Braces are affordable for all budgets, with flexible in-house financing.

Durable

Braces withstand wear and tear, making them great for active lifestyles.

KLOwen Custom Braces

A more personalized approach to traditional treatment.

KLOwen braces build on the reliability of traditional braces and elevate the experience with digital customization and precision engineering. Each bracket is individually designed for your teeth, resulting in more efficient movement and a comfortable fit from the start.

  • Fewer appointments, which means less missed school and work
  • Each tooth position digitally planned with precision
  • No unnecessary tooth movement means less discomfort
  • Shorter total time in braces

Questions & Answers

FAQs about braces

Have a different question? Don’t hesitate to call us at (972) 475-9660. We’re happy to answer all of your questions, big and small.

How do braces work?

Brackets are bonded to each tooth and connected by archwires that apply steady, gentle pressure. Over time, that pressure guides teeth into their ideal positions. The process is gradual, but the end result is a well-aligned smile that can last a lifetime.

How long does treatment with braces usually take?

Every case is different. After evaluating your teeth and discussing your goals, Dr. Allo will map out a personalized timeline. Most patients wear braces for roughly 18 months to 3 years, and regular progress checks help keep everything on schedule.

Is getting braces painful?

Some soreness is normal after placement and following adjustments. It typically fades within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild and temporary.

Will braces change the way I talk?

A slight adjustment period is common, especially with certain sounds. Most patients adapt within a couple of weeks and speak normally once they’re used to the brackets.

Are there foods I should avoid with braces?

Yes. Sticky, hard, and chewy foods like caramel, nuts, and popcorn can damage brackets or get caught in wires. We provide a detailed guide at your appointment so you know exactly what to watch for.

How often are adjustment appointments?

Most patients visit every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments. These appointments are generally quick and are essential for keeping your treatment progressing on schedule.

Can I play sports with braces?

Yes. We recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect both your braces and your teeth during physical activity. Our team can help you find one that fits comfortably over your brackets.

What's the best way to keep braces clean?

Brush at least twice a day, paying close attention to the areas around brackets and wires. Floss threaders or a water flosser make it easier to clean between teeth. Good hygiene during treatment helps prevent cavities and keeps your gums healthy.

Should I still see my dentist for cleanings during treatment?

Absolutely. Regular dental cleanings are especially important while you have braces, since brackets and wires can make thorough brushing more challenging.

How are KLOwen braces different from standard braces?

KLOwen braces use advanced digital planning to custom-design every bracket for your individual teeth. This precision can lead to more efficient tooth movement, greater comfort, and a streamlined treatment experience.

How do I know if KLOwen braces are right for me?

KLOwen braces work well for many teens and adults who want the dependability of braces with a higher level of customization. Dr. Allo will assess your smile, goals, and lifestyle during your consultation to recommend the best option.
