Braces remain the most trusted, time-tested orthodontic treatment option available. At Kohrs Orthodontics, we offer two different options: traditional and clear. Your choice between them depends on your orthodontic needs and your lifestyle. Our team, led by owner and orthodontist Dr. Keith Kohrs, provides personalized braces treatment for all ages from start to finish, tailored to your oral health and aesthetic goals, comfort and long-term results.

What Are Traditional Braces?

Metal braces are the most recognized and well-known orthodontic appliances in the world, and for good reason. Made of high-grade stainless steel, they consist of brackets bonded to your teeth and a wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure to guide your smile into ideal alignment. They are able to treat a broad range of orthodontic cases, including the most complex.

Why Choose Metal Braces?

Today’s appliances are less bulky, more comfortable and much sleeker than the ones of the past. Advanced materials and smaller brackets help reduce irritation while still providing powerful corrective results. Other reasons we may recommend them for your new smile include:

  • Reliable And Efficient: They are durable and strong, making them a great choice for all types of alignment issues—from simple spacing concerns to more complex bite corrections. Their strength allows for precise tooth movement and often efficient treatment timelines.

  • Cost-Effective: For many families, these appliances are the most affordable orthodontic option without compromising quality or outcomes.

  • Customizable Colored Bands: One of the fun features of this option is that kids and teens can personalize their look with colorful elastics. At every adjustment, patients can select colors that celebrate school spirit, special events and holidays, or your own personal style.

What To Expect At Kohrs Orthodontics

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Kohrs evaluates your bite, alignment concerns and smile goals. From there, we’ll walk you through your options and help you choose the best solution for your needs.

Throughout your treatment, you’ll receive expert care and regular adjustments. We’ll use advanced digital tools for precise monitoring and planning and our team will support you with tips for comfort, hygiene, and successful outcomes.

Clear Braces In Aurora, Bennett and Strasburg, Colorado

Looking for something a little less noticeable? Clear braces work on the same bracket-and-wire principle as their metal counterparts, but with brackets made from tooth-colored or clear ceramic materials that blend with your smile. This makes them a more discreet alternative for patients who want effective orthodontic treatment with a subtler appearance.

Why Do Patients Choose Clear Braces?

Many patients choose clear for their discreet look, as they are much less noticeable than the traditional kind. This makes them a popular choice for our adult patients especially, as well as teens or even kids who want a treatment option that stands out less in everyday life. Like traditional metal counterparents, they are capable of treating a wide range of orthodontic concerns with excellent results. Though they are slightly more at risk for breaking, they consistently deliver the same precision and strength in tooth movement.

Braces FAQs

At Kohrs Orthodontics in Aurora, Bennett and Strasburg, Colorado, we believe that every orthodontic treatment should be tailored to you and your specific needs. For that reason, we are proud to offer a variety of treatment options for kids, teens and adults as well as every kind of smile.

Deciding between metal and clear? While both can effectively straighten your teeth and correct other orthodontic problems, below are some questions to help you decide. Ultimately, Dr. Kohrs will help guide you in making the best decision for you or your child.

Both kinds use brackets and archwires to gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. The main differences come down to the materials used and how noticeable the brackets are when you smile. Due to their transparent materials, clear braces are less noticeable choice.

Yes. They are extremely durable and resistant to damage, making them a great option for more complex orthodontic cases.

While clear types are also strong and effective, they are made from ceramic, which means they can be slightly more prone to breaking if not cared for properly.

Yes. Due to the ceramic materials they are made from, they do cost more.

For most patients, treatment time is similar with both options and depends more on your specific orthodontic needs than the type you choose. In some complex cases, traditional braces may offer a slight advantage due to their strength, but clear options are still highly effective for many patients.
